Ruger 22/45 Mark III stainless with 5.5" bull barrel.
I did a small tweak on the magazines for reliability of feeding. Since then has jammed twice in several thousand shots fired. It will feed any ammo.
Also I modded the frame to accept 1911 grips, fits in the hand much better now. The default grip is pretty uncomfortable, I'd suggest a Mark III instead of the 22/45 unless you want to mod it.

Ditto on the Neos.
It really is a nice gun to shoot. Adjustable sight.
Simple to strip down.
Damn extra mags cost me @ $49 each tho!

Same experience with mine. I have seen rugers, neos, 22a's, buckmarks, model 41's, all jam way more than the Kadet. There is a new shooter night at my club where we beat alot of .22s to hell with thousands of rounds a month, and my Kadet has been flawless(as a .22 can be). The tab on the follower that actuates the slide lock is starting to wear and not lock back ocassionally but a new mag would fix that. It has seen more rounds than any other gun I own though.
Ruger MKIII, Browning Buckmark, S&W 22A for semi auto's
Ruger Single Six convertible, S&W 63, Taurus 94 for revolvers.
For the Semi's, the Ruger is taken more to the range. Feeds everything flawlessly, decent accuracy, and easy to maintain. Make sure you have an instruction manual when you strip it the first time. I know people who say it's a pain in the ass to strip, but it's not nearly that bad. The S&W is the second favourite. Bit more accurate, but needs a bit more TLC than the Ruger.
Revolvers, definitely the S&W, but that's because it just feels right in my hands. The Ruger is nice as well, but I love my S&W. Keep in mind, I have a bias for S$W revolvers.
Avoid the Sig Mosquito. I traded mine for ammunition. Never fed anything well, including the premium ammo.
As a side note, avoid Winchester Xperts. I've yet to see any firearm which likes them.

Ruger Mark III .45
It sucks, and only because I SCREWED IT UP..
Like an idiot, years ago when I bought it, I tried to get the barrel off of the reciever with a hammer, tapping lightly. Well the tapping warped the end where the bolt goes in, so now the bolt doesn't cycle very well. I tried to bend it back out, and it helped a bit but not enough.
I also removed all the safety crap, such as the magazine firing safety, and the round in chamber indicator. Less parts the better right? Well the hammer now is moving around cause I didn't use spacers where the mag safety was...
sigh.. sometimes I just need to leave crap alone However, it was a learning experience.
I want a browning buck mark, and I'm going to leave it alone!
When I can afford it, I'll get the kimber .22LR

I have been thinking about selling my operator to fund a few other things I've been wanting for awhile. I've been looking at 22,s and I've got it down to the ruger mkIII or the sig mosquito. Has any one had any problems with these guns? Or is there anything I've over looked in that price range? Thanks...
Search Sig Mosquito on this site and there will be about 10,000 threads about how it sucks. There will also be threads about how the people using the right ammo love it. Seems to be the newer models are a bit better. It just plain and simply won't cycle cheap ammunition well. But if your like me, I'd rather risk it and get the mosquito because I hate the looks off all ruger pistols haha. (As I slip on my flame retardant suit)
neither of those would be my favorites. You may like MkIII's but they are only good to learn basic shooting skills, once you are past initial learning curve you will need either something based on real gun frame or real competition pistol, everything in between is just a toy. And Rugers are xactly that. Trouble is - both options are expensive, be it 1911 frame or used Pardini's you are up for 1000$.

With all due respect, most guys that buy 'other' guns after owning a Ruger MK2, do so because 1) They want a new toy or 2) Want something a little more refined.
I doubt there's many (or any) shooters in Canada that have the physical (and mental) ability to outshoot the pistol.

You are speaking from lack of experience IMHO. I routinely outshoot centrefire automatic pistols, if not outshoot than just plain improve with better quality pistol. With 22's it is harder to outshoot them but some shoot better than the others from the hands of the same shooter. Rugers have sights way up high which give serious disadvantage with timed and rapid fire series. I wish I owned ruger - over half a century casting same stuff, no investments into research or modification, just pumping the same sheat. Rifles or pistols alike.
