Best 22lr Pistol for getting into shooting

Browning buck mark is a really good gun for under $500.00 and the Heritage Rough Rider with 1 cylinder for under $300.00 and 2 cylinder for $400.00 cant beat that.
 
Fully agree with sheep100 about Browning Buckmark. Easy to shoot, inexpensive, reliably feeds any ammo and light enough for a kid. You can't go wrong with it.
Having said that - if you continue shooting for more than a year, you will end up with SW 41 anyways :)

see I would have said the same but with the S&W 617.. I started with others and ended with my 617.
 
Hi there. I'm new to handgun shooting as a hobby (law enforcement) and want to purchase a 22lr for economical reasons and so I can teach my son to shoot. I've been reading up on 22 pistols and see that jamming can be an issue. What should I be looking for specifically in a pistol and what companies/models do you recommend? I've been eyeballing the Waltham PPQ as a possibility, but it definitely is not the cheapest option for shooting. Shoot me some ideas!! :ar15:


my first was an old rg63 I bought for $125.00 and it was great to learn on for setting the sights, taking apart and cleaning and learning how to shoot. I still have that old gun and every now and then it come for a ride out to the range with me, but because I was learning how to do all that stuff and it was an old gun I didn't cry when I scratched it and maybe you might want that for your kid, something he can clean himself and adjust his own sights and so on.
