thinking of buying 22 cal handgun.

For sure. Have found the one I picked up on the EE is plenty accurate, reliable and at less than $200 its an awesome buy. Always tempted to pick up an other whenever I see one.
^ Good advice for your situation
Is that a .22 revolver? What do you like about the revolver instead of semi-auto? I like the old fashioned look and full size of Ruger's .22 single 10.

Again, you're trying to improve competency with a H&K p2000 V5. This is a Double Action Only pistol with one of the worst 8.1 pound triggers I've encountered... If that's REALLY what you want to do, you NEED a DAO handgun. Pretty sure you'll find a revolver is the only way to go.
The Alfa Proj .22 revolvers are apparently pretty good. SFRC has them in stock, and I believe they offer LEO discounts:

This one is all steel (instead of an alloy frame), and only $100 more:

I'd have to say Ruger mark series.....I have the 22/45 lite and love it!! Shoots any ammo flawlessly. My buddy has a mark III and a buckmark ...both work well; but for accuracy and function he goes to the ruger. They can be tricky to dissassemble but after you do it 3 or 4 times its not as hard as people make it out to be.
I have had all 3 types of Rugers (MKI, MKII, MKIII); they are a great gun for the price and not that bad to work on once you get the hang of it (4-5 times apart).
That being said, if you are looking to help with your trigger control on a DAO pistol, I would lean towards a DA revolver as mentioned above. The best idea, as mentioned above also, is to buy one exactly like you have and put 9mm ammo down range, but I can understand that this can be expensive compared to 22 ammo.

Are these any good? I considered one awhile ago but not a lot of reviews and don't know anyone who has one .

I shot a few, They seemed pretty good. Not as nice as my S&W or Colt offerings, but better than the few Charter Arms I have shot. I have heard some complaints about the alloy framed ones, but the steel ones seem very sturdy.
With the number of them sold I would expect complaints here on CGN if they were crap-tastic!

Are you looking for a revolver or semi auto? Budget a concern? If a revolver works for you and $1000 is within your budget , S&W 617 is an excellent gun and great teacher, one you'll likely keep for a lifetime.
Master the 617 double action trigger and you can shoot any semi auto no problem. Learn on a semi auto and revolvers could be more difficult to master. Revolver or semi, choice depends really on your personal needs and goals.

Best 22 handgun is model 17 or 617 Smith and Wesson, you have to see it to believe it
