I bought the Smith & Wesson M&P22 and love it. It is plenty accurate, full size and if you're planning on moving up to a 9 mm it fills the gap as a training pistol.
My considerations were also break down for cleaning. The M&P22 basically field strips like a regular 9 mm semi-auto and cleaning the barrel is very easy, no tools needed. It is made by Carl Walther in Germany to S&W specifications.
Cleaning the barrel of a Buckmark or Ruger Mark xx means tools and patients.
