Looking for a nice, inexpensive .22 target semi-auto pistol

I know this is a S/G forum but we also shoot pistols and rifles.
My trusty Browning Buckmark target pistol was stolen last year and the S&W model 22 replacement proved a disaster. S&W is going to repair it for free as it is under warranty. (I recommend registering new guns with the manufacture, it makes things a lot easier when they frack up) I am selling the S&W after I proof-test it.
I am in the market for a new .22 semi-auto target pistol. Currently there are several mass-marketed pistols of the type available. I have a candidate in mind, but am open to ideas. 500 bucks is about the price point I am looking at. Does anyone have some suggestions?

Ruger MK II, if you can find one, or a MK III, if not. The best other alternative would be another Buckmark.

If you insist on something more modern, then the M&P Compact .22 or Ruger SR22 are both good choices, being very unpicky about what they're fed.

Another good choice would be the GSG 1911-.22 or SIG 1911-.22 (both models are exactly the same, but the SIG comes with a lifetime warranty, but is a bit more expensive).

Pretty much all of the above should be easily within your $500 limit.

When you get the model 22 back, let me know, I'd like to take a look at it and maybe make you an offer. I've wanted a S&W model 22 for a while, now.

Hope this helps!

Are you the troll? I see a legit question from a newer member (like yourself) and answered it. If you don't like my suggestions, offer some of your own.

Delete post #3 please
Other than the op being in the wrong section I don't see a problem here.

I like to think of some people here have some common sense, but I don't know.

Wyldman gave solid advice, which helped me out with a sidearm for the kids. Thanks

My guess is he was trying to get someone to offer a pistol for sale to him and pull this

I think I may be a spammer. Not sure yet as I dug up a thread that's over a year old.

I suggest posting up an introduction and telling us a bit about yourself if you plan to be a part of this community. Making an ass of yourself in broken English with your first post isn't a good way to stick around here.
