    I picked up a used unfired markIII 22/45 a few months ago for $249 and a new Heritage rough rider 4.5" for $110. The heritage shoots great but being a single six design, lacks the fun factor of being able to fire 10 off in a hurry.

    The 22/45 is also great but does not like some of the hollow point rounds which seem to be a bit more common. It loves a plain old Remington thunderbolt round nose lead.

    Of the two, the Ruger is more fun.

    I have a S&W 22A that I'd part with. Orig owner, 5.5" bbl, 2 mags and orig box. Possibly throw in a box of CCI Mini-Mags out of my stash if needed.

    I have a S&W 22A Deluxe Talo Edition for sale in the classifieds handguns section. It may not be as low cost as you might expect due to it being the deluxe edition 22a but it is near mint, functions perfectly, and comes with 5 magazines. I recently reduced the price that I was asking for it.

    The cheapest pistol you will ever own is a really good one that you can sell for more than you paid 10 years from now. Plus, you will have the joy of having a really nice one for all the use you want. Todays $200 ones are generally worth south of $50 after you use them a couple years. A $500 one today will not loose a lot in the near future and will gain down the road.
