/k/ I'm looking for a .22 pistol to plink with. I'm short on cash and want to make it a bit cheaper to shoot.
I'm looking at pic related as an option. Bud's guns has them for 130$ and with an FFL transfer that's around $160 which is about the cheapest option. I've also looked at the Buckmarks, Ruger Sr22, Beretta u22 Neos, and others. I could save up and buy something like the ruger but it will be a while before I can get it and I'm still looking at about $330 for that.
Halp me /k/. Should I buy the cheap wheel gun or save up for a superior semi auto?
Bonus: My girlfriend is left-handed and shoots with me. The Sr22 felt nice in my hand, is compact enough to be a glovebox gun, and has ambidextrous safeties so my gf can shoot. So I'm leaning towards saving up but I don't know much about any of these.
sr22 slide is made of cheap aluminum, and the steel slide lock over time eats away at thr slide and it stops working.
literally had to throw mine away. get a wheel gun instead imo

What about the beretta? Or a S&W?

roughriders have shitty longevity too since the frame is some alloy bullshit
dont get me wrong you will certainly get 150 dollars of use from it but by 10-15k mark its worn out and will shoot loose constantly
fun as fuck though
if you want something fun that will last like 5 years roughriders adequate. if you want something to pass down buy a single six or single 10
buy the version with real sights

never shot them. went ahead and bought a used s&w model 17 22lr wheel gun.
The old H&R nine shot .22s are hard to beat. Good shooters and can be found for 100 to 150 used. This one lives permanently in a holster sewn to the inside of my fishing vest.

I found one of these for sale for $100.
Are they reliable? Any thing I should watch for when I go take a look? Barrel length isn't stated so should I hope it's a certain barrel length?

have you considered an NAA?

Rough Rider's are supposedly fun an decently reliable for how cheap they are.

If you save up for a semi auto go for something like a Ruger Mark III 22/45. .22lr isn't reliable out of a pistol with a slide.

or accurate

Too expensive for a revolver.
If I'm getting a .22 revolver and now a semi auto then I'm only willing to spend a max of $150.

Rough Riders are awesome guns for 3 different types of people: children learning to shoot, enthusiast cowboy action shooters, and people with loads of .22.
Great guns for the price, though this will break down over time and eventually stop working after a few thousand rounds. That being said, they are fun as hell to shoot with, fairly accurate since the barrel has some length to it, and are obviously incredibly cheap, probably the cheapest handgun you can safely shoot.

The only issue I've seen is cylinder faces beat to shit by dry firing. Otherwise they are accurate and reliable pistols.
