22 semi-auto pistol

I am looking at buying my first 22 semi auto pistol. I am a member of my schools pistol club, which has pistols that we can use but they are a little old and have seen there better days. I have been shooting slow-fire, timed-fire, and rapid-fire style targets. I have been looking at getting a Ruger Mark II with a 5 and a half inch barrel in stainless steel. Are there any other pistols that I should take a look at or is this going to be the best one for the job? I am a college student, so money is kind of an issue, nothing over $400 or so.ThanksNate

  Nate, What you have been looking at, the Ruger Mk II target, is hands down the best there is for anything near the price. My own Mk I, purchased new in 1964 for less than $50, has had at least 10,000 rounds thru it. No misfires, no jams, never a replacement part. Be certain to get the TARGET version, and make your decision between the 5 1/2 Bull and the 6 1/2. Have fun.Morty

  All modles suggested are great, espically the Ruger, which will hold its value probably better than the rest, but then If its something you plan to keep, it really doesn't matter ...One other sugetion, if you can find one the Colt Cadet is also a great shooter, and being a Colt will also hold its value. I say If you can find one because I beleive they stopped production of the Cadet several years ago ... '97 maybe ... at any rate JudgeColt or someone who knows more about Colts than I will probably be along after while & correct me if I'm wrong.
