I do enjoy the shooting range. I wouldn't mind something I could just shoot some targets with. But dropping several hundred dollars on a .22 handgun just to shoot largest a couple times a year seemed wasteful.
Heritage has some .22 single-action revolvers that are incredibly fun to shoot and won't break the bank. Guns.com has several models for under $120 (not counting transfer fees and taxes and stuff). They have interchangeable cylinders so you can shoot .22LR (which is dirt cheap for ammo) and .22WMR (which is powerful enough to do light hunting--racoon, coyote, groundhog, etc). And they have all kinds of parts available for customizing.
I bought this one for about $125 (plus another $75-ish for engraved grip, cylinders, and chrome parts). Heritage Barkeep Boot with 1" barrel.

And I think this one was $180 at Cabela's. It feels NICE in my hand, really well balanced. Heritage Rough Rider with 6-1/2" barrel.

.22LR ammo can be had for under $5 per box of 50. .22WMR is a good deal more expensive, around $12-15 per 50, but that's still a bargain compared to something like .45 Colt which usually runs about $1 per shot.
