S&W 17 revolver
Browning Challenger semi-auto, ideally one made in Belgium with gold trigger
either is a really classy choice!
I would not have the patience to load and unload a single action .23 revolver but that is just me
good luck

Ruger Mark IV™ Hunter
Got one of these gems, accurate, reliable, easy to strip down and clean.

Really like my Ruger IV light model. Ease of takedown is great.
Buckmark are good as well, not as nice to clean. Not horrible but I haven't shot it since purchasing the Ruger.

Recently got a browning 1911-22 for Xmas to practise with cheap/ warm up before the real guns
And teach my kids how to handle a pistol
So far no complaints. Won't fire unless a mag is in is the only drawback but just a nuisance. Also I paint penned the front sight.
Accurate though ! Seems good

Its a great little gun. My son shot one for a couple of years. Many thousands of rounds with no issues. The magazine safety is easy to get rid of, cut the tab off the back of the trigger and it is gone.

Can you get a 22 that mimics your 40? ie M&P22. If so, I’d maybe go that route. If not the Venerable Ruger Mark II’s and up are pretty hard to beat.

Got the boss a Sig marked GSG 1911 chambered in .22 a couple years ago that hasn't really had any issues.
I have a Sig mosquito in .22 that shoots flawlessly using the cheap 1400 round buckets of .22. It doesn't care for pricier ammo.
We have a Ruger Bearcat that's also fun to shoot. Along with a few other .22 revolvers.
We love our revolvers but I would reccomend a semi auto. They're just so fun and cheap to shoot.

Ruger Single Six are plentiful & economical. Can be fun to switch to mag, shoot the shotshells. Knew a guy had a S&W 10 shot revolver. It could use up some ammo. Lol

Buying brand new you’re looking at $1500+. Keep an eye out on cgn and you can get them a bit cheaper usually.

Absolutely right Dalton! I have a couple model 41s, I like them so much. My shooter is a 1979, and I have a minty Mid 60s, pre A prefix. I shoot my Model 41 more than any of my other guns. The Model 17 is great too, but the 41 is best. Another good choice is a Colt Woodsman or Challenger. Fantastic guns.
But get a 41. I got both of mine for under $900 shipped (each) on GunNutz. Just have to watch for them.
As far as a brick lasting for a long time....not so much. I have run about 2500 rounds through mine in the last month.

And this tells a bit about why you should get a Model 41....
