Opinions needed - best .22lr handguns - and why?

Ruger MKII with 10" Bull Barrel man is this thing sweet to shoot

Look at a S & W 22A1. It will hold it's own with any Ruger or Buckmark and is a lot less expensive. Also easier to clean.

I used to have a 22A and loved it. The price on them has gone up a bit over the last year though. Got mine at Clyde's fir $229. Now they're closer to $270.
