I have finished my 10/22 and need a 22 handgun to go with it. Eventually I'll have more than one but right now I need to pick one due to several other gun purchases. It will have the barrel treaded for a suppressor later.

These are the models I'm thinking about and any feedback would be appreciated.

Beretta 87 Target

Smith & Wesson Model 41

Smith & Wesson 422

CZ Kadet


Not interested in a Ruger or Browning as I've had both and they never really completely impressed me.

Thanks.

I swear I answered this an hour ago!
Either Smith is wonderful.
If you've mentioned the M-41, money is obviously no problem. Heavier, better trigger, easy takedown, and for the low, low price of $425 you can get a Clark Team Challenger barrel with Picatinney top and suppressor thread.
422, I have 2 and a 2206, same mags as the M-41. Reliable lighter (in the case of the 422/622), pre-threaded for HotRod9MM's 1/2x28 suppressor adapter.
The Kadet is my favorite .22 pistol....after the M-41. All steel, fixed barrel, shoots anything, smooth nonstacking DA trigger, smooth slightly camming (that's not creep) combat SA trigger. Mine's a satin nickel 85Combat with a kit.
I know the Beretta comes from Italy....

I vote Kadet.  I like a steel pistol and for some reason, I just don't think I could go through with threading a 41.

Another vote for the Kadet; I love mine. Of the ones listed in the OP, I'd go:

Kadet
Beretta
S&W 41
S&W 422

...but that's just my personal preferences.

This. I haven't had my Kadet for very long but it's a blast!

Try the Buckmark Whisper before you write them off. It's factory threaded so you can use the same can for both rifle & handgun. And yes, I own one.
