For .22 target shooting with a relatively inexpensive yet decent quality pistol, you will want either a Browning Buckmark or a Ruger Mark II or III with barrel lengths of at least 5" to 5.5" long. Both basic models can be had for around $300 new or one can pay more for fancier versions, but both are capable of winning local friendly bullseye shooting competitions. If target/bullseye shooting at a pistol range is the intended use, trust me, the Walther P22 is not a desirable choice. Walther P22's are fun plinkers (when you get a good one that works), but even with thelonger barrel, they will not typically match the accuracy of the Buckmark or Ruger.
