Can you say K-22? 
I like my K-22, but the nod goes to my 10-shot 4" 617. Equal to the K-22 in accuracy, but much more versatile. I can use it as an understudy to my .357mag, as a plinker, to shoot rimfire steel matches, and can be pressed into target duty. It's one of my most-shot guns (well, right up until I got a progressive press 
).

MrBorland, I am very happy when I can pull such groups... firing SA. 
Which is not quite often, I must add.

Hard to pick just one. I have had both of these for years and both are tack drivers.

My favorite .22 revolver is the favorite purely for sentimental reasons, as it was the first firearm I ever bought for myself. It's a stretch to list it, because it went walkabout during a move a number of years ago, but I still have a soft spot in my heart for it.
It was a German-made clone of a SAA, most likely taken from the Colt New frontier .22 six gun. Cost me all of $25 back in my Army days. I bought it for snake protection when hiking the desert in Arizona with my cousins. I keep wanting to say it was a J.P. Sauer & Sohn, but I have a nagging feeling that's not correct. I remember it had white plastic, imitation stag grips, and I once found a photo of what appeared to be the EXACT same gun somewhere on the Internet.

Son of a gun! (If you'll pardon the expression.)
I remembered where I found the photo of "my" old .22 six gun. Rimfire Central (where else?).
Herbert Schmidt was the maker. Mine looked exactly like this one:
I currently own a Ruger Single Six, which is undoubtedly a much better firearm -- but I still miss my first.

I have always preferred an autoloading .22 pistol. While I have one of those well made S&W .22 kit guns it's the Colt Woodsman that's my gun!
A autoloading .22 pistol can be held much steadier than a revolver.
I steady my aim by reaching forward on the Woodsman's barrel just back from and under it's front sight.
Also the Target model Woodsman can be carried grip down, chamber empty, in my back pocket.
I can conceal it with my shirt tail out.

My only 22 revolver - S&W Model 18-3. Only shoots paper at the range, generally at 25 ft offhand. Sights are good, I have not adjusted them.
Pilot - that diamondback looks great.
