My wife likes the Walther TPH. Use "hot" ammo though for perfect functioning.

I've put nearly 2,000 rounds through my Taurus TP-22, mostly Winchester.
To date, with the Winchester ammo, there has not been a SINGLE failure to fire, feed, or eject.
The ONLY problems I had were failures to fire on the first strike with some CCI cheap stuff.

Beware the man with the S&W .357 Mag.
Chances are he knows how to use it.

Funny, my model 21 doesn't jam unless I shoot about 250-300 consecutive rounds. Then the accumulated carbon and powder fouling causes smokestack jams every few shots until it just won't eject at all. Which would happen to any pistol which relies on blowback action rather than an extractor to remove the shell casing.
Sometimes with .22 you get shells which won't go off despite good indentation of the primer. The Model 21 allows second strikes and rapid clearing is just a matter of popping up the barrel and flipping the cartrage out then recocking with a new one.

Add my vote for the Beretta Mod. 21.
I think I gave $180 for mine.
I also think they are better guns than people give them credit for.
Mine is accurate and reliable, but then I had to experiment a little to find the ammo it liked best, which is Thunderbolt solids, happily the kind they sell at Wal-Mart for 10 bucks a brick.
