I'd have to agree with some of the following comments about a S&W model 21a/s. I personally own a walther p22, S&W model 21s and a S&W model 41. If your looking for something cheaper but very accurate at 15 to 20 yards, the S&W 21s or 21a are a great gun with easy breakdown and cleaning. I prefer my S&W model 41 with a burris fastfire reddot, but it is a little pricey. If you are wanting to compete cheaply a model 21 is the starting .22 for you. I wish you the best of luck on a hard decision.
