I work at a gun range. We rent guns, as well as sell them. The Sig and Walther suck. Very ammo sensitive. I personally am not a huge fan of the 22/45 because I always hit the mag release when I am shooting it, but other than that, it is a fine, accurate, reliable gun. The MK3s are more to my taste. (Actually think the MK2 is the best, and wish Ruger would have left well enough alone) The MK series of guns lots of folks find difficult to put back together, but once you get the hang of it there is nothing to it. ) The SR22, although I find it ugly as sin, has proven to eat everything you feed it. Someone mentioned the Browning Buchmark, another good choice.
