May not qualify as best gun,
But best value might be the charter arms pathfinder 4" barrel with both 22mag and 22 LR cylinders
Never saw one, made 100% in USA and only 500 bucks with both cylinders.
JJ,
Do yourself a favor and avoid the pathfinder. I had one for the same reasons you state, sent it back to the factory for repairs and it came back with the same problem. In my opinion, they are inexpensive for a reason.
I sold mine at a deep discount with full disclosure and was glad to be done with it.
FWIW,
Paul
