You have good taste sir.Smith & Wesson k22 or a Colt Woodsman.
Both of these are outstanding pistols and a lot classier than a Buckmark.

Great choices. I have the S&W K22 with 6” barrel. Accurate and reliable !!Smith & Wesson k22 or a Colt Woodsman.
I still love the Mark IIs best. I have a blued 678 and a stainless 678. Both with the hook front sight. They have taken a ton of grouse, rabbits, and squirrels over the year. A few hen house varmints as well.Ruger Mark IV > Browning Buckmark IMO. The previous models Mark1-3 are considerably more difficult to take down and the Mark 3 had a loaded chamber indicator that IMO completely ruined the aesthetic of the pistol.
22lr revolver?
Always loved my H&R "Sportsman". It would be one to look for in the "used" category.

My Dad's hand-me-down for my 12th birthday. He stated that every trapper needs a good reliable 22 revolver. He had purchased it new in the early 50s for the same reason.I've got my grandfather's H&R, but it's not the top break, just w/a loading gate. Fun as all get out to shoot and it would make for a great 22 plinker/grouse getter for well under the $500 price point of the OP. Cool little Roscoes!
Is that a single action or double action?22lr revolver?

Sorry for the late response.Is that a single action or double action?
Welp, new item added to the wish listStevens Model 35. You can get 2 for $500.
6, 8, or 10" barrels. These things even came in .410, but that's another story.

Thanks, just wandering what that hook inside the trigger-guard behind the trigger do?Sorry for the late response.
It's a double action.
Hard to beat a heritage rough rider for the price.I don’t have one, don’t need one, but want one. Since it’d be my first, 22lr seems logical. What would be your recommendation for plinking and maybe taking a grouse. What are the dependable, good value makes and models I should look at? Always been partial to revolvers but nothing against semi autos. Surely open to used guns. I’d say budget is about $500.
That is is the sear. The trigger's only function in these guns is to rotate the cylinder and @#)(# the hammer. At fully travel they bump that sear, which releases the hammer.Thanks, just wandering what that hook inside the trigger-guard behind the trigger do?
iI am intrigued.
You're going to get a million suggestions on here. Some will definitely be great suggestions, but the smartest thing to do is to go to a handful of stores and handle as many handguns as you can. Everyone's hand it different. What fits my hand might feel like absolute crap to you and vice versa. Also, see what you like the looks of because lets be honest looks matter. Make a list of what you like.
Come back here with that list and see how it matches up with what the folks on here are recommending. My 2 cents.
