Considering:
S&W
Browning
Ruger
Walther
?
I had a chance to try out a ruger MKIII and a Browning Buckmark when I was looking a cool little .22. The back of the trigger guard on the Ruger killed the back of my trigger finger,(not recoil), more like a ring that fit too tight. I was always banging into it. Not comfortable at all. Reminded me of getting in and out of a Geo Metro, just darned aggravating.

Now the Buckmark, it's ticks like a sewing machine, and has great ergonomics. Love that little gun. Glad I had a chance to try both before I bought.

If money were no object, the Sig is a fine choice. Wish I could say I had more experience with that one.

How about an old Colt Woodsman? If you can find one.
