Something that fits your hand that you are comfortable shooting. Also make sure its something you can afford to practice with. A 22 rimfire can be lethal but they lack quick stopping power. A 44 magnum is a great stopper but can be hard to control without a lot of practice. Go to a gunshow & handle some guns. Then find a range near you that rents guns to try some out. I would recomend a minimum of a 38 Special or a 380 ACP on the small end up to a 44 Special or 45 ACP on the big end. Learn the 4 rules & be safe.

What is the best 22 pistol?

There is no one "best" for everything. A Hammerli Olympic grade target pistol may be an excellent firearm for one specific competition, and fare poorly in another. A Ruger Mk III may be the leader in another competition, but is far to big for easy concealed carry as a defensive firearm. Depends on what you want the pistol to do.

What is the best 22 caliber semiautomatic pistol?

There is no ONE best for everything.
