Most people don't realize it but a .22 lr needs MORE power hitting the primer to set it off than does a centerfire cartridge. You have to balance hand strength necessary to hold and operate the weapon versus the recoil. Most revolvers take MORE trigger finger power to operate. I respectfully suggest you consider a small to medium frame .38 revolver, or if you must got with a .22 try the Walter P-22. Single action or double action first shot. Decent trigger pull. Reasonable power needed to operate the slide.
