The difference between a .22 and a .45 is recoil.  If you work with your 
hands on medium to heavy equipment, you should have no problem with 
flinching, or it can easily be cured with a little instruction.
Despite my penchant for semiautos, I purchased a Taurus 94 revolver 
recently.  4" barrel, blue, 9 shot.  I love it.  It is easily more 
accurate than any of my semiauto centerfire pistols.  I don't know how it 
would stack up against a Ruger Mk II, kind of a benchmark for .22lr 
semiautos.
I would suggest a 6" barrel though, I use mine as a trail gun as well, it 
needs to be a little smaller.
Other good .22lr handguns I would reccommend are the Browning Buckmark 
and the Ruger Mk II with a bull barrel.  There are plenty of others out 
there, most of them good, but these I can say for certain are excellent 
shooters and relatively affordably priced.
