I know I'm late to this post. I personally want a Ruger Mark IV 22/45. I like the 1911 ergonomics. I like the Ruger brand. Parts are plentiful to customize and accessorize.
I've fired a Colt Woodsman. They're nice. I've seriously pondered a Browning Buck Mark, too. I have yet to pull the trigger on buying a .22 pistol though.
I've got a few Rugers (rifles) and agree, it's a good brand which I'm happy to shoot. I like the Mark IV 22/45 which I think I said in another comment and it's something I'd consider. It's not on my test list though as I don't need it to be, I'm familiar with it already. The Browning Buckmark is equally as good too.
