what kind of 22 revolver would you recommend and why. It would be for plinking mostly. Cottonmouth elimination also. Please tell me of guns that you own(ed) and are familiar with.
Ruger Single Six.
Make sure it has a very long barrel or can be mounted with a low power scope. Do not pay a lot of money. Many weapons out there that will fit your needs.

Wish they would undo the onerous 2nd amendment restrictions.
A very nice 22LR SMG could be made that held a lot of ammo.
Sort of a tiny Thompson with a small drum or canister.
Yeah, I was just looking at new ones only. I'm not smart enough to detect a used defective pistol.
Bond Arms Cowboy Defender.
Will fire any round put in it. Light and powerful.
They get top marks.
Speaking of prices skyrocketing, I have a stainless S&W kit gun in .22 mag that came with a factory .22 lr convertible cylinder. Bought it new for about $325. Pretty rare wheel gun.
10/22 is a great gun. Two of my buddies have one which neither likes Hollow point ammo. May well be isolated to Remington subsonic I used which had feed/eject problems when I borrowed them.
Still haven’t seen any bricks here in any of the Fort Worth Walmarts.
It's not the hollow points. The subsonic won't cycle it reliably.
I have had a 4” Taurus M94 stainless steel 9-shot for years, with adjustable sights. It is very handy, accurate and dependable. Get a dud round? Just pull the trigger again. I also have an old 1950s Hi-Standard 9-shot with 6” barrel that is easier for me to shoot accurately but, it not as handy with the longer barrel. There are 9-round speed loaders for them. Learn to shoot one well and you can use it for about anything you’ll ever need a pistol for.
The new ones have it.
All of my S&W revolvers other than that older model 617 have it.
I have never locked any one of my revolvers, and doubt that I can even find the key for any of them.
On the 'official' 617 page on the S&W site, all of the views that are shown there except for the 360-degree interactive view show the right side of the revolver where the lock is not visible: https://www.smith-wesson.com/firearms/model-617
There's a lot of history and ill-will behind that internal lock, because it was added as a capitulation by the then-owners of S&W to what were effectively blackmail demands presented by the Clinton administration.
S&W is under new ownership, but the lock remains on most new-production revolvers (although from time to time the S&W 'custom shop' releases a batch of certain models without the lock as a 'special').
See http://www.luckygunner.com/lounge/smith-and-wesson-internal-lock/ for one person's view of the matter.
BTW, for a much lower 'street price' instead of a 'list price' for the 10-rd. 617 with the 6" barrel, this site (https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/26304/Firearms/Handguns/Smith+%26+Wesson/S%26W+Revolvers/S%26W+M617+10RD+22LR+6) has it for $691.13 (or $671.00 cash discount price), instead of the $829.00 list shown on the S&W site. (There are also a mix of good and bad reviews on that page.) If your local gun shop sells them, you may find a price in-between those.
Have you seen the videos of 10/22 in full auto?
There are many demos of full auto the link above is just one.
ruger makes a nice revolver that has interchangeable cylinders for .22 LR and .22 mag. Fun to plink with, and great for side arm when mending fence for the occasional snake that needs killing.
My choice is a High-Standard Model 107 Military.. “You can drive nails with it”
Remington 572 TWB (Blue Teal Wing) Aluminum Fieldmaster Featherweight
In 1958 Remington experimented with non-traditional, colored metal surfaces on three special, lightweight versions of the Model 572. The reduced weight of these guns was due to the use of anodized and specially colored aluminum receiver, trigger guard, buttplate, and jacket for a steel barrel liner resulting in a total weight of only about 4 pounds. These rifles all had checkered, light-colored, "Sun-Grain" walnut stocks and were produced in three metal-color versions: Model 572 CWB Crow Wing Black (1958-1962); Model 572 BT Buckskin Tan (1958-1962); and Model 572 TWB Teal Wing Blue (1959-1960). About 34,785 were made, relatively few for a .22 rifle.
The Remington Model 572 is a pump-action rifle manufactured by the Remington Arms Company. It is noted for its similarity to the Remington 870 shotgun in design. It is chambered for the .22 Short, .22 Long and .22 Long Rifle cartridges. Ammunition is supplied by a tubular magazine under the barrel which holds 15-22 rounds depending on the cartridge used. The longevity of manufacture speaks well of the popularity and durability of the action, and the overall reliability of this gun. It is popular with "plinkers" and collectors both, along with being a good small game, or "camp" rifle.
