Just wanted to thank you gentlemen for your opinions and advice.
It would seem that the Ruger and Buck Mark lead the way. I happen to like the Browning a bit better, but both guns are excellent.
Thank you all again.

Square thing behind trigger is part of the trigger/sear. It operates on its own- do not fiddle with.
One of our late members, ( Bill Goforth ), was very knowledgeable and wrote a book about Iver Johnson firearms. Perhaps one of our current members who has Bill's book, could give you more information.
Your description of the "Square Buttons", seems to be parts of the cylinder pin release and sear mechanism. As shown in this photo off the net.
Iver Johnson's were decent quality guns. Any modern standard velocity .22 ammo should safely function. If you have any doubts about the revolvers condition? Take it to a competent gunsmith for inspection, function test and test firing.
Hey thanks everyone for your help. rufe-snow that picture is exactly of the one I have, and looks to be in the same condition. There are two buttons one as you can see in front of the cylinder to remove the cylinder pin, but the one I was talking about is the one in your photo of the one inside the trigger guard just behind the trigger. Was thinking some kind of safety cause it moves when you pull the hammer back. But I want to thank you all for your help.
I believe the part you're referring to is the sear. At the end of the triggers cycle when it's as far back as it can go. It contacts the sear which in turn releases the hammer from it's full cock position.
Ok thanks rufe-snow. It needs a little work, seems the hammer is hanging up some when you cock it. But thanks for all your help.
That may be caused by dried oil and crud. Have a competent gunsmith tear it down for a thorough tune up. (detailed cleaning)
