I have a Smith and Wesson 22A-1 that i was trying to sell but dont seem to be much interest so i may just end up keeping it since they are fun and inexpensive to shoot but would like to get a scope for it. So with that being said what would be a good scope and i would like to see some pictures of .22 pistols with scopes. Thanks Josh
 
Might consider an inexpensive Red Dot. I put a Tasco Aimpoint on my old Ruger Mk I after I watched my friends wearing out PDs in WY this year with a scoped Browning Buck Mark and a S & W 617 6".

I chose a Red Dot because I am old[eyes get that way too] and had trouble getting fast sight picture using their pistols from field positions such as off-hood, window or side mirrors...bifocals and field of view issues got me. I was able to score hits on bowling pins at 100 yards from a BENCH with my set up on a fairly consistent basis..seeing bullet strikes on the berm made for fast corrections.

Both my hunting partners are younger guys and did well to >80 yards and as mentioned seeing bullet strikes on misses especially on moving dogs is a big help.

IMHO, anyone that doesn't take a scoped or red dot rimfire handgun on a PD shoot may be missing out on fun.
 
I have a Ruger Blackhawk w/2x Leupold. I found any more than 2-3 power is too hard to hold steady without a rest.

Given the range of a 22 rimfire, I would not use any more than 2x.

Also you need a scope that is eye reliefed for pistol.

Mine is an M8 2x LER.

Here is how I set up my S&W 22A.
It's a Millett Red Dot.
More fun than should be legal. They even come with rings.
