Erma TP22...
I have the RX22, the slightly larger version that's a clone of the PPK. Bought new in 1985 and used hard. Looks like hammered hell now, but it still works as long as it's kept clean and oiled sparingly so none gets on the ammo.
For that matter, I have a Jennings J22 that I "rescued" from a gun buyback. Guy who had it was going to turn it in for a $35 gift card because it wouldn't work. I gave him $35 cash, stripped it and cleaned it good, which he had apparently never done- gun felt like it was full of sand. Hasn't missed a beat since as long as it's fed good ammo and cleaned every 50 rounds. .22s are nasty at best, and the shorter the barrel the quicker they get full of primer residue and unburned powder crud. That stuff will stop one in short order.
The new Walther PPK/S .22 looks interesting.
