.22LR revolvers?

[blumhagen]

Haven't seen that much for .22 revolvers. Looking for something to shoot cheaply even though I know the gun probably won't be cheap. What are my options?

Ruger has a few different models out there... fairly common and not too expensive, at least compared to some.

Had a smith and wesson 617, beautiful. Also check out Alfa Proj or GP100.

 

[TT1900]

S&W 17 or 617.

S&W 17 or 617.

Colt Officer's Models come up on the EE. Deadly accurate and cheaper than any of the new offerings.

I'll second the S&W 617. Beautiful gun. not cheap. But worth it for a lifetime of shooting.

Look for a good trigger. I know most Rugers have a 20lb gritty double action. That why so many are up for sale. Smiths are better. Not sure about others. I much prefer my Ruger Mark 3 semi auto.

I like my Ruger SP 101, S&W 63, and H&R Sportsman .22s, S&W 2206, and Ruger Mk II.
By the time you buy a S&W K17 you could probably buy a Ruger Mk II very dependable.

I carried a H Schmidt for a few years when I lived in Michigan, for no other reason than it was gifted to me by my Dad. I wore it everywhere. Even Canada, turns out when a small city police officer sees it on your belt in SW Ontario, they are less than impressed. I learned a lot about Canadian firearm laws that day.

There's one on an auction site in Ft Erie On. I've been eyeing its only at $300 now. Be nice to have a Colt in the safe and doubt I'd justify a snake series right now.
I had a Ruger Sp 101 super accurate and ran great. Only downside was the tiny factory grips

Have had a Colt Officers Model for over 50 years. Still shoots great. One thing about .22s, A well made one will outlast you if not abused. Stay away from the cheap zhit.

S&W 17 or 617.

Don't have ton of experience with different handguns and triggers, but the trigger on my S& W 17-2 is very nice.

I had a Colt Officers Model Match. Didn't find it anything to write home about and sold it. My Smiths (17 and 617) work just fine for me.

hehe

i have 2 of those and im surprised you carried that gun, ive always found it...... less than ideal.

 

[Pyd]

Can't argue that. I just did because Dad gave it to me. It was more about pride than concern.

I have 2 Colts ( Officers Model Match and Target) and a Smith K-22. All from the EE and all good options

I just pick up a heritage rough rider saa for 299 shipped to my door from prophet river

 

[Nevada Smith]

Recently I bought a Chiappa SAA 1873 en 22 LR with a 5.5" barrell, espec ially as a shooting session warm-up revolver.
And I'm happy with that choice, kinda plinking revolver.

Another vote for Smith and Wesson. Either 617 or 17.
