About half way down the page XT 22 Series. I never called them so don't know if they have in stock, but if you call, the Armscor web site says they are bringing out a 1911 in .22 WMR. A 1911 in .22 Magnum would be cool.

Now you need to get some nice grips and fiber optic sights.
Youre sure ?
Pretty sure. I've owned a Sig mosquito (crud), Ruger 22/45 (best of those I've owned), Sig 1911-22 (Ok), AMT Automag 2 (finicky), a PLR-22 (ok but huge). Most were choosy about ammo at some point. In my experience good revolvers are more reliable and more accurate. The only thing you give up is reload speed. With plinking I'm not in a hurry. Not 100% yet but getting close.
Then you should have started with: I pretty much didn't like any 22LR handgun I had. Are there any other?
The DA trigger pull on my S&W 17-3 is smooth and light and the SA is very light, clean and crisp.
I know it sounds corny but really even S&W doesn't make them as good as these older K frame .22s.
$600-$750 seems like a lot of $ for a used revolver but really for what you are getting it is a steal. Especially since they will not wear out and will appreciate in value as long as you take a little care of them.

I wanted unbiased opinions from you good folks, left it wide open. I posted a thread awhile ago about 9mm's and I mentioned I didn't like certain ones. The thread was clogged with people telling me my opinions on the ones I disliked were wrong.
I have owned the following:
Ruger MKIII Hunter
Ruger MKII Target
MKIII 22/45
Sig Mosquito
Walther P22
CZ Kadet
S&W MP22
G17 Advantage Arms Kit
Norinco M93
H&R 9 Shot revolver
and finally a Ruger SP101
Of all of these the only one I have kept is the Ruger SP101, and the ones I regret selling are the CZ Kadet and S&W MP22.
Truth be told the CZ Kadet is way overpriced, and the S&W MP 22 is a hell of a gun that in my testing was every bit as reliable as the CZ. The CZ was definitely more accurate though.
So in the end my vote for a revolver is the SP101, and for a semi would be either the CZ or the M&P 22.

just for my info, do you have the means to measure the trigger pull on the SP101 you own?
I found it pretty heavy and therefore not that accurate.
But it might have been a bad copy.
you can't get unbiased opinions in a country where getting a handgun is a chore in itself.
Uber, stick with the SW 17, the 617 is nice and the 10 round cylinder is very nice, but they are not made as well as the old 17. i sent 2 back of the 617's sights were crooked on both, timing off on one, brand new out of the box. The 17 will serve you well, hold its value, no matter what you pay and shoot every bit as accurate as you can. They are great pistol in every way. you will be the most happy with a nice sample of one. you will. Stop looking you have found the best, almost the best, the only better wheel gun would be the Korth.
