Is there a .17hmr pistol?

For a semi-automatic .17 HMR you are probably looking at (a) Volquartsen Custom's Cheetah pistol :) (b) Excel Arms Accelerator pistol ;) (c) some other conversion kits....:yingyang:
 
I think the reason you will not see any/ many 17 HMR handguns out there is that it is a relatively expensive round to shoot when you compare it to a .22 handgun or conversion kit. The expense of the round keeps it from becoming more popular in handguns.

Why do you keep babbling about how expensive the HMR is and comparing it to a 22lr? :confused: This may be a hard concept for you top understand, but not everyone cares what ammo costs! No really! Some people understand that shooting costs a few bucks and they don't care!

Perhaps you should look into a BB gun. You can get lots of shooting for the same price as 50rnds of that uber expensive 22lr.........

LOL


I was not trying to sound like an ammo nazi! Forgive me! :p

As to looking into a BB gun, I skipped that and went to .177 pellet guns... then 30-06. ;) I have no problems blasing $100 of ammo every Saturday at my range.


I was merely stating that the cost of the round over a .22 is likely the reason not very many manufacturers are making any.

I own two 17 HMR rifles, so I do not mind paying a little extra for the round, but it is the same deal with rifles, there are not nearly as many 17 HMR's as .22's, likely due to cost of ammunition and a smaller market. R&D costs big bucks to change the chambering of a gun to a relatively new round. Seems reasonable to me, no?


Meh. Thats my .02
