My favorite handgun is my Smith & Wesson Model 617 .22 caliber revolver. I can't remember how long it's been in my inventory but it's the one gun I've kept for at least 20 years.
I like the feel and the fact that ammo is relatively cheap for it. I've got a stockpile of 50K rounds from before the pandemic and a few thousand more after so I'm good for ammo for a couple of years.
The trigger pull is the smoothest I can get it at this time. It's Double Action is right at 7.5 pounds and will pop even CCI Mini Mags with no troubles.
Single Action is a rediculous 1.5 pounds. It has an Apex Tactical Mass Drive Hammer. One of the first ones available and given to me by Scott and Randy, the owners.
I had to sell all my guns recently because I was moving into assisted living and they didn't allow guns. I hung onto the 617 until the last minute and we decided not to move.
I like the 10 shot capacity and I use DS-10 Speed Loaders for it when I shoot Steel Challenge Matches.
