Thanks Hammerdown. I'm feelin' a little better about passing on that one.
When I find the right K-22/Model 17, it will be my 5th Smith revolver
(I like 'em!). Don't have one (S&W) in .22LR.
5 screw or newer 17??
There's a local dealer who has a 5 screw K-22 that's worn a bit more than Radjxf's K-22 from what I can see from that picture.
The one I'm looking at has more scratches, and barrel bluing wear, plus the cylinder wear is greater. This dealer wants $450. I told him I was...
Can't buy the first one in MA (due to FS, bayo lug).
We have a permanent ban on evil features.
Now, the 2nd one with plain muzzle (or add a fixed permanent brake) is legal in MA, with 10 rounder of course.
Government Profile post ban may be my next upper. I'm not really a fan of the HBAR.
I was shopping for a 3953 some time ago, couldn't find any local, so I picked up a 3913, pre-TSW. If I had found the 3953 first, I would be carrying that.
I'm happy with the 3913; it's been back to the factory for a Safety Insp. & tuning.
Sounds like a great find!
The Hi-Powers I've seen around here are either priced at $799, $1000 and up, or the "deals" at $599 are rusty & pitted.
(I miss my HP; sold it 2 yrs back...)
Thanks for sharing your experiences with this pistol. I read good and bad (bad with lots of details), prior to buying my Warthog. I selected it anyways.
I have had no issues so far with the Blazer 230gr ball and Golden Saber 185. I'm going to try some HS 185's next. And yes, after each range...
Well... I looked at two Paras today.
A Carry and the Warthog.
The Warthog came home with me. Though I really like the LDA, I wanted another 1911 type, and the Carry just seemed very heavy (being steel vs. alloy).
Looking for input on lens color.
I'm going to use these primarily with a red dot for indoor Bullseye matches.
Indoors with irons on occasion.
Secondary is outdoor pistol & rifle.
Future is Trap (someday I'll get around to that game).
So, indoors with Ultra Dot is my first goal for lens...
