Alrighty I did a lot of searches and I know the single six is king when it comes to .22 revolvers. Its what I would like to get but I'm on a tight budget, and my intended use is a little different than most. So see what you guys think of this.
I'm wanting a handgun I can shoot around home. I actually thought quite a bit about an air pistol, due to noise and range. I got to looking at it, and for the cost of a gun, and ammo, I might as well shoot a .22 with CB's. I can set up for this easily and safely. I could shoot .22LR if I wanted but noise gets to be an issue, don't want to bother anyone.
I also would like to be able to use it to dispatch varmints in my trap once in awhile. Would be alot easier on the trap than my 9mm So my requirements so far are that it handles .22 L and .22LR. Figure that means a revolver, thats cool have been wanting one for awhile anyway.
Ability to shoot .22 mag would just be a fun factor for the rare occasions when I have time to go somewhere and shoot more powerful stuff. Maybe dispatch a varmint here and there as well. Not a necessity by any means.
So since I'm on a tight budget (college student ),plan on using low power loads 90% of the time, and don't absolutely have to be able to shoot the mags. I'm wondering if I really have to spring for the single six(have to see what they're going for around here now anyhow, not sure I can afford one anyway).
A local store has heritage rough riders on sale for $139 with both cylinders and a display box right now. I have read a lot of bad, and a lot of decent reviews on these and I'm thinking that if it would hold together it would fit the bill pretty well, but the horror stories have me looking for something else. I haven't seen them in person yet though to have any opinion on them.
I did get to look at the EAA bounty hunter the other day. Could get one for around $200. A quick look over made it seem pretty decent. It was a nice size and comfortable in my hand. This seems to fit my requirements pretty well. Wondering what the concensus on these is now. Reviews varied widely in the past, anything changed?
Another option is to get a taurus or something, that only handles .22S, L ,LR . I don't know what all is available around here, but judging by MSRP's , I could go this route cheaper than a new Ruger.
I'd be open to something used too, but hesitate since I'm not overly knowledgeable on condition, and fair pricing.
So what would you recommend? Thanks for any ideas
