As others have opined, either the Model 17 or the Officer's Match. Both are great, classic revolvers that will never be seen again.

It does seem odd, at least to me, that the prices of used revolvers are going through the roof, yet more manufacturers aren't producing revelovers.
I'd presume they'd sell? Well, decisions to make.

There is an old saying, "Good, cheap and fast. Pick any two."
A young lady said that to me and I said, "I'll go with good and cheap, Honey, and you take as looooooong as you like."

Go for a Korth.
I know it is a controvesially discussed maker but it is the best built handgun I have ever owned. I would prefer not the actual series (which is the successor of the original Companie Korth) but the Model 1969, which have been made when Mr. Korth was still alive and running his company in the late 1960s/early 1970s. This Model has a SA trigger which can be adjusted and also the DA which can be adjusted. In Germany they can be found pretty often for reasonable prices (appr. 600,- to 800,- Dollars) at egun (where I also bought my Model 1969 used).
Good luck
uwe from Germany
BTW. Living close to Germany finding a Korth should be no problem ;-)

Well, lessee, would I want a Korth or a new Toyota Tundra....
Well, I can't drive the Korth to work.

Believe me in Europe they are no bargain either. Though I suppose a lot of gun for the money can mean you pay a lotta money...
Agree with the Colt selection
with the exception of the scout series. While the scouts are fun guns, they don't have the finish of the double actions. Smiths are also fine but I have little trigger time with them. No one has suggested the H&R 999? Is it also more of a fun gun than a quality shooter? I don't have one but a break open 9 shot sure seems like fun.

Would happily have one but don't know of one for sale I'm afraid!

needs more ammo
H&R 999s aren't found everywhere in the U.S. anymore and I'd bet they'd be found even less in Switzerland.
They are fun shooters though!

The only .22 handguns I have are revolvers...two Colts and a Charter Arms. For whatever reason the Charter Arms Pathfinder is my favorite to shoot...weird. 
Cocked and Locked, What length barrel is on the new frontier? That is a nice looking set of revolvers! Do you have both cylinder for the Colt N.F. and if you do, how well do you like the .22 mag performance in that pistol with that barrel length? I have a Colt N.F. and tend to use the .22lr cylinder the most. I have no photos of that pistol, but after seeing your photo I'll have to take some of mine.

I don't remember the exact measurement of the N-F barrel and its in the safe. I'll try to snag time to measure it tomorrow. It's something over 4" but less than 5".
Nope...don't have the .22 mag cylinder.
Thanks for the comments!

So I have heard, and the 9 shot capacity looks nifty as well...
Anyway, will go to LGS this weekend and fondle a firearm or 2. I nominally "Need" some .22 ammo as I've put a fair bit through the Woodsman this week, so that is why I'm going to the gunsmiths... (at least, that is what I tell the rational part of my brain...)
