I have been saving my nickels and dimes and, I am thinking about buying a Freedom Arms model 97 .22, with a 4 1/4” barrel. I own a 4 3/4” 97 in .44 special and love it and a 6” 454. I know it would be to best .22 revolver, that could be had. Is there any bad things about a model 97 .22? Does anyone have experience with them? I have never had a problem with either of my centerfire Freedom arms. I shoot .22s now, more than anything else. I think I would love a Freedom Arms 97 .22. I have leather for it already. I love the look and feel of the 97. Especially the 4 1/4” barrel length. I guess I am trying to justify such an expensive .22, to myself. I can afford it. I believe Freedom Arms revolvers are worth what they cost, and I know there is really no need in any firearm, if you own the basics, other than pride in owning. I have many other .22s, revolvers, simiautos, any type of rifle to be had. I just think a Freedom Arms model 97, 4 1/4” .22 would be the ultimate .22 to own. I posted a picture of the one I am considering, pulling the trigger on and buying. Is there any reason I shouldn’t?
