A while back, a young lady asked me to take her to the range and teach her how to shoot. The smallest caliber hand gun I owned was a .38 and a 9mm so that's what we shot. It didn't go well. She was recoil sensitive and was disturbed by all the noise. Both of us were frustrated at the end of the hour. As a result, I have been looking for a K22 but up until last week, the search was fruitless. I came accross this M17-5 w/ aimpoint optic sight. It locks up tight and I don't believe it was used all that much. I got it for $500 out the door. I haven't shot it yet (hopefully today). I've never shot a gun w/optics and I'm not sure I'm going to like it all that much. Plus the fact that the added gear might intimidate a new shooter. Does S&W still make iron sights for the M17? I know they have a classic line including the 17. I tried calling them but the factory is closd until mid august.
