My sister is looking to get a .22 revolver shortly to plink with. Her other weapon is a model 60 Chief's Special, and she wants a .22 revolver to shoot targets. What she is considering is a Ruger SP101 with a 4 inch barrel, a S&W model 617 with a 4 inch barrel, or a model 317 kit gun with a 3 inch barrel. She asked me what I thought.
I have only a little experience in this. I shot a 617 with a longer barrel last weekend at a Women on Target event. I didn't really care for it because it was too heavy (45 oz, I think) and the trigger pull, double action was nearly impossible. We went to a local gun store and fondled a Ruger in a 3 inch model. No kit guns were available. I am sort of coordinating this for her. She lives about an hour away, but buys here, because we have a place where we can get nice prices.
Any advice you can give would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
