Need some help from you fine folks.
I purchased a Ruger SP101 in 22LR that was the most inaccurate revolver I have ever owned. My LGS was gracious enough to give me full credit when I took it back the next day and I traded it back in for a S&W 642 and a Ruger LCP for my wife to carry. I am not kidding you when I say that this revolver could not shoot an 18 inch group at 15 to 25 yards with four different brands of ammo. My N.A.A. mini revolver in 22 LR shoots better than the $500 Ruger SP101 in 22 did.
Anyway to my point, I am going another direction and can't decide between a J frame S&W Model 34 with a 4 inch barrel or a Model 17 or 18 with a 4 or 6 inch barrel. I wanted to get opinions from members of this forum. I need the revolver to be reasonably accurate out to 25 yards. Can the J frame model 34 revolvers with 4 inch barrels shoot anywhere near as good as the K frame model 17 and 18 revolvers ?
Thanks in advance for your input.
