Hello:
I was wondering if anyone has a Tauras in .17 caliber with a 4" barrel in a revolver ? Are they accurate or not ? I have a chance to pick one up but want to hear the pluses and minuses. regards, Hammerdown.

The 17HMR or 17M2 are far more accurate than the 22WMR or 22LR. However, any 4" revolver has a sight radius problem. a 4" is more accurate than a snubbie and a 6" is more accurate than the 4", regardless of caliber.
