What is your favorite .22 revolver?

[MCgunner]

I've got a little Rossi M511 sportsman that's very accurate. It's all stainless j frame sized 4" with adjustables. I'm sorta partial to it.

 

[RugerMcMarlin]

McGunner, I'd like to see a picture of it.

H&R Model 999 "Sportsman"

I don't have one *yet* (money sufficient is now in the kitty, though, and I'm looking for an acceptable bargain), but the 617 has my eye. I wonder if by the time I find the perfect 617 (new? low miles?), Ruger will shock me by bringing out a comparable DA .22 ...

And hmm ... 617 in 4"? 6"? Wish I could get a discount for getting both!

Any accuracy diiference in the 6" vs. 4" 617's?

 

[Snowbandit]

Gee guys........... has anyone mentioned the K-frame Smith and Wesson yet? ;-)

I wonder if by the time I find the perfect 617 (new? low miles?), Ruger will shock me by bringing out a comparable DA .22 ...

I too wish Ruger would bring out a DA .22. Last week I got an e-mail alerting me to their new Single 10, though holding 10 rounds instead of just 6 still fails to make me crave a SA .22.

I gather there is very little demand for a DA .22, since the only current makers I can think of are S&W, Charter, and Taurus.

I want adjustable sights and actually like weight, so the fixed sight aluminum framed Charter is out of the running. I hold a pretty low view of Taurus quality, or lack thereof. Which only leaves the pricey S&W 617 that costs a small fortune.

I was also wondering about 4" vs 6", though my main concern was the balance and how it felt in hand.

Well, then, just to be different.

Dan Wesson 22. Big, heavy. Shoots like a laser.



Harrington & Richardson 999 Sportsman. I don't think I've ever shot it D/A though.



But I do like my Model 17.

McGunner, I'd like to see a picture of it.

 

[dickttx]

617-4, 4", 10 shot

BTW, been wondering, but didn't want to start a thread on it: How do you attach the full photo rather than the thumbnail?

 

[MCgunner]

Like this....

 

[MCgunner]

Well, you need to reduce the size of that pic to 640x480 first.

 

[RugerMcMarlin]

That lil Rossi is pretty cool. I went by it twice thinking it was a Smith 63.
I like those grips too, I have em on a couple of guns.

 

[dickttx]

MCgunner, you did that too quick for me. Don't know what you did.

 

[Steve C]

I'm joining many of the others who like the Colt OM in .22 LR the best.

Great gun -- mine is fully the equal of my Colt Woodsman.

 

[SwampWolf]

Either my S&W K-22 or Colt Officers Model.

Same here. And they're like my children-distinct and different in their own ways but never ask me to pick one over the other.

 

[chicharrones]

My only .22 revolver is a H&R 999 Sportsman, so I pick it as my favorite .22 revolver.

I like MCGunner's Rossi, too. It looks useful and fun.

 

[robctwo]

I have the 18-3



17-3



And 4" 617



I shoot the 17 best, "like" the 18 most and shoot the 617 more.

 

[Radagast]

S&W Model 18 here.

 

[warnerwh]

My favorite is my Dan Wesson. It's super accurate and built on the .357 frame so will last forever. I had a Smith 617 which is a close second. I'm not a big fan of Smith's due to their prices but was very impressed with the 617 I had.

 

[4v50 Gary]

I like the 4" bbl Colt Diamondback revolver.

 

[lefty1]

I bought a revolver in May from the Gun Show here in town. I love it! It's a Taurus 941 ultra-lite, 8 shot. I got tired of hand feeding the bullets into the cylinder so found a speedloader online and ordered it, and it works great! Thought I'd let you know about it.

I got the 8 shot ds-classic and the loading box that hold four rounds of bullets and extra bin of bullets.

 

[Ala Dan]

Smith & Wesson 4" model 18; followed closely by the same company's 6"
model 17~!!

 

[22-rimfire]

My favorite is a 4" Blue Colt Diamondback. I have pretty much stopped shooting my Colt and have migrated to S&W M17's and M18's in the last 5-years. However I really like my new S&W M63.
