What is your #1 .22 revolver?

[Stopsign32v]

If you could name one as the most fun to shoot what would it be?

[imashooter2]

S&W 617, 6 inch 10 shot.

G'day from Downunder [smilie=s:

G'day , my favorite .22 revolver is my S&W model 17 with a 4 inch barrel and target trigger and hammer I just love it .

Regards Paul. :-)

[tazman]

It is a tossup between my 6 inch 17 and my 6 inch 617. Both shoot extremely well.

[Bad Ass Wallace]

Hands down, my Ruger single 6!

[StuBach]

For revolver, there’s nothing that compares to a SW 17 6”with hogue grip in my opinion. They are just great shooters and are fun for experienced shooter and perfect for teaching new shooters alike. Been shooting mine since Dad taught me with it when I was a boy and now I teach people with it.

Outside of revolvers though, the Ruger Mark IV Hunter SS is a pretty amazing shooter too. Wife’s anniversary present to me last year and it’s a tack driver too. Ends up being a toss up now for which 22 handgun I take anymore between these two.

Honorable mentions 50s era Buffalo 22 revolvers are fun just cause of how cheap they are but not great firearms, Ruger Standard Red Eagle, Ruger Mark I Bull Barrel (as good as MK IV but not as “cool” looking), Buckmark. All have their place and are fun to shoot but the 17 is definitely King of my 22 handguns.

[John Boy]

Two …
* Ruger convertible Single Six, old model
* Ruger Mark IV Target

[Jack Stanley]

My choice , without a doubt is the S&W model 18 or a model 17 from the same era . All that is dependent on what barrel length you like .

Jack

[rking22]

Race between my M18 and Bearcat. Different horses for different courses, but both make me smile.

[Shepherd2]

It's hard for me to decide. I have a S&W Model 17 with a 6 inch barrel and another 17 with an 8 3/8 inch barrel and target hammer and trigger. I try to give them equal time. Some days I take both to the range.

[starnbar]

Me Colt diamondback action job by Jim Fish had it for over 35 years.

[AZ Pete]

Model 18, and Mk IV. But, my K-22 Nd MK I are close seconds.

[fivegunner]

I have a bunch of .22 handguns, the ones I like the best is Ruger single 6!! I have 5 of them and looking for more!

[1006]

Not the SP101 that I have. Years ago I had a 617 that was very accurate.

[Texas by God]

The 5-1/2" Single Six that I gave to my son, and the H&R model 999 top break that I gave to my wife are too much fun. I'm enjoying the Ruger Wrangler lately- not fancy but fun and accurate enough to fill the skillet.
There's a Single Ten here too- but I haven't even fired it. I ought to break it out if it's cool this evening.

[Pressman]

Hands down, it's the 1959 S&W Model 17, 4" barrel. It's also the only .22 handgun I own.:(

[roysha]

My favorite is a pre-17 K-22 5 screw 6" . Next is a 617 8 3/8" 6 shot.

[Outpost75]

1966 Colt Cobra 3"

[ShooterAZ]

My absolute funnest to shoot is a 1964 vintage Super Single Six Convertible (adjustable sights). It's been a dependable and accurate companion for lots and lots of years. I literally take it everywhere I go.

[dverna]

The only .22 revolver I own is a Ruger Single Six...so it must be my favorite.

Cannot see buying a better revolver for shooting .22's. I do not hunt with a revolver so I am looking at finding a good quality PCP for pistol plinking. Much less costly to shoot and shooting spinner targets anyway.

[MFGordon]

My favorite 22 revolver is my Smith & Wesson Model 34 Kitgun with a four inch barrel that I bought new on 1981. I have shot around 80,000 round through it and it only seems to shoot better with time. The double action trigger pull is silky smooth and shoots about the same if I were shooting single action. It's only quirk is that in order avoid leading it must shoot waxy lubed bullets.

[pietro]

It's a tossup between my Colt Frontier Scout, my Ruger Bearcat, and my Ruger Magnum-only Single Six.

[2A-Jay]

My personal Favorite was my H&R 929 I used it on the ranch as my Rattler gun, Bird shot out of that little Snubby was hard to beat.

[sharps4590]

I only have one but it would be my favorite, a 1947 K-22, 6 inch. All the others got sold or traded as incomparable.

Smith 63. The K-frames have their place, but if you have to teach women & kids, the 4" barrel and target sights on the J-frame are AWESOME! Pretty much couldn't NOT buy this one.

[GhostHawk]

A year ago I let my daughter talk me out of my old Heritage Rough Rider 5 5/8ths" convertable .22lr or .22wmr.

Well I was able to replace it with a similar Heritage only with adjustable sights.

Now I have a Ruger NM Single six in .32H&Rmag which I dearly love. But a .22 it is not.

I also have a pair of Bond Arms revolvers in .22wmr but while they are small and easy to hide, they are not as much fun to shoot as the Heritage.

[beltfed]

MY Smith-Wesson Pre-model 18, 5 screw, full target-orig 4" and have a fitted 8 3/8" barrel for it , too, for formal target shooting
Was a winner for me back in days of handgun Silhouette

[Wild Bill 7]

My only 22 revolver is a S&W model 17-5. Very accurate a on clay pigeons out to 30 yards. It’s so fun to plink with it.

[Mk42gunner]

My favorite .22 revolver was a Colt New Frontier Buntline Special (7½" barrel, adj sights) that I foolishly let get away from me 30+ years ago. It would outshoot some rifles.

My currently owned favorite is a 1953 S&W K22. Although it is heavier than a field .22 needs to be.

I wouldn't mind having a 4" Model 63 like Bigslug showed in his post.

I never really warmed up to the Ruger Single Six, it seems just a touch too big in .22. The exact same gun in .32 H&R is just about perfect.

Robert

[Pete44mag]

Have several .22's, my go to favorite is the S&W model 617 with a 4" barrel. At real tack driver and good to teach new shooters.

[stubshaft]

5 1/2" Single Six.

[darne]

Colt Officer's Model Match made in 1953.

[JoeJames]

Another vote for the S&W Model 63 4" kitgun. I've had it for 30 something years. Carried it for rabbit hunting, squirrel hunting, and creek fishing.

287297

[Butzbach]

I only have one and it is not my favorite anything. S&W 317 with the 2” barrel. If I shoot strings at a moderate pace it will lock up on me before I’m through a box. Have to wait for it to cool to open the cylinder.

[BigAlofPa.]

Hmmm i like all if mine. Tough call. If i had to pick one. It would be my Ruger single six. Because it's better quality.

My one and only 22 revolver is a Dan Wesson purchased new about 30 to 35 years ago maybe more. It has a very good trigger both SA and DA.

Colt Peacemaker .22 - 6" bbl. Highly accurate with .22Mags too.
Also fond of Ruger Single-Six - 6 1/2" bbl .22Mag, later fitted with .22LR cylinder.
And Super Single-Six Convertible - 5 1/2" bbl.

[Paf]

Hard to limit to just one .22 revolver. I do like my Ruger single sixes (one in 9.5 inch and the other in 5.5 inch). Of course I cannot forget the S&W models ( one 63 and the other an 18). Finally, an H&R model 999 (just a fun pistol to shoot!). They are all my favorites!

[pworley1]

My old Colt Police Positive target.

[high standard 40]

Since I only have one 22LR revolver, I'd have to say my favorite is a Ruger Single Six.

[drjjpdc]

Ruger Single Six Convertible 5 1/2"; S&W Model 17 8 3/8"

[murf205]

For me it is my 67 yr old K-22. It is one of the most accurate revolvers I ever owned or shot, and it actually shoots right along with my son's Ruger 5 1/2" target auto.

[blackpowder man]

Another 1953 Smith & Wesson K22 Masterpiece. I let a Dan Wesson go some years ago that I should have kept.

[rintinglen]

Which is your favorite child?287338287339
I can't decide between the Colt Officer's Model Match (1928-on the left of it's 38 brother) or the S&W M-17 (1974). Both are superbly accurate, but the Smith has a wonderful double action, courtesy of 40,000 plus rounds of K-mart, Wards and latterly Walmart cheapy bulk 22's. The single action of the Colt is slightly better.

I also have a S&W M-63 that rates very high, and I had an old Ruger Single six that was just like The First Revolver I ever fired.

But truth to tell, my favorite 22's are the old Colt's Woodsman guns. I have three pre-war, one Target model from 1951 and a Huntsman from the late 60's. Which is my favorite depends on which I'm shooting that day.

[robertbank]

My favorite 22 revolver is my Smith & Wesson Model 34 Kitgun with a four inch barrel that I bought new on 1981. I have shot around 80,000 round through it and it only seems to shoot better with time. The double action trigger pull is silky smooth and shoots about the same if I were shooting single action. It's only quirk is that in order avoid leading it must shoot way lubed bullets.

I am not sure I would kill for one of those but pillage and burn, probably. The 4" guns are prohib up here but if there ever was a revolver that would find it's way into my engine compartment as I crossed our border it would have to be it.

I do have a Riger SP-01 in .22lr with a 4.25" barrel so maybe pillage and burn are not on the table. The SP-01 is close to the Kit gun in size. Shooting the Ruger SA wirks as well as an off the chart DA trigger pull can. I have to investigate a lighter main spring. :>)

Bob, can you pack that Ruger while hiking or just woods walking, legally? That would make a great little grouse gun.

[atr]

For accuracy certainly my 50's vintage S&W K-22
For just kicking around in the woods it would be my late 60s vintage Ruger #1 semi-auto

The best of both worlds then is my Browning Medalist

[Gewehr-Guy]

Maybe not the most accurate .22, but my favorite is the Ruger Bearcat. A sweet little jewel, but not delicate. Also love the Smith & Wesson 34 and my old Charter Pathfinder.

[robertbank]

Bob, can you pack that Ruger while hiking or just woods walking, legally? That would make a great little grouse gun.

No, not legally. I could get a Wilderness Permit but that involves .357mag as a minimum cartridge. Trudeau is determined to keep us safe. Unfortunately, there is nobody to protect us from him! We have an election call in the offing so with some luck maybe we can send him packing. Hope springs eternal.

Bob
ps Yes you are right the SP-01 in .22lr do../would make an excellent Grouse gun.

[echo154]

I have a SW model 34 4". Love it!

[tward]

Ruger SS Bearcat and a 6.5 in heritage arms. Tim

[Eddie Southgate]

Of the .22 revolvers I have owned I'd say the short barrel version of the Colt New Frontier was the best . Current gun is a Smith & Wesson Kit Gun .

[joatmon]

My 34-1 gets the nod here, I did put a set of larger grips on it for better control.

[Thundarstick]

A Ruger Bisley .22 I've had since I was old enough to purchase a hand gun, and a Smith & Wesson 617 with a 4 inch barrel. Both are track drivers capable of shooting better than I'm able to utilize. It just depends if I'm plinking or working on my double action form, so I can't rank one above the other.

[waylonrocks]

I would also vote for the S&W 617 with the 4 inch barrel. My old Bearcat is a close second but the fixed sights make it a bit more challenging! I get to enjoy the Ruger GP100, Single Ten, and Single Six Colorado Centennial model that my sons have, so I consider myself rather spoiled!

[fastdadio]

My Dan Wesson. It's also my only .22 revolver. The rest are High Standards or Colt.

[FergusonTO35]

I'm really hoping to get one of the new 8 shot SP-101's here soon. I know they have an awful trigger pull, but are they good otherwise? It would be a great understudy for my .38's.

[tja6435]

Ruger Wrangler.

My other .22lr revolver is a Taurus 94, trigger so heavy that it makes it terrible to shoot. So it just sits.

[robertbank]

Mine has been great, ignoring the trigger pull. It will improve overtime. If you can't find a S&W Model 63 Kit gun the Ruger is a VG 2nd choice.

[beezapilot]

I've a Colt Official Police that can behead a hopping flea and is smooth as a cashmere codpiece.

[GooseGestapo]

#1. S&W Model 617 HB. I use for off season PPC practice. I replaced the front and rear sight blades to allow a 50yd “neck-hold”. That is until .22lr became “unobtanium”.

#2. S&W Mod 34 2” Kit Gun. With good ammo, easily THE most accurate S&W I own. In Wyoming in 2009 I nailed a rough grouse through the throat at 41yds. Buddy I was hunting with was working part time at a resort restaurant as a sous-chef. He cooked the Roughed Grouse and two Blue grouse I’d shot with the 617. Best wild fowl I’ve ever eaten!

#3. Heritage Arms .22/.22wrm convertible w6”bbl/adjustable sights. Not as accurate as S&W’s but fun to shoot! Decent trigger and usable accuracy. I could by 5 for what an S&W costs. It’s now my carry along beater... weights little more than the little M34.

#4. Ruger RS-6”. No explanation needed. It shoots and feeds any standard or high velocity ammo. Sight was drifted decades ago to hit POA/POI.

"Fun to shoot with" answers with a 4 5/8" barreled Colt Frontier Scout (1968 vintage) .22 with stag grips! Re highest score on target goes to my six shot S&W 617 with 6" barrel, TT, & TH. But, just for a shoot-the-can at camp... that Colt pretty much seems to be the revolver I grab for.

[shtur]

Another vote for the S&W model 63 with 4 inch barrel. I bought mine new in 1978, then sold it to my friend's brother. He let me buy it back. It has taken many grouse and rabbits. It also shoots very small groups on paper. I only shoot standard velocity ammo through it. I have widened the rear sight so I can see the front sight clearly again, which helps tremendously in aiming.

[5614estell]

1953 22/32 kit gun. Improved I frame semi target hammer&trigger, 4" barrel. Shoots as good or better than my M17-2

[bedbugbilly]

I have owned a number of 22 revolvers over the years but not what I would call "expensive" models.

Right now, the only one I have is a Vintage 1970s Ruger Super Bearcat. I kept it because of the size and it's about the only handgun that I can get my wife to shoot.

My primary use for a 22 revolver was for taking care of critters on the farm and I like a revolver as it will take anything from a CB cap thru a long trifle. Two that I had were an H & R and a Heritage RR - both did the job but certainly not like a S & W, etc.

I have several semi-autos but with shortages/high 22 ammo prices, I just don't shoot them. If I could find a decent Ruger single six at a fair price, I would snap it up as I have always wanted one.

You said most fun not most accurate so My Single Six with the 22LR and Mag cylinders is hands down the funnest.

My 4" 617 has been my go to for a very long time. I bet I would like a 6" as well, but have no experience. I've had a number of ruger .22 revolvers and never got what I thought was good accuracy. They never seem to stay around for too long.

S&W 17 6" is the most fun revolver but I really prefer one of my 3 Ruger MKI Target pistols.

[beagle74]

This post was originally about revolvers, but since you mentioned the Ruger MK pistols, I had a MKII with a bull barrel, which was absolutely the most accurate gun I've ever seen. It shot like a laser. Too heavy to carry though, a great range gun.

I have a pair of Ruger Mk III 22/45's, his and hers. Both wear cheap truglo Red Dots.
Both will outshoot any and all of my other .22's.

I have seen my wife put 10 into a pop bottle cap size circle with none touching the edges in under 7 seconds.
Mine will do the same only even faster. With the .22lr shortage and higher prices both are staying home for now. And this was about revolvers.

While the Mk III's are more accurate they are IMO not as much fun as the Heritage RR 6" with adjustable sights. With .22mags this will turn out very acceptable groups at 21 feet. And is just plain a hoot to shoot.

[Thunder Stick]

My one and only .22 rimfire revolver. A bronze Ruger Wrangler that I picked up last month. I've only had it to the range once and it was shooting a little low and left. Probably need to work on my trigger finger placement.

[Der Gebirgsjager]

Really a great thread! Lots of good choices. So far, it seems, the S&W 17 and Ruger Single Six are in the majority. I've got a Mod. 17, great gun, highly accurate. I've also got a Taurus Mod. 96 that is very much like the S&W (probably couldn't tell them apart in the dark) that is slightly more accurate than the Smith. Both are 6". But I heard someone mention the word "fun", and I have one I haven't seen anyone else mention yet, close to the Ruger Single Six idea, an Italian Stallion. Of course it's nickname is Sylvester. It shoots apple sized (large apple) groups at 25 yds., but the operational word here was "fun".
289170

I see some votes for the Ruger Bearcat as well. Very nice revolver. Very well made. Sort of expensive now, but what isn't? I bought one each for each of my granddaughters as being a "good to learn on" handgun.

DG

[waylonrocks]

The three revolvers that I have are a 4 inch Smith 617, a 1960's Ruger Bearcat, and a 1976 Ruger Single Six Colorado Centennial. I would rate the 617 as the most fun by a smidgeon simply for the ease of extracting the empties. The extra 4 rounds in the 10 shot cylinder vs six in the other two is also a nice bonus! But you can't go wrong with any quality 22 revolver! Everyone needs at least one!!

[uscra112]

Best, most accurate .22 by far is an old but near mint S&W 17. But I rarely take it out. The one I shoot the most is a knockabout Iver Johnson "Target" model, which lives near the kitchen door for close-in defense against raccoons and opossums. So which is really my favorite?

Geez, it's been a Single Six Convertible for more than 40 years, but two years ago I found a M-18 Smith in LNIB for $400. That gun's become a regular for walking the dog and general around the farm totin'. And it's not ammunition sensitive...good grouping with CCI MiniMags, Federal Auto-Match, and even Remington Golden HP's.

But the story continues: my local 5-Star Pawn had a 6" bbl'd New Frontier Colt SAA in the case that I got for $600. The longer bbl. doesn't carry as well as the shorter Smith, but it's got a great trigger and is actually more accurate with the Magnum cylinder installed. It's my new, BFF...at least for this week!

Smith & Wesson 6" Model 17. I cut my learning to shoot double action teeth on one. I haven't a clue how many rounds I fired through it, but it was many 1,000's. Sadly, I parted ways with it after several good years together. I never could gather up enough money back then to afford the luxury of buying another. Finally, life started looking up and several years back I picked up a Pre 17 K-22 5 screw. It sure brings back sweet memories every time I take it out shooting.

My most accurate .22 revolver is a Colt Diamondback, 4" blue with the original stocks on it. It always prints where ever the sights are looking. Got it by trading off a '98 Mauser I had that had been re-barreled (into a .243), re-blued and aftermarket stock and scope installed (bought it in this condition). The owner of the revolver wanted my rifle and I wanted his revolver. We traded even.

My handiest .22 revolver is a S&W model 43 Airweight Kit Gun, aluminum frame and cylinder. While chambered for .22 Long Rifle it does not like high velocity ammo and sticks fired cases in the chambers. I gladly fire standard velocity ammo in it. It is so light it is very easy to forget that it is on my hip. This one also produces tight groups, like the Diamondback above.

A Ruger Mk II. I haven't had a .22 actual revolver in decades. I want one, though! Keep looking at the one that gets advertised for $119, and looks like a SAA Colt .45, but has a safety next to the hammer spur. Mama says I have enough guns.

My DW .22 I used to shoot in IHMSA competition. The one I shoot now is my S&W 617

[John Guedry]

My single 6. Five and a half in. barrel.

[brassrat]

Have only owned one. Dan Wesson at Cabelas a few yrs back. Had to get it. What an overpriced junker. The sights were cockeyed. The latch was loose. The chambers were extremely rough and it shot around six inch groups off a rest at 50' I disassembled and fixed what I could and set to carefully remove the giant boring ridges that the factory ignored. This went on for awhile but the chamber mouths are a lot smoother and although they are, close to oversized, they are all about the same size and the gun shoots around two inch groups and often has a few cylinders shoot dead on. I expected more from my first DW .22 ever seen.

I have not had good luck with .22 revolvers accuracy wise. I'm sure some are. Try before you buy.

[BadgerShooter]

That Korth is a beauty. I have had the opportunity to shoot a couple 357's. They are pretty awesome!

[FergusonTO35]

Only .22 revolver I have right now is a Wrangler, and it is an impressive $200.00 sixgun. Honestly, my meager skills couldn't take advantage of anything nicer so I'll stick with it. Planning to pick up one of the new birdshead grip versions too.

[David Lee Valdina]

Most fun gun. Stainless Ruger Convertible Single Six with the 6.5" barrel. I am 80 years old and it takes me back to being a kid with a love for cowboy guns. A close second would be the 4" S&W K-Frame Pre-Model 17. It had been sent back to the factory for the 4" barrel and I bought it with the letter from S&W attesting to that. It is the same as the Model 18, except it has the target front sight.

I was in my mid 20's before I became drawn to the handgun for both hunting and target shooting. Thanks to Skeeter Skeleton and Ed McGivern. I purchased a S&W Model 17 and started down the path serious double action and long distance shooting. I can't even begin to estimate the number of rounds I fired through that gun, but I will say it taught me more than any other handgun I've ever owned hands down. Sadly, I lost it due to a theft on night at my home years ago. I really couldn't afford another one for a good number of years, but life got better and I remedied that situation some 10 years back. I found a very clean Pre 17 and we've became good friends. My 68 year old eyes won't let me do what my earlier Model 17 would do over 40 years ago. The last time I had it out plinking a month or so back, I managed to roll 5 out of 6 various tin cans, rouge dirt clogs and rocks at respectable ranges from 10 to 25 yards.

My small bore Revolver Class silhouette gun for 30 years, that I kept when I retired from competition. It is my old, new model, Ruger NR-9. It has Packmeyer Signature grips and a trigger job. Other than those two legal mods, it is 100% stock. It is a great shooting single action revolver.

[missionary5155]

Ruling out the couple of S&W #1's we have there has only been one .22 revolver in our house. I think it is an H&R 999 with a 6 inch barrel. Only reason we have it was to help out the widow of a good friend who past on 20 years ago. My FIL "borrowed" it for years trying to hold down the raccoon issues.
When I want to use a .22 we have a 1st Model Ruger that gets put to use.

[one-eyed fat man]

The Colt Officers Model Match .22 is the best shooting .22 revolver, but I have an Iver Johnson Supershot Sealed Eight from 1938 more fun. It does not group quite as nicely as the Colt, but it acquits itself nicely in club matches sometimes besting guns that cost a lot more. The five inch bull barrel High Standard Citation is just plain scary accurate. In the mid-Eighties when small bore IHMSA matches were being held at French Range on Fort Knox it we tried it out on a lark. Even shooting cheap Winchester T22 it was capable of cleaning the course. It would hold its own competing in any class except revolver.

[Char-Gar]

Smith and Wesson Kit Gun

[budman5]

Kit gun here also. Shoots better than me !

[HawkEyeEarl]

My most used for anything I need of a 22 pistol, is an old ruger single six.

[John Guedry]

My Single Six and my Mk.4

[Scrounge]

My Ruger Mk II. I don't own a .22 revolver, though I'd like to have one. I've had the Mk II on and off for most of 40 years. Love it!

[Texas by God]

The Wrangler twins are fun even when dressed up....https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220421/d4840269161c524daff123f791bfcd9d.jpg

My only Colt .22 revolver is an old Trooper Mklll 6 inch with the satin nickel finish. I shot it a whole lot. But my favorite Colt .22s are my Woodsmans. But I might break down and get one of those 10 shot Smiths eventually. They look pretty sweet.

[nhithaca]

Never had a .22 revolver until recently; bought a Model 999 H&R (1954) and a Model 992 H&R (1949). Fun guns, but a little finicky with powder fouling & ammo choices. Just have to keep them clean and use the right ammo.
Have owned a MkII Ruger auto for years; 5.5" bull barrel with Volquartsen upgrades. Approximately 10,000 rounds through it. Shoots like a laser. Would stand on the frozen pond and shoot at the 18"x18" steel plate across the ice @ roughly 200 yards and then step back and shoot the empty cases laying around me on the ice just for fun. Burned a lot of ammo that way.

[nhithaca]

922 not 992, sorry

[MarkP]

Tough choice either S&W M17 6" mfg'd 1960. Pre M 18 or a 317. The 317 is great for teaching new shooters due to its light weight.

[BRatigan]

I used to have a Single Six but sold it to my brother. It was a fine shooting revolver. My forever go to is my S&W Model 41 with 5 inch bull barrel. My bullseye gun. Uncanny accuracy and smooth as butter.

[Dtdk]

Where is the Dan Wesson love?

[Goldstar225]

My 1957 K-22 that I recently bought to replace one I foolishly traded away in the 80's. I do enjoy fondling and shooting my wife's 4 5/8" single six.

[schutzen-jager]

old model super bearcat -

[threett1]

My best therefore the most enjoyable a 1937 Colt Officer Model. It be a fine looking lady and as accurate as I can be.

[Vopie]

Colt Officers Model Match, smoooth, and breaks like glass!

[FrankJD]

Ruger LCR22 w/Hogue green laser grips and loaded with Federal Punch.

Hands down, my Ruger single 6! Hard to beat that one for the price.

[tejano]

Andyd, that Korth is a beauty indeed!

[atr]

S&W k-22

[olafhardt]

My 3"barreled S&W model 317.

[Char-Gar]

My stainless Smith and Wesson Kit Gun does it for me. It has the mechanical accuracy of the larger and heavier K-22, but is a bit harder to shoot well, due to it smaller size and weight.

[johniv]

The one I shoot most is a S&W M34. I carry a J frame .38 everyday, and use the .22 for left hand practice. The most fun? That would be a Colt MT Woodsman, 4”.

I could barely see it at twenty feet but I nicked it once. Fun stuff.

For looks, Korth 30series but it does not shoot better than my favorite 24 series. After I got the first Korth I gave the Colt OMM to my son and have shot the 1952 vintage K-22 maybe twice.

Ruger single six.

[fecmech]

Had this for a long time and as my old eyes have trouble with open sights I put a dot on it. I glued (using aircraft proseal sealant) a piece of 3/8 .22 rail on to mount the sight. I can remove the rail and sealant at anytime and put the rear sight on, works great.

[gc45]

For 22Lr; the 617, 17 and The Outdoorsman my Grandfather gave me long ago. In CF revolver I like the Ruger Flat top 44 Special..In Autos I like my Dan Wesson Valor 9mm Commander.

[wksimple]

Colt Officer's Model Match made in 1953.

My choice exactly! My dad bought it in 1953 and I have enjoyed it since then. An amazing gun.
I also have its companion, a 1954 Colt 3 5 7. It was my duty weapon for many years.

[John Guedry]

My Ruger Single Six.

[trapper9260]

My Ruger single six , that is my also trap line gun . Yes it dose have a Mag cylinder.

[rustythread]

Back when I was just starting to shoot with a Smith model 15, my LGS talked me into a matching S & W Model 18. I'd then usually start a practice session with a box or two of .22s, then 50-100 rounds of .38 special. If I did my job right, tghat M18 would put them in the X riing all day.
