Reccomend a 22LR revolver.

[CZB1962]

I want a 22LR handgun just for plinking. Looking for something fairly cheap but not junk and it seems like most of the not too expensive pistols have mixed reviews so I am leaning towards a revolver.

What are some good options?

Used High Standard Sentinel, used Ruger Bearcat or Single Six....If you get into the Smith and Wessons you are getting into the $500 plus range...H & R also made some solid reliable .22 revolvers that are still priced reasonably...I have got a High Standard Sentinel here in the shop for under $200 and it will be gone (probably) by the end of the day....22 Revolvers tend to go fast.....Folks love them...

Here I was all set to introduce you to the wonderful world of Smith&Wesson revolvers,then I looked at the pricing on a K-22 Masterpiece.I own one,and it is a great pistol for plinking....but not at $1000.00
Product: Model 17 Masterpiece

Good luck in your hunt.

You are looking for the .22 revolver at a good time. Have seen a lot of .22 back in stock with a little higher prices, so stock up.

Another vote for looking for a pre owend Ruger Single Six. They just have character and always a good market for them should you change your mind later.

I actually have a little stockpile of 22 now. I was lucky enough to get two bricks of Thunderbolts at WM for $20 each a few weeks ago. That along with some other that I had makes me want to get a handgun since all I have now are rifles.

I have a S&W 617 that is awesome, but definitely wasn't cheap. I love revolvers, but not a single action fan. I also found, after I paid big money for my 617, that there are various Taurus and Rossi models out there, and that speed loaders are available for them also. There are a variety of options, but you will have to search a bit deeper than just looking at whats on the gunshot shelf. Best of luck. If you ever get up my direction, you are welcome to try my 617, they don't go cheap, but when you shoot it, you will see the value.

I like the style of that one and it is cheap, especially with two cylinders.

How do you feel about the single 9s and 10s. I shot a H&R 9 shot that was very nice one time and it was nice to get 9 shots between reloads.

I picked up a 4 inch Taurus 9 shot revolver in a trade last year. Trigger is a little heavy but after 1,000 rounds, no problems. I had planned on using it in another trade but I think I'm going to hang on to it. Fun gun to shoot.

 

[coban]

I have the smith 617 and a Taurus 94. Both are fun guns to plink with. The smith has a much better double action trigger but there is not much difference in single action. The Taurus is much lighter and easier to pack.
I'm not to far from you and you would be welcome to try them out if you would like to see the differences.

 

[dhw9am]

I purchased a Rossi 22lr - eight shot revolver when they first came out, I think about two years ago. I have a least 3200 rounds through it, with NO problems except
a couple which were definitely ammo related. The trigger in double action, was hard when I first got it. It now is very smooth, and easy to keep your point of aim.
If someone would have told me that a Rossi would be on my list of guns I would never sell, I would have told them they were crazy.
I think I paid $333 plus tax for it.

I haven't shot them but they look appealing. Old school!

 

[pudly]

I also have a 9-shot H&R that I bought for under $200 at a 1500 a couple of years ago. It is my only revolver (wanted one in the collection), but it has been very reliable and has become one of my favorites.

^^^^^^ This. I have not fired one but was impressed with how it felt compared to my Ruger Single Six. For the price point I don't think you can beat it. IMHO a single action 22 is one of the best guns for introducing others to shooting. How can you go wrong? New for a $180 bucks and even on the Make Offer list.

I've got three single sixes in 22LR, 22 Mag, and 17HMR. All are great fun to shoot. I also have a Walther P22 that has performed flawlessly. However, the P22 likes the hi-velocity stuff.

Once you get the pistol / revolver bug. It effects you for life. Just ask Snapdragon about her ever growing collection of revolvers.

 

[Gluemanz28]

I have a stainless single six with six inch barrel. very accurate and a blast to shoot. It make the ammo last longer when you have to load and eject the cylinder.
