If so, do you like it? Shoot it often?
What brand/model? |
|
I have a Taurus Tracker .22, which I will shoot for the first time this weekend. I just bought it Sunday at the gunshow.
I also have a North American Arms mini-.22 with the holster grip. I can't hit shit with it, but damn it's fun ! |
|
Ruger Single Six .22LR & Magnum. It comes out with me every so often. I do enjoy shooting it, but I would rather have the SW617.
|
|
Same thing here. Mine is a H&R 999 Sportsman, nine shot. 4" barrel. I really want one with the 6" barrel, but have not been able to find one. I have a "friend" who has one, it needs parts, he doesn't know how to maintain a gun, it's probably rusted solid by now.
I love mine, but don't get to shoot it much. |
|
|
Smith 617 set up with a Leupold scope for squirrel and bunny hunting and yes, I shoot it frequently... |
|
Right now I have a Ruger Single Six in stainless with a 4 5/8" barrel and I just bought an old 5 screw Smith K22 with a 4" barrel. I also have two Ruger 22 autos, both skinny barrels, in 4" and 6". I can say without reservation that the 22 pistol is the most enjoyable gun you can own. Low cost ammo, no recoil, no handloading. Some guns, like the AR15, are for bad times. You train with them like you train to do CPR or other emergency actions. A 22 pistol is a good times, relaxation gun. You need one.

another single six. I take it out occasionally , probably will more now due to the fact I bought a Vaquero .44 MAG.
|
|
I have a German single-action Cowboy style clone. Have only shot Colibris with it so far. It seems pretty accurate.
|
|
Same here. I have a beautiful blue box Smith 63. Hey! Sure like those grips! |
|
|
This is my answer as well. |

Thanks for the responses, all. That's the info I'm wanting...I have an automatic, and I've had the itch lately to add a .22 revolver to the collection. There's a lot of options, especially with frame size & barrel length/heaviness, to consider.
I just don't want a regret down the road a la "I like my .22, but wish I had gotten a different one way back in '05" |

My dad gave me a six-inch Smith & Wesson K-22 for my eighth grade graduation present many years ago! Was my first handgun, still have it, really like it but rarely shoot it. (Hate cleaning all those chambers in wheel guns.)
|
|
I have a blued Colt Diamondback 6" BBL. Looks like a little miniture Python. I shoot it as often as I can. Great shooting gun. This gun is semi-collectible because there wasn't that many that was made.
|
|
NAA .22 mini-magnum.
It's a bunch of fun but I don't shoot it much as I rarely get close enough to my targets to use it. |
|
about how much did it set ypu back? |
|
|
Your dad rules. Mine got me a 10/22 in 6th grade. I'll hang onto it forever. |
|
|
A Ruger Bearcat is my only .22 wheel. I don't take it out very
often, but when I do I enjoy it. DanM |
|
One day I will own a nice blued S&W .22 wheelgun. I am quite fond of them.
Though I am tickled pink with my Ruger MK-II. It is a superb firearm, and is far more accurate than I am. (Which is saying something...) Example? I used it to shoot the primer out of an old 20 guage shell at 20 yards. With el-cheapo ammo to boot. (It is completely reliable with ALL .22 ammo.) Not bad. |
|
High Standard Sentinel. 9 shot 4 inch barrel, adjustable sites. Nice action and pretty darn cheap. You can find them for under $125 in decent shape. Great for practice.
|
|
Ruger Bearcat, anytime I walk in the woods it goes with me or the S&W 422 does.
|
|
I got it used for $50 from a biker. It's worn out and needs some work but shoots well. |

|
|
Yes , a Taurus. Shoot it every time I go to the range..... because it's FUN ! That Federal ammo is Nasty when it comes to clean-up time.
|
|
That's my exact piece. |

|
Taurus Tracker here. Don't shoot it much but when I do it is a load of fun.

ruger single six in 22lr
colt trooper II in 22mag I don't get to the range nearly enough |
|
|
A blue, six inch, Taurus model 96. It usually makes the trip to the range with the rest of the pistols and gets a workout most times. I had a 4 5/8 inch Single Six and sold it and never should have. It or a Taurus model 94 would be a good beginners gun.
Strangest wheel gun I had was a Dan Wesson .22 with a four inch barrel. Someone had modified it so it would only shoot double action. It was a sweet shooter but a buddy wanted it more than I did and I sold it to him. It was a well crafted beautiful piece. |
|
H&R in .22lr and .22 mag cylinders nifty little pistola actually,well made by the manufacture.
|
|
I had an stainless S&W kit gun,kinda little and light,carried well but I never shot it real well.
I also had a single six in stainless with the second cylinder in 22mag.Clumsy sucker to carry and it took all day to load/unload it but it shot pretty good,once shot a woodchuck at about 60 yd with a quick snapshot. I was just throwing a shot towards the chuck because I had been playing hide and seek with it for a couple of hours as I was mowing and every time it poked it's head out I didn't have a safe shot at it. I was Bsing with a couple of guys and it poked up its head and I drew down and thru a shot at it and caught it right in the head.The guys thought I was dead eye dick,who was I to tell them it was mostly luck. I have a real old colt officers model (full size gun) kinda cool but the action is somewhat rough. The real shooter in the bunch is a 4" S&W 617 10 shot,a newer one all stainless.Some of the early 10 shots had alumimnum clyinders, never thought much of them. My gun had a real nice factory trigger pull right out of the box. Bought it at a local range/gunstore on "S&W" day. Wondered if they were selected by the factory reps on hand to have better pulls or if I just got lucky? It's allways fun to stick a revolver with cb caps or shorts into somebodys hand and watch the grin spread across their face as they pop away! |

ruger 3 screw unmodified, original, complete with bianchi holster.
h/r 626 s/w 617 shoot 'em whenever i can, not nearly enough, have to work... |
|
S&W M37 light weight kit gun. It is the best survival pistol you could carry light weight, accurate and it works everytime you pull the trigger.
|
|
I Have a German RG single action in .22 mag. Probably nearly the saem gun as California_Kid. I only bought it because a relative needed money. I've never even shot it once, just cant bring myself to buy a box of .22 mag when I keep a brick of .22lr for the 10/22 and its so much cheaper. I do have a .22lr cylinder marked S&W that I don't even know how I came to own, and it fits and functions in teh gun but I wouldnt trust the chambers to line up with the barrel enought to actually shoot it without knowing for sure.
|
|
The only one I have is one of those cheap H&R jobs (Model 910?) that I use to dispatch (non-target) critters caught in traps. Loaded with CB caps it is handy/quiet/effective.
After seeing those K-frame S&W's, methinks that's my next firearm. Wow! |
|
A 5 screw S&W K-22. Made in the '50's I believe. Purchased it from an older gentleman who was retiring from many years of competitive shooting. It is in almost perfect condition. The ejector rod shows a lot of wear. Do not shoot it often. Figure it will only become more valuable. It is the only firearm I have that that i view that way.

Ruger Single Six .22LR and .22 Mag cylinders .
This is the first handgun I have ever purchased. All these years later ,and I still shoot it from time to time. I love this gun. Unbelievably accurate. Mine is the old model that lacks a safety,still it's great to teach new shooters with. Good rabbit/squirrel gun to. |
|
I have a 15 year old S&W 617 w/ 6" barrel.
It is an amazingly well made gun and the factory trigger feels like a custom job. costs a lot but is worth it. Shoots 1" groups, NO KIDDING |
|
Yes, Yes, No.
Taurus model 94 SS w/5" barrel, 9 shots, wood grips. |
