I'm trying to decide between an SR-22 4.5" or a LCRx 3".  Just general plinking gun.  Any suggestions?

I find plinking to be much more enjoyable if I can actually hit what I plink at.  I wouldn't think that a 3" .22 would be much fun.  YMMV.

I do like the LCR and I am a tried and true S&W guy. With a revolver the trigger is a good part of the whole thing and I rate the LCR as nearly as good as the S&W 617


Not a huge fan of the sr22 ,look around and buy a ruger standard model . Fairly compact and a really reliable gun that will pretty much shoot any high velocity 22 ammo out there and likely will also function with CCI std if you want something less.


The Standard model has the shorter barrel and fixed sights that are frowned on by many but I think just as good as adjustable on a 22 and less likely to get knocked around. The used Standard model should only run you $250 or $275 which will allow you plenty for ammo and allow you to start saving for a nice S&W 617 because what you really need is to get both!

All my .22 handguns are pistols, but if I'm getting another one it'll be a revolver.

Diamondback, anyone?

This is not the comparison I was expecting when I clicked this thread.  

If it were me, the debate would be between a Single Six/Single Ten and a Mark IV for a general plinking gun, depending I guess on whether I wanted to feel like a cowboy that day, vs an assassin.
