If he can be patient watch for a used one.
I lucked into a K-22 Combat Masterpiece for $300 a couple of months ago.
You never know what will turn up on the used gun market but you've got to be patient.People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome.

+1 on a used Smith or Dan Wesson. If you can find a Colt, that would also be great.
I have a couple of Smith Model 17's and a Dan Wesson .22 revolver. If I found one for $400, I'd probably buy it as well.NRA Life Member

+1 ruger and smith are the way to go, my local gunsmith friend says he has to return half of the taurus guns that they sell. (probably exagerrated a little, but still) Apparently the company is good about taking them back and fixing them or sending a new gun, but i heard some bad stories, and don't even get me started on the heritage POS. I have one and have dealt with the company, sure it is american made... but damn when they call it a Rough Rider, there should be emphasis on the ROUGH. Don't know the current price of a single six, but then you've got the 22 mag option too, with fixed sights for the cowboy look, or the blocky "target" sights. But can't go wrong with a smith either.
Anybody want to trade a smith for a heritage?

Ruger LCR22 on sale at Turners for $429.99 this weekComment

Ain't that fer true.
Got my "ugly-ducklin'" (that looks just like this pic.) at a pawn-shop a while back.
High Standard Sentinel R-100 9-shot double-action .22LR w/ a 3" Bbl.
$150.00
- 50% off sale
$75.00
The bore was full of what looked like rust that the on-site gunsmith couldn't get out w/ a bore brush...
...so they dropped the price to $50.00.
After I got it home, I soaked the bore in Hoppe's for an hour and then ran a 5.56mm stainless steel military bore brush through it... once.
The bore was pristine, and had just been coated w/ some sort of caramelized resin.
Shoots tea-cups off-hand at 15 yards...
(also got a NIB c. 1980's 20 ga. Rem 870 Wingmaster w/ a 28" mod. choke vented rib Bbl... for $125.00)Comment

I Like that suggestion for this situation. We're talking about a new shooter with a budget. .22LR is the right caliber to develop good technique and this manufacturer has established a beachhead in this arena. He can spend more, true. Or he can purchase this Single Action revolver and focus on making each round count while putting the price difference towards his follow up gun. Then he would have a head start on say a .357 Ruger Single Action or whatever he gravitates towards.

Take the Heritage for less than $200, and spend the rest on ammo. altho not pretty It shoots every bit as well as my Single six.

Used 98% Model 17 target, wide target hammer, target trigger...$499, heirloom...dirty in the pic but a beaut to shoot!
what looks like blemishes or wear is actually the glare reflecting from the flash!
TURNING and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

If someone is new, why must it be a revolver? Think about a pistol to save money and gain fun. A Ruger MkIII is excellent, below $400 OTD and keep for 100 years. Or the new Ruger SR22 which everyone is raving about, $350 range. A person can always return to the revolver world later if he likes shooting and increases the budget.
As long as im hijacking the thread i might as well complete the sin and say dont buy any of these, get a .22 rifle which is easier to learn and handle, half the budget and then there is room for accessories, cleaning kits and ammo. A Ruger 10/22 fits the bill, as do others, and hold their value well.Last edited by CharlesV; 05-31-2012, 12:12 AM.Slim River Carry Slings for Henry AR-7Comment
