Seeking a nice .22 revolver for target....

[SrsBlk]

Fort courage armory in Simi Valley has a Smith 617 on consignment, I think it was $750 iirc.

I'd keep looking for a shooter grade S&W 17 or 18. It's pretty hard to beat an old K-frame trigger. I recently picked up a Model 17 with holster wear for $450 at a local gun shop. They are out there but you have to snatch them up quick when you find them.

Barbarosa is Spot on. these are some of the most accurate your find..but another one is the Colt Troopers...They're out there.

22 Colt Officers Model Match from the 60s. They are out there and can be
brought in from others states they are C&R. You can find a decent one
for about a yard. Same frame and action as the Python. They are heavy but
shoot well with the Python grip and trigger.

S&W K22 Masterpiece

[Sir Toast]

before you buy, watch the ads on Calguns. I see them pop up every once in a while. Look for a High Standard Supermatic Trophy or military model. It is semi auto, but crazy crazy crazy accurate and amazing. I sold mine and regret it. Try and get an old one in great condition. It takes target shooting 22 LR pistols to the next level. Just my 2 cents.

This was mine:

S&W K22 Masterpiece or as SirToast said, High Standard Supermatic. K22 has one of the smoothest revolver actions, Supermatic is just the best semi-auto target gun I've shot.

About a year ago I found a model 17-3, predecessor to the K22 Masterpiece.

So far, it's on the same level of accuracy as my Model 41...thinking I might be at my limit of skill.

Damn straight.

Supermatics come up for sale occasionally and are keepers.

S&W 617 10-shots. Very fun to shoot.

16k rounds.....

eh....running a little low?

My wife recently bought a Ruger SP101 eight shot and it needed trigger stoning and Wolff springs right out of the box-truly a lawyered trigger pull, I believe around sixteen lbs. or heavier and yes, I understand that the hammer drop must be stronger on a .22 in order to contend with the rim fire case in lieu of a thinner centerfire primer.
Much better now, she's put six different brands of ammunition through it from Remington Golden Bullets to CCI Mini Mags and they all went bang.
She's starting to make a dent in my 16000 round stash!

$450?

BTW - is that Barbarosa guy related to Barbarella?

Now I likwe this suggestion...

brought in from others states they are C&R. You can find a decent one
for about a yard. Same frame and action as the Python. They are heavy but
shoot well with the Python grip and trigger.

The frame looks comparable to the diamondback, which Im sure is nice, but seems over priced.
Thanks!

The frame looks comparable to the diamondback,

It’s not ,it is the same frame as a Python. The Diamondback is a D frame
which is smaller.
