EAA bounty hunter SSA is a fantastic gun. Comes as a 9shot .22lr with a .22mag cylinder, every bit as good as a ruger single 9 http://image.sportsmansguide.com/adimgs/l/6/641459_ts.jpg Came to post this. I have the nickel pictured on top, bought used, great shooter! Do not under any circumstances get an ammonia based cleaner on the nickel(at least not too long) ask me how I know. |

617 is the way to go. But if cost is big issue look at ruger. But after that not big fan

High Standard Double-Nine (9 shot DA) was pretty much the industry standard in the 70's-80's.
The 5" Natchez model was my favorite.

You should know that Ruger SUCKS, no matter the product/turd! All the well made, old revolvers are all 6 shot. If you want more than 6rds of .22, get an auto!

I really like the 17's and 18's better than the 617 but I'd get the 617 out of the options out there. Actually I'd get a Buckmark if I wanted something that held more than 6. As I get close to 60 I really do act more and more like an old man!

Top-break .22s are best .22s, at least for shooting enjoyment.
If you can't find a H&R 999 or Sportsman, Iver Johnson made a Supershot Sealed 8 which is a cheaper alternative. |

I'm going to say nope to that one. The cylinder stops timing correctly after about 800 rounds and then you start getting bullet shavings coming out of the cylinder gap. Casings like to get caught under the ejector too |

High Standard Sentinel. Picked up two in the last year or so. Decent revolvers at a fair price. Both of mine work great. Still pretty easy to find. I think I paid $225 for one and $110 for the other (a rather distressed nickel gun). Discontinued for decades but Numrich still has parts.

This is my deluxe model. http://oi40.tinypic.com/209hvvc.jpg The R101 and 102 didn't have a spring return on the ejector, which meant that most of them have scars on the frame where the owner tried to close the cylinder without manually retracting the ejector rod. Sears also carried them under the JC Higgens name. It really was an innovative design. The cylinder didn't use a conventional pawl and ratchet, so they almost never went out of time. And it theoretically could be dry fired, as the cylinder has a cutout for the hammer. And I've also heard they fit perfectly in a J frame holster. |

Aside from that though how do they shoot? The one I had was pretty accurate even though the trigger was only ok. I wish I'd kept it. I have one. A decent quality revolver. Accurate with adjustable sights. Break open and auto ejection. Single action trigger is light and breaks clean. Double action is long and heavy. Mine was given to me with no rear sight and a broken main spring. I gut lucky at Numrich Gun Parts. |
