So basically I want a .22 revolver.
I do not currently own a revolver or have that much knowledge of them. I'd appreciate it, if someone could point me in the right direction of what's a good company, that makes a cheap .22 revolver, without hurting the quality? I just want something real cheap to shoot and plink with. Thanks in advanced. EDIT: Possibly considering a .38 special as well. |
| I know I shouldn't touch this one but you should define your price point a bit beyond cheap say in a dollar amount. Also, what type and style of revolver you're thinking of as in say a single action like a six shooter, a more modern design with double action, snub nose and so on. |

I'm not too set on barrel length or the action type, so I'm open to all suggestions. |

I just looked at the ruger single-sixes online. They look very nice.

Cant go wrong with the single six. Check out the single 10 too. I think they make .22 magnum cylinders for both of them too. Ruger single 6 and 10 @ Cabellas |

sp101 may be a best bet
a S&W 17 600-800 higher end with 3 T's 6" or 8.5" barrels only S&W 18 800ish = these are in demand with many collectors they are just a 17 with a 4" barrel S&W 34 small J frame snubby $550 $700 condition is the key on these ruger single six- 450-600 look for one in stainless these are SA only but good guns also look at single tens single action colt frontier scout - you can still find these cheap like $300ish with luck they shoot great but do not have adjustable sights like the rugers |

Trigger pull is horrendous on the 22s. Try one in a shop before you buy. Better would be single six or Smith 63 for the win. |

None at all. Just more shots before you reload. |

This, I was extremely disappointed when I tried one, trigger pull was horrible, both in smoothness [or lack of] and weight. I have decided to stick with older used S&W and Colt .22 revolvers only. Plenty of S&W 17s [less so with 18s] and Colt Official Match .22s are still reasonably priced. DIamondbacks are getting pricy. Any of them are far nicer then the new crap being put out. |

| I've got an older Taurus 94 that shoots well (after sending it back to be rebarreled). It'll never be anywhere near as nice as a Smith, but I only paid $110 for it NIB. If I were buying new today it'd be a Smith or Ruger Bearcat (I already have a Single Six convertible). |

I have to agree with fxntime, I have quite a few rimfire handguns and quality makes a huge difference in rimfire guns if you want a little bit more than a plinker. With a S&W K-22, M17, 617, or nice older Colt OMM you will be happy for the rest of your life. Until you shoot a Korth  ...

Affordable and built well: Single-action a Ruger single-six Double action can be High Standard, H&R, S&W, Dan Wesson, Ruger SP-101 Any of these will work well and last the rest of your life. I'm gonna say this one right here. A Dan Wesson 22 is a very fine pistol, and the best part about them IMO is the fact that you can change the barrels out. You may have to be patient to find one (as they aren't as common as say a Single Six), but I think they are worth it. Very easy to work on, and can be made to have super smooth triggers. The other nice part about them is that they are built on the Dan Wesson small frames (Also shared with 357's), so it feels like a regular revolver and not a little, shrunk down toy. |
