I really need to get a 22 revolver or pistol. It will pay for itself in ammo savings and I love my 10/22 for plinking and I think it needs a partner.
I just got a GP100 and love it and it has really turned me onto revolvers. Before that I had all 1911's and semi autos except one J frame. So here I am trying to decide on the "best" 22 hand gun to get.
First I would really, really like to have one that shoots 22wmr for armadillos and such and to be able to shoot 2 kinds of ammo with 1 one gun so the the single six convertible seems perfect. The problem is its SA. Having never owned an SA I wonder if I am going to hate loading/unloading it. I like the idea of being able so shoot DA but like most I shoot my GP100 SA 99% of the time anyone, so loading and unloading is the main advantage of a DA to me.
Of course the 22/45s are much loved and I really, really like 1911s so no brainer there but it only shoots 22lr.
The SP101 is nice and I like thats its an 8 shot and DA but only shoots 22lr as well. I guess I could consider a S&W 617 here too but not sure what those are going for.
Lastly (unless yall have some more suggestions) is the taurus 992. It has it all as far as I'm concerned. 9 shot DA revolver in 22LR and 22wmr. The problem? Its a taurus. I know a good taurus is a good gun, the problem is actually getting a good.
All these guns are close enough in price it wont really matter. The 22/45 COULD me a lot cheaper but I would likely get it in the SS hunter that Davidsons offers so that puts it in the ball park with the rest. Any other the others I would get would be in SS as well.
Any and all info/advice/suggestions are appreciated.
