Are there any DA/SA .22LR or .22WMR revolvers that aren't... 1- Cheap as poo poo (Taurus) 2- Retardedly expensive (S&W) ? EDIT: I should clarify. I think a snubby DA/SA in one or both of those calibers would be titties beyond comparison, but Taurus is Taurus, and the only Smith I've seen is one with about a 4 1/2" barrel and it's like $650. There has to be a middle ground there. DJExile fucked around with this message at Jul 10, 2009 around 01:23 |

This is basically what I'm thinking about. In fairness, I know Taurus is getting better with things, but I don't know about their rimfire revolvers at all.

Awww poo poo son, y'all best step back. DJExile be bringin' not 5, not 6, not 7... but EIGHT shots of magnum firepower.   Picked this little guy up today for $260. Should be a great little gently caress-around gun. Fun fact: Turns out this gun can also shoot the older .22 Winchester Rimfire (.22WRF), the first response to the .22LR, and effectively the grandfather to the .22WMR. It's a slightly shorter casing, and less powerful, but also ran $10/50rds, and that's a bullshit inflated gun show price. Hard to argue with that.

Nah, the show was in the Cleveland area (I'm in Toledo) and 2 friends wanted to go so it took the better part of the day. Should be able to in the next couple days. I'm curious to give this .22WRF round some work.

Ron Mexico posted:Oh you went to Berea? I was gonna but then I slept in and it was raining and... Yeah the trip out was miserable, but the show wasn't bad. 3 barns chock full of motherfuckers and it got pretty good once the rain cleared out. You were right about the DA trigger. Is this something a smith can clean up? Or just dryfire the poo poo out of it?

devilsbite posted:DJ, nice .22 Mag, I love the service grips. Did they come standard? The used one we've got has a pleasant DA pull; it's kind of short & would benefit from a set of Wolf springs, but it's smooth. The SA is crisp, just like my 85. Yeah, which was a nice touch. The DA on this is pretty rough, but I expected that. SA is fantastic. I should be getting out today or tomorrow to put some rounds downrange.

I finally got to take the .22Mag wheelie out and it was a lot of fun. The red/orange front sight makes life pretty easy, and picking off targets from 50' didn't prove too hard. This was a buddy taking care of an old Budweiser can we'd hit a few other times. Yeah, we made a smiley out of target stickers. Big whoop, wanna fight about it? The grip is very comfortable, and fit even some big sets of hands without a problem.  Far as ammo goes, there wasn't much of a noticeable difference between .22WMR and the old school .22WRF, which is nice because WRF is cheap as poo poo when you can find it. Overall, very fun gun, locks up well, and while the DA is rough as hell right now, I'm not really concerned with firing it in DA so it all works out.

Out of sheer curiosity (and because I love goofy experimental/new rounds), what's the story behind .327 Federal Magnum? Has this caught on at all or is it seeming to go the way of .45GAP?

Fremry posted:I know I was talking about the Single Six before, but I haven't committed to anything. What are some suggested .22lr revolvers to look at. I'm trying not to spend a huge amount either. The Ruger Single Six and Bearcat are pretty fun SA shooters. I had the Colt Frontier Scout SA for quite a while and loved it. DA/SA rimfire revolvers, as a rule, don't have great DA triggers until you really break them in, which you don't want to do by dryfire. S&W's .22LR DA/SA is really nice, but you're looking at $600+ for it. Taurus' offerings in DA/SA revolvers are a lot better lately, and most can be found for under $350.

I have a couple basic 5-shot HK speed loaders for my Bodyguard, but I'm having a bitch of a time using them. The rounds line up fine in the cylinder and all and I can get the loader unlocked, but it seems to require quite a bit of wiggling to get all 5 rounds to drop out of the loader and into the cylinder. Right now I drop the rounds from the loader as far into the cylinder as they'll go, then do the unlock-and-wiggle dance to get the 5 rounds out. Am I loving up somewhere? Related, what do most people think of things like the Biachi Speed Strip?

EndofGoogle posted:As for revolvers, any thoughts on the S&W Bodyguard series? I recently held some small carry-oriented revolvers and felt comfy with the size and ergos (on j-frames and the LCR) but kinda wanted the option of a SA trigger. What are some good price ranges for pre-lock ones and non-alloy types? Also, who makes good grips for j-frames that fill out the back nicely for people with gaint spider hands like me? I like mine. It was $425 NIB. I'd imagine you could easily find used ones under $375.

infrared35 posted:Speed Strips aren't bad but obviously they take practice. Personally, I find it easier to load from belt pouch. I have one that holds six rounds in pairs; it's easy to pull out two rounds at a time and load them quickly. It lies fairly flat on the belt so it's more concealable than a speedloader pouch, and it maintains its orientation, unlike a Speed Strip which, depending on method of carry, can end up sitting upside-down or sideways in the pocket. Wow, I never noticed that. it actually gets caught a little by S&Ws own panel. What's the pouch you use? EDIT: Something like this?

Uncle Caveman posted:What secures it to the belt? I was thinking about getting one for my Redhawk, but if it just dangles there, no way. I'd imagine if your belt is already pretty firm against your body, this will hold just fine. 6 rounds of any typical revolver load aren't exactly heavy. V V

Practice the pull until you can consistently get it to stop just after the hitch and you'll be

Chiappa is the same company (out of like Dayton or some poo poo, I think) that made that god-awful .22LR 1911. I'm having a hard time seeing why so many people thought the Rhino was suddenly going to be the pinnacle of quality.
