Guys, I finally got my NYS pistol permit, bit of a process but worth the wait.
I find my taste in guns runs along the same lines as the company of this particular board so what better place to ask for advice?
I have an itch for a classic .22LR revolver to train, target shoot and plink with. Wood and blue, 6-8" barrels, preferably at least 50 years old. I have done a quick survey and the choices seem limited, but not terribly so. I would appreciate opinions on your experiences with the following guns and any other you think I might consider.
Colt's...
Officers Model and variations (Match, Target)
Official Police (pre & post war, different issues)
Police Positive
Diamondback (I know not quite 50 years old but gets good press)
S&W's
22/32 Hand ejectors (Bekeart)
K-22 Outdoorsman
K-22 Masterpiece (I'm told the 1940-1957 are the best ones)
Early Model 35 (the 22/32 Target Model of 1953)
I will be keeping a lookout for single shots but until then one of these will have to do. Feel free to give me advice on what I should expect to pay for a clean shooter.
thanks,
Rob
