S&W 17/617
I own a lot of .22 pistols. At least a dozen. I have owned more in the past. In addition I have various .22 conversions for centerfire handguns. And, I shoot them all quite a bit. I have fired thousands of rounds through all of them. I have fired a brick of ammo through most of them in one day, more than once.
The 17 is my favorite.
Why I like it is hard to put into words. Accurate, smooth, looks good......... ??
I own two Model 17s and one 617.
When you own a bunch of .22 handguns and choose to buy three of the same basic pistol that speaks volumes.
FWIW: I own a High Standard Supermatic Trophy, so my most accurate .22 handgun is not my favorite. I would put it up against any .22 pistol every made.
