I enjoy trying to find good deals on firearms, and I spent several years trying to find a 22 caliber revolver that I liked. I went through a bunch of them. As long as I got them used and cheap, I didn't lose very much money on most of them. I enjoy trying out different firearms. (Keep in mind, all of this is strictly anecdotal, and most of these revolvers were purchased used.)
I had two Taurii, a Tracker and a Model 94. I liked the Tracker quite a bit. It had an ingenious method for switching out 22lr and 22magnum cylinders. It was accurate. It had nice sights. The SA trigger was decent. However, the DA trigger was atrocious. The Model 94 was similar. Not a bad revolver, but the DA trigger was horrible.
I had a cute little old-fashioned Rossi. It was a Model 511 or something like that. It was like a little kit gun, stainless with adjustable sights. I really wanted to like it. However, one or two of the cylinders were inaccurate. I shot it alone and with a friend, and the results were always the same for both of us: four or five holes in a nice little group, then one or two fliers.
My High Standard was the same. It had a very nice trigger. I even lucked into the superior version with the steel frame. I took it shooting with the same friend (a very good shot) with the same results. One or two of the cylinders always produced fliers. Between the Rossi and the High Standard we even figured out which cylinders were faulty, but I didn't feel like spending anything to try to get them working better.
I got a nice little 4" H&R/NEF. It had fixed sights. It worked fine, but the sights were tiny and the DA trigger was awful.
I got a Rough Rider on a Black Thursday sale for $99. After examining it closely, I really didn't like the fit and finish. The plastic ejector rod lever really turned me off. I probably should have given it a chance, but I grew up with a Single Six, and the Heritage just seemed like a cheaper, poorer quality imitation. I didn't like the trigger, either. I got more for it in trade than I paid for it, so no complaints. I probably should have at least shot it a bit to give it a chance, but that would have instantly hurt its trade value.
Oh, and I got a little SA "Buffalo Scout" made by Tanfoglio that wasn't too bad. It had a cheap little unnecessary safety and the sights weren't much. It wasn't terrible to shoot. I ended up giving it to a friend who didn't have a 22lr revolver and really wanted one. Somehow she dry-fired it to death within a month or two. She used snap caps, but managed to wear out the load-bearing surfaces on the cylinder, or something like that.
I thought a 3" LCRx would solve my problems and was incredibly disappointed. The DA trigger was way worse than the one on my LCR 38 special, and I shot it poorly (unlike the 38). That was the most disappointing one of the lot. (I have owned and disliked two center-fire SP-101's, so I never even considered getting one of those.)
Finally I lucked into a S&W K22 Masterpiece at an outrageously good price. It had the best DA trigger that I'd ever shot up until that time (my recently-acquired Model 28 might be slightly better). Its finish was worn and it had the wrong grips, but I didn't care. It has a 6" barrel and I will never be as accurate as it is. Different friends keep trying to buy it from me. Did I mention that I got a fabulous deal on it? I traded the Tracker in soon after that, realizing that I would never shoot it again.
Around that time period I found a Single Six with damaged finish and missing a small part. Again, the price was outrageously low. After $20 and some elbow grease, it shot as good as new. It has a 6.5" barrel. It isn't quite as accurate as the K22, but the sights are also a little smaller. After I shot it the first time I gave the Tanfoglio to my friend; I knew that I would never shoot it again.
I also decided I wanted a 22lr snubby for shorter ranges and plinking around on my BiL's property. I've owned three CA revolvers and liked them, so decided to take a chance on a 2" fixed-sight Pathfinder. I like it. The DA and SA triggers have that weird Charter Arms "cap gun feel", but seem about the same as my centerfire versions. The short barrel and small fixed sights are a bit challenging for me, but I shoot it reasonably well regardless. It seems like a decent little revolver.
