OK guys. I have a little bit of extra money and I may use it on a .22 pistol or on one or another gun or non-gun related option I'm thinking about. I'm leaning towards finally getting the .22 though.
I was out shopping a few stores today and I want your opinions on these guns. I'm giving the prices for a comparison, but keep in mind that prices are regional. Unless you live here in MD and know of a better price don't tell me "those prices aren't any good" because while they may not be for your area they may be fine here. However, for comparison against each other, comments on whether you'd take one gun over another at the price difference is appropriate.
-I saw several used Ruger Single Sixes with both cylinders, and in what appears to be good condition. Two were blue, one was stainless. All were selling for $250.
-I saw two Ruger Bearcats at the same store in similar condition (the more expensive one was a little nicer cosmetically). One was $225 and the other was $250. It did seem a little small for my hand but they do have a reputation as a fun revolver. For the same price though, would you get a Bearcat or a Single Six?
-A Heritage Arms SA revolver with .22lr and .22mag cylinders for $199. It was in great cosmetic shape but I didn't try it out. I'm not sure if I trust this one since I know nothing of the manufacturer.
-A Colt New Frontier in .22lr for $250. It looked like it was in good shape though I didn't try it out yet.
-A S&W 422 (or something like that- it was a medium framed .22lr auto). Cosmetically it looked good but, again, I didn't check it out otherwise.
-A Ruger MkI for $200 (that's right- the original, the MKI not MKII).
-A used Ruger MkII for $199.
-A new Ruger MkII with a 4" barrel for $225.
-A new Browning Buckmark for $250.
I'm leaning towards the Colt or the one stainless Single Six.
So if I go with a .22 handgun which way seems best.
I may also go with a different gun (a shotgun or Hi Point Carbine), I may put aside some money to start saving for a Bushmaster while I still can or I may use it for some non-gun related stuff, but I'm leaning towards using it to pick up one of the .22s.
I open it up to the gallery.
