Greetings,
Now that I've been taking another shot at DA revo (after miserable failures w/ my SP101 and Colt PPS, both now sold), I'm considering getting a second piece a little more upscale than my H&R 622, cool though it is.
Taurus 9422: fired one once years ago, and seem to recall that it was cool, and 9 shots yet smaller than the S&W 617. No strong opinion either way.
Rossi 518: A local shop has one for $199. It seems to be about the size of an S&W 63, but that S&W gets scalpers' prices these days, over $500 IIRC. Seems a pretty good price for an adj sight SS J-frame revo, though it be made by Brasileiros.
S&W 617: I dig the 10-rounds, the wide variety of aftermarket grips. Not so keen on K-frame, as I have J-frame hands. I know it's a famous revo, but is it 2-3x better than Rossi?
The Rossi 518 has barely been covered on THR, so I thought this would make a good addition to the archives. Plus, inexpensive .22 revos have been getting some play on the board this week, so more=merrier. Thanks much,
