I am working on obtaining a 22lr revolver, small frame, short barrel, similar to the old S&W kit gun. The S&W 317 can be obtained locally from Sportsmans Warehouse for about $550.00.
Are there any less expensive options? My goal is to find a good quality, durable gun, (a keeper) and I have seen the Charter Arms pathfinders, and I think Taurus makes a small frame 22, or did. These are less expensive, but I read so much bad press on them.
What makes the S&W worth so much more money? Are there other options besides the Charter and Taurus variety?
Thanks!
