Gents - I have a bunch or 22's in all shapes and sizes, but lately I've been interested in finding a long barreled 22 revolver. For no other reason than I don't have one and think it would fill the void in my life, that I believe I have. I know they're 2 different "animals" but I'm considering older model S&W 17s with the 8 3/8" barrel and the Ruger Single Six with the 9 1/2" barrel. It would be for range use, not really interested in holstering it. I have a few older S&Ws and know, for the most part, that their triggers can be much nicer than some Rugers. I do like the idea of having a spare cylinder in 22 Mag with the Ruger though, as I have several 22 Mags, as well. Anyone with first hand knowledge or input? I really have no need for one, I just think I need one - Thanks Bill in MA
