Okay I have a line on a 1980's era one with the 22lr and 22 wmr cylinders. It is in excellent condition. Is it worth $350? It is a friend so if t is worth more I will offer more. I have always wanted a good 22 revolver for practising so I can improve my grip, stance etc. on the cheap.

A very fine rimfire revolver. As for price, I see them online selling from $425 up to $777 at auction. If found at a local dealer, the price would probably be less. I think an offer of $350 would be fair, but what is paid between friends only the two of you can decide. Whatever you decide, I think you would be very happy with it.

MrIanvez...Welcome to this fine site. Pull up a stump, grab one of Vince's beers and sit a while.

S&W .22 revolver with both cylinders? For $350? And you think there is a decision to make here?

The only problem I see here is..."Where's my wallet?" Very Happy

Going to see the gun today. We live in different provinces. S&W is selling them new as classics for over $950.

With the extra cylinder, target grips and a speed loader I will give him well above $350. We were navy buddies many years ago and are more like brothers. Money can`t buy that type of relationship but, if you let it, it can sure ruin it.

Point well taken, but if a friendship isn't strong enough to withstand the purchase of a firearm then it wan't that strong in the first place. But then again...I'd cheat my brother in a heartbeat and never loose him. He'd just get even or ahead.

GOT IT! It came with all you see. It has the target surrated trigger and widesurrated hammer spur. The target grip I thing is a wrap around Hogue. The manual is actually an original Model 17 one that somehow the previous owner to my friend had laying around.

Bore is perfect but I am going to have to work on the MRF cylinders as they get sticky after a couple of reloads. The 22lr cylinder had some leading caused I believe by firing shorts. I used some flitz and it cleaned up fine.

$400

A magnificent revolver Mac...I'm jealous mate. I love the little rimfire round in a pistol, it's a damn lot of fun, and lethal if need be.

SLIM...Ya missed it mate...a spelling typo. Very Happy

Cheers, Vince

Fantastic! Now I'm left feeling I need to find new friends. Sad
