edwards in Riverhead has two in stock. A 4 inch and a 6 inch. You will need a second mortgage to purchase one but they do have two. $799 +nys tax+ an attitude from the owner.
I want to buy this S&W 617 22LR for my wife. She has recently completed her firearms safety training course and received the certificate. Now she is eligible to make a purchase average capacity firearms for self defense.
The 617 is a great gun (I have one). Easy to shoot, no recoil. Same frame as a 686 so feels very solid in the hand and nice gun to introduce your wife to shooting. Having said all that, I'm not sure I'd want to use a .22 for self defense. Sure, a well placed shot with a .22 is certainly lethal, but there are better options. If you're leaning towards revolvers, then a 4" 686 would work well and loaded with .38 specials, the recoil is minimal. Just a thought.
Good Evening All. I would like to add a snub nosed 22lr revolver to my collection. I don't want to spend major bucks but i also don't want to buy a piece of junk. Used is perfectly alright with me. Any recommendations on manufacturer and maybe a Long Island dealer that might have one?
