[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 1234492, member: 13337"] There's nothing wrong with them,,, They just don't trip my personal trigger,,, That's the only reason I would not purchase a Model 617. I think the reason the older S&W .22's are so expensive,,, Is because they are not as common as their big sisters in .38/.357 On any given day I can find dozens of models 14, 15, & 36 for sale,,, I have a bit more trouble finding a comparable selection of Models 17, 18, & 34. I got lucky and found a well used but not abused Model 18,,, I got it a few months ago for only $375.00,,, It's a perfect match for my Model 15. [attach=full]78065[/attach] I had to pay a bit more for my Model 34 snubbie,,, It was in excellent shape and went for an even $500.00 [attach=full]78066[/attach] I expect I will be paying $500.00 or more for a decent Model 14. That mid 60's Model 18 of mine,,, Outshoots any of the Taurus that I or my friends own,,, My friends Model 17 is still a benchmark for target/hunting accuracy,,, And my Model 34, it has the smoothest trigger of any snubbie I have ever fired. Yes, the S&W .22 revolvers are pricey,,, But well worth it in the long run. [COLOR="Silver"].[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
