I rather like DA .22 revolvers, although I haven't owned one for many years. The last one I bought new was sold because I needed to finance something else, but it was a pre-safety-lock S&W 617 that had the nicest out-of-the-box trigger I'd ever experienced.

I'm very tempted by the new Ruger 8-shot SP101 (like in the first photo), but I'm not at the buying stage yet. I never cared much for the Ruger (Super) Single Sixes despite owning a couple back around the time I got married, but the SP platform is one that I do like in .38/.357... and the owners of the older .22 SPs sure don't seem very eager to sell them.

You won't be sorry. A friend bought one as a first handgun to learn with. He stored it at my place for a while, and I keep making sure it works :) A very accurate weapon that is fun to shoot.

The swing out cylinder is easier to reload than the single action types too. The double action is very smooth. Single action trigger feel is even better.
