A couple weeks ago I special ordered one of the new "classic" Model 17 / K-22 "masterpiece" guns and picked it up last week. I've only shot it a little but so far I'm not very impressed. I put about 25 rounds through it to get it sighted in. The SA pull is not smooth, it hops and skips along nicely, jerky and jumpy. Either the crown is off or the barrel is rotated 'cause the rear sight has to be visibly off center. Groups, with CCI mini-mag HPs, are around 1.5 to 2 inches at 25 yards from a rest.
I'm not sure what the plan is yet. It has not gotten off to a start that gives me optimism for eventual happy results.
