I had one and wanted to like it, but it is just too light for me to shoot well.
The .22 and .22 MAG revolvers that I carry afield more often than any others are the stainless Rossi 518 and 515. If I'm going to carry a .22 afield, I'm much more likely to carry a S&W 2206 with a 4.5" barrel than any make/model of revolver. I've come to prefer the all-stainless 2206 to its alloy frame cousins, the 422 and 622, because I shoot the heavier 2206 better than the alloy frame guns.
I bought a 6" 6-shot 617 back in 2001, but have never cared for it, so it staying on a shelf gathering dust.
