Anyway I have a 686 357Mag and 637 Airweight for when a bigger handgun is in order. Also have some bigger longer 22 pistols for their purpose. Just looking for a lightweight easy to carry, fairly accurate 22 for............well for the heck of it mainly. lol. Last edited by centershot; 04/30/22.

Again, a S&W 43C would appear to fit your criteria: This one is stock, except for the replacement front sight, thumb latch, Hogue Bantam grips and a Wolff eleven pound trigger return spring. Every day’s an adventure.

The little 317 goes with me quite often, but I also carry 422s and 622s frequently...they're not quite as handy with the suppressor on them, but they're still lightweight and accurate. I carry the little Ruger LCP II a lot and have to say that with Stingers, it serves the purpose... Have to admit that I never thought about adding a CT to the 317. I appreciate that notion Stick...I can see that being about as helpful as the trigger job I'm having done to it.

I need to poke a Holosun aboard it,to connect all dots. Hint................... Brad says: "Can't fault Rick for his pity letting you back on the fire... but pity it was and remains.

Flung John an email and will act upon his suggestion(s). Curious to see if I'll need to D&T the 317 to wear a Holosun. Hint................

Nice lightweight little "take along" revolver, Had one of the S&W lite weights I let slip away, but am pretty happy with this new Birdshead. Virgil B.

Shot so many rounds that I wore out the cylinder. S&W replaced it, no charge. Didn't even pay for shipping. I am a customer for life. God Bless America

Been schlepping a Pistole chambered same for 36yrs non stop,only including Admirality,Baranoff,Chichagoff,Kodiak,Afognak and The Mainland from Annette to Yakutat...with "only" lotsa stops between. Hint.................. Do you trust to shoot a bear in a sticky situation with a .22 pistol? I always read stuff about 22's just bouncing off bear skulls and whatnot. Don't know if there's any truth to that but people like to repeat it.

I don't know about bear skulls, but back in my packing house days, if cattle came back into consciousness after the pneumatic knocker didn't knock them out, the guy used a .22 LR handgun to the brain and it was one and done. My other auto is a .45 The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory
