I love 22's, but I'd take a 38 over a 22 for a "trail gun".
That said, I agree on buying two guns!

If you're anything like me, about 98-99% of your shooting is plinking. Here are a couple of alternatives for your consideration. One is a J-Frame 38 S&W. The other is a J-Frame 32 Mag. If you have access to someone that casts bullets, either are outstanding plinkers and can be reloaded cheaply. What's cool about the 32 Mag is it will shoot, 32 S&W (pictured), 32 S&W Long, or 32 Mag. The shorts are on par with or even quieter than a 22LR. The 38 S&W is about equal to the noise generated by a 22 LR. Even hollow point, gas-checked, cast bullets are available and can be loaded to formidable velocities. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x472/davidmc116/f9722b63-8441-435b-859b-6e66083765c6.jpg) DMc

If you like the 617 then get one; you won't regret it. I've had mine for just over a decade and from the minute I bought it, on up to today it has been my absolute favorite handgun. I absolutely love DA shooting with it, and switching to single action, it's accuracy is sufficient that I've made 35 yard shots on squirrel. It's heavy but no more so than a full sized 1911 so hush choose your leather well (which you ought to do anyhow) and you'll absolutely love it.

This. A M63 I bought just as they came out in '78 or so. I was a pup that made a great decision and we have slayed a pile of little critters together. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa437/boxhead61/IdSp09_sixguns019.jpg)

The 22 LR stinger is lethal way beyond its diminutive size. Not all guns shoot them well. However if the gun and this bullet match up well it's an extraordinary combination

Find a S&W Model 53 .22 Jet with an extra .22 mag cylinder or inserts
Guns don't kill people, it's mostly the bullets

I have the light weight S&W 8-shooter trail gun. It is fantastic. And with CTC Laser Grip sight it is good in limited light situation.
