Best Choice for a Stainless Steel 22LR Revolver?

[nra-life-member]

Looking for some suggestions. I am seeking an all Stainless Steel 22LR revolver. S&W, Ruger "any top level producer". Prefer 6"+, but will also look at less than 6".

6 - 10 Round capacity. Adjustable sights, but wouldn't mind the ability to add an RMR in the future.

What are my choices out there? Would appreciate some feedback from owners who have been happy with their 22.

Not interested in a semi-auto.

Thanks.

For the Rugers you can get Single Action in 6, 7, 9 or 10 shot. https://www.ruger.com/products/newMo.../overview.html
For Double Action, the GP100 https://www.ruger.com/products/gp100...eets/1757.html
For Double Action, the SP101 https://www.ruger.com/products/sp101...eets/5765.html

Out of all of those, I've had my eye on the GP100 in .22lr for a long time. I prefer Ruger to S&W, and I like the ergos of the GP100. Also, I found the trigger on the GP100 to be a little lighter than the SP101. Both have heavy trigger pulls in order to reliably set off the .22, but you can get springs to bring that down and maintain reliability. Unfortunately, you can't find one anywhere these days.

Much remorse over selling my S&W Mod.63. One of the best .22 revolvers ever made.

The single action does look interesting with all of the choices.

Can vouch for both the GP100 and SP101. Loved my time shooting both as rentals, had my eye on one or the other since I got into shooting.

It'll need work on the forcing cone...

You're not going to go wrong with EITHER Ruger or Smith & Wesson. Just pick the one that fits your hand or your wallet better.

I have very much enjoyed my Ruger Single Six. You can get a 22mag cylinder too, which is handy.
