Ruger 22/45
Sorry for the hijack but I have been trying to decide between the 22/45 target with the 5.5" bull barrel and the lite with the 4" barrel. I have probably been reading too much internet but is there an accuracy difference between the two and if so how much more accurate is the bull barrel vs the lite?
Unless you were shooting Bullseye, I doubt you would notice the difference.
Here you go...I'll take some more flattering photos as soon as I can get the 617 outdoors. Until then, this shot off my ironing board will have to do. The speedloader and loading block shown in the photo are from Dave Skrzela's DS-10 line of speedloaders and blocks.

Very nice! Thank you for the pics and congratulations!Here you go...I'll take some more flattering photos as soon as I can get the 617 outdoors.

I try the Browning 1911 .22.
I am not a revolver fan, but I really like the looks of that one. How fun is it to shoot compared to an automatic?
The 617 is much more enjoyable to shoot than any auto I have owned. That's just my opinion as I am becoming increasingly partial to wheelguns over auto handguns. The 617 will be getting an Apex hammer and red fiber optic front sight in the upcoming months. After installing a 13# Wolff rebound spring, a new strain screw, and stoning the internals, I'm running a 9# DA trigger and a SA trigger that's less than 3#. With the Apex hammer, the DA pull should be closer to 6# (no SA notch on Apex hammer), but I'll likely need to use a reduced power main spring and longer strain screw to get there with reliable ignition.
