I passed on the ruger singles because reloading is slow. I have a model 94 4in Taurus which is ok and a model 617 smith in 4in which was worth every penny. 6 in was essentially the same price reviews said 4in balanced better.
I paid 700 for mine after shipping and transfer. 649 +25+25. Used ones were just as much if not more for a pre lock version. I recommend going with the 617. Taurus came from the factory with flawless finish but trigger pull was 20+ pounds in double action. Smith is much more heavy duty and well worth the extra cost.

I've owned Smith & Wesson, both Model 17 and 18. Both great guns. You wouldn't be disapointed with either. Same for Dan Wesson 22's. Great shooting, if somewhat heavy to carry. I've owned several Ruger Single-Six's and Colt single actions.
Today, I've only got a Ruger Single-Six, and a High Standard R-106 Sentinel. The Sentinel is a really fun gun. It's become the gun I carry when I take my walk in the morning. You never know when you'll be attacked by a rouge pine cone or something. About the same size as a K-frame, it's a nine shooter with a 4" barrel, and an aluminum frame. It's not a target gun or anything, but just a neat little gun to have and seems to be plenty accurate enough for plinking. And best of all, it was inexpensive. I bought it about a month ago for less than $175.00.

The K-22 Masterpiece series is the top of the line for SA/DA .22 revolvers, especially at any kind of reasonable price. There are plenty to be found in the $400 - $800 range. Find a nice one, buy it, and don't look back.

So I see the title to your thread and automatically think K22 before I even open it only to find you're heading the right direction. Hope you score a good one today.

That's a _____ beautiful K-22. Wow.
You paid $600 for that?
You did extremely well.
I don't have enough superlatives. Fine, fine shopping you did.
Just, wow.
Take those grips off and store them.
We should go shopping together, for me, with my money.

Only had time to run about 30 rounds through it off my porch, but WOW what a great shooter...

k511, Yes, yes you do sir... Kudos! Now to find THE ammo it will shoot best. It'll shoot most any .22lr round well, some better than others, so find the round it prefers.
It is almost too pretty to shoot. But shoot it anyway, with a smile on your face.
Did I say, really nice?
ETA... what year is that?
