This expert review from Lucky Gunner Ammo's 'Project Rimfire' meticulously tests five medium-frame double-action .22 LR revolvers: S&W 617, Colt King Cobra Target, Ruger GP100, Taurus 992 Tracker, and Spohr 283 Carry. The analysis covers cost justification, purpose, and detailed performance metrics including reliability, speed, and accuracy. The S&W 617 Mountain Gun emerged as the top performer, praised for its exceptional accuracy and smooth trigger.
Jerry Miculek compares the Colt Python, S&W L-frame, and Ruger Speed Six, evaluating accuracy, performance, and value. While all three revolvers demonstrated excellent 50-yard accuracy with .38 Special, the S&W L-frame excelled in rapid-fire due to its superior trigger reset and lockup. The Colt Python and Ruger Speed Six, though capable, had trigger limitations that impacted speed.
