I've been keeping an eye out for a used 22LR revolver just for informal plinking. I am looking to spend the least amount I can to get a functional gun. I know most here will just say no to anything Taurus, but I have had a SS Taurus PT99 9mm pistol for at least 23 years and have put many rounds thru it with no problems.
Since I started looking, I have not found any used 22 revolvers at all in any LGS or pawn shop (I am not in Mass) until today. The LGS 3 miles away has a used 4" Taurus 922 with both cylinders in stainless steel for $399. Bud's guns had a new one for $479, so I would offer maybe $340 for the used one. One plus with buying from the LGS is they have an indoor range so I would insist they let me check it out before I would buy it. I would appreciate any first hand info/experience my fellow NES'rs can provide. Thank you.
