..agravation? Changing cylinders on a Jet is just like doing a proper cleaning on any S&W...loosen or remove the crane screw, slide crane and cylinder off, slide cylinder off the crane, replace with other cylinder and slide the assembly back on the frame...tighten down the screw and you are done...

I've had a 1962 Model 53 since the mid-1970s and it is still my favorite S&W .22...and I have a bunch of them. The 6" looks like a Model 19 with a ramp front sight...and the balance is much better than a Model 17. And speaking of balance..you may want to handle a 617 before you buy...the 6" is especially nose heavy.

They are just fun and interesting guns...Bob
