If you want new production, Ruger provides (IMHO) the only option in a reasonable weight 22LR revolver.

I'm not aware of a current production 22LR offered by S&W, other than the 617 and I consider that too heavy for a 22LR.

I find that a full underlug is overkill on the barrel of a 22LR and makes the 617 unnecessarily heavy.

I really like the barrel profile of the new Ruger and will pick one up as soon as it's 'approved for sale' (GRRRRR) in my state.
