The 650 is also something to be considered if price is not an issue. Good luck finding what you need.

I do not endorse S&W .22 revolvers. I had a M-34 that I had to literally POUND on the extractor rod with a plastic mallet to extract fired cases.
I called a contact at S&W and he admitted that this has been pretty common for decades. All he could suggest was to polish the chambers and try different ammo brands.
I'll never buy another of those. I'm sure they can't all be that bad, but I got scalded once and I'm not risking the hot water again.
