Default I think I'm beginning to understand

I never quite got why people so love their K-22 revolvers.

A K-frame for shooting 22LR? Seemed like a LOT of gun for such a pipsqueak round. Heck, the J-frame or even a palm-sized semi-auto is more than enough gun for 22's, right?

That last part is still true, BUT, I now understand the attraction for the K-22, after my first trip to the range with my newly-acquired M17-3.

I'm no great pistolero, but here is my last 8" target of the day with the M17. Shot 18 rounds at 7 yards, single action, with a 2-handed grip. This is the closest I have ever come to one ragged hole. 11 of them in one 3/4" hole and the other 7 grouped around them within a 2-inch circle.

Like I said, I'm no great pistol marksman. But I think that's probably the best I've ever done with a gun the first time taking it to the range. I LIKE IT!

P.S. I added a couple of pictures of the gun for good measure.
