I chuckled as I read your heading.

Congrats on your new acquisition - no need for for repentance here.

My sin is much worse. I have been waiting for quite a while now for S & W to come out with a 617 in a 4.2" barrel. I don't have enough time left now to wait for one of these, so I bought a neat little Ruger SP 101 - stainless with a 4.2" barrel.

It seems Ruger might be coming out with a 100 in .22 but word seems to be it will be a 10 shot model and will be competition for the 617.

It seems Ruger likes to put out firearms, to wit the 10/22 and the SP 101, that need a few "touch ups" so we will see how it goes. Due to gov't paper work, I won't have the 101 home for a couple of days yet.
