I have a few Colt revolvers, but I am unwilling to pay the price they are going for currently.
So, can I get a few opinions on the Model 17? I am partial to the -6 (full under lug, 6" barrel) but have seen a few threads where the -3 gets votes for the most sought after. I am not fond of the service grips, much prefer the target stocks. One more thing, I don't really want a model with the lock.
Mostly I shoot steel plates at 25 yds., but I like to know when I miss, it's my fault and not the gun. However, I like to shoot a new-to-me gun from the bench to make sure I can get the smallest groups possible.
I tried a search, but loathe the search function on these forums.
