.17 HMR pistol

Postby skywalker » Sat Mar 02, 2013 2:49 pm

Just got my hands on one and must say I like shooting this booger. Can see my son with this pistol for a long time. 7 shot Taurus trakker. I'm sure this will be deadly on moccasins in the next month or so fishin in the 'bottoms'...........

I have heard of these, but have yet to see one in a gun shop. I love my Savage .17 rifle and it would be great to have a pistol in the same caliber. Going to have to look for one in the near future.

Out of curiousity how long is the barrel?

6.5 inch and a thick barrel. Looks tough, but is fun to shoot. Some weight to the pistol and no recoil at all.

Ive been looking for one, Couldnt decide if I wanted a Ruger single six in that calibure or the standard 22lr/mag. I never heard of anyone else making the 17 in a pistol, my search continues now lol

I wore some 'cheapo' ear plugs. Nowhere near as loud as my .40 cal.............

I had a smith and wesson model 617 in .17 HMR. It was a super sweet shooting gun. Loud as hell and impractical but a nice gun.

I bought on when they first came out a few years ago. I will say that it is fun to shoot.

Same here, bought mine off of a guy in a bind for 250$ with holster and 2 boxes of ammo. They are deadly accurate also.
