The SP101-22 is an excellent choice. Its a perfect "all around" revolver. I have a 617, and while it makes a great gun for the range, its too heavy, and bulky for my tastes, for a woods bumming around gun. My 317 is better for a woods gun, but very light for range work. Whats in between? The Model 63, but it costs more than the SP101-22. If you decide on Single Action, and have no desire to shoot 22 WMR, consider the Single Ten. Dont let the comments about the trigger on the SP101-22 discourage you. The Smith & Wesson triggers are no better, as far as pull weight. They do have a shorter pull, but my SP101-22 trigger is very good, and stages perfectly.
