My dad asked me to find him a 22 revolver so he can practice shooting. He wants a wheel gun, about the size of a 15-2 so he can plink, but retain the feel of his 14-2. It bothers his hands to shoot alot of full on 38/357 but he wants to practice. I know a DW 22 would be ideal, but he doesn't want to spend alot of money and we all know that DW 22s aren't exactly cheap.
OK give me your ideas.
Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

Unfortunately I don't believe any double action 22s will be much cheaper. Maybe a Taurus, I'm not a fan of Taurus myself but some guys like them. Maybe try Charter Arms, I don't know if they have one or not. You may just have to hold out for a DW. I will keep an eye out for you.

+1 on this. I recognize that a DW .22 will command a higher price than some other .22's, but the benefit of practicing with exactly the same grip, cylinder release, weight, trigger...
I recently got a Model 22 for $499, and it came with an 8V that I sold off on DWF for $200. The buyer made out well and I got my 22-4V for $299, net. I can't say this will always happen, but if you just keep looking, you might find what you need.
I have a 22 and a 722, all the DW .22lr guns I need. When I stumble across another one, I'll give you a shout.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.
