They actually made a semi auto version but because of the characteristics of the round it was pretty much recalled. Now every manufacturer has a warning to not use in an auto pistol.

I was looking at a single action revolver, think it was a Ruger

A revolver would probably work out just fine. However, the .17 suffers a similar fate as a lot of semi-auto .22 pistols (and even rifles in some instances) where there simply isn't enough muzzle energy to cycle the action reliably.

I seen there's a buy back program from remington on the 17 ammo and on some rifles also....magazine I seen it in was american rifleman

I still prefer this .17:

Hey Cody that dude on Gunblast is a character huh...lol
I'll probably just try to find a .22, I just want something to plink with & get the grandkids started with

What I use for feral cats and pesky rabbits around here:

I save the 10/22 for the ones that run.....

I got a single shot .410 in the barn for them kinda deals
Last critter I had to displace was a skunk that was sick or something, he couldn't spray my blue heeler that found him next to the barn. All my wife was worried about was a kleen kill, hell he was only 10yds when I shot him.

I found the gun thread,, I knew there was one somewhere. :happy-dancing:
