S&W 53-2

Until recently I did not know anything about this revolver and especially this caliber (.22 Remington Jet). Back in March a thread was started by a member asking if he should buy one (which he did). I commented that I should be safe, never having seen one in Switzerland.

How wrong I was, again. While I roamed the grounds at the LGS, I spotted this 53-2, 1973 made. But I went home and refrained … for three days. Then I reserved it.

I brought it home yesterday, cost me $550. Oh and it came with two boxes of Remington ammo.

Very cool!
Are the inserts for .22 LR or 22 Magnum?

I’m told they’re for .22 lr

I have it's baby brother, the Model 18. Just missed a opportunity for my Model 15. Like yourself, I'm only recently learning of (or at least paying attention to) this model and caliber. Nice score and you can't complain about that price tag.

It is loud, louder than the Ruger in .30 Carbine, but hardly any recoil.

Great fun though
