17hmr handgun

[downlinx]

I just inherited 5000 rounds of 17hmr ammo and wondering if there is a pistol that shoots 17hmr ammo? I would like a pistol as I would take it with me fishing and it is easier to carry a pistol vs rifle.

I think Taurus has a Tracker that is in the 17 cal.

Yep. Here is the link.

Ruger makes it in a Single Six also.

Excel arms made one but it was a flop. They just would not work. There is a YouTube video for it.

Semi-auto .17 hmr was a flop.
I have a Taurus tracker in this caliber and it is a tack driver. My buddy takes it hunting as a sidearm and has 1 fox, 2 coyote and a few squirrels with it. I told him he needed to buy one and he said why, you have one..............

Thanks guys, I just have not had the best luck with torus products, maybe I will give this one a try.

Taurus revolvers are, generally speaking, better quality than their semi-auto offerings!

Don't be afraid of a Taurus revolver. Their Tracker and Raging series are pretty cool stuffs.

Upgrade for Taurus

If you get the Taurus you will find a very heavy double action trigger pull. Go an order a wolf 10lb hammer spring and swap it out. Just finished a trigger job on one and the new spring and selective polishing of the trigger and hammer components made a huge improvement.

Thanks, I will do that.

Unless you want to wear hearing protection while you fish don't carry a .17hmr.

They do have a loud crack when fired.

+1 on the hearing protection.

.17HMR is sooo nice for ground hogs though...

I fail to see how both of these are easily carried.

i thought the keltec pmr30 in 17hmr would be about the best pistol ever, but since they cant make enough of the pmr30 in 22mag, i doubt the .17pmr30 will ever hit the market

They are both easier to carry than a rifle. If you got the Volquartsen it would fit in a holster just as easy as a large revolver. I have a MKII with a 10"barrel, it take up the same amount of space. Your only other option is a revolver.
