Looking for suggestions for preferably an economical (new or used) .22 revolver that also is reasonably accurate. Not looking for a souped-up target race gun but not an inaccurate 'Saturday night special', either. Main shooting ammo will be .22 shot loads to handle some copperheads (which have been particularly bad this year, here in north Texas) and CCI Quiet or Aquila Colibri for the occasional tree rat heard thinning.
My house is in a semi-subdivision setting, backing up to a creek (thus, the snake problem) and the squirrels got so over populated a couple years ago, a family was forced to find a new nesting location (in my attic!).
I'm thinking more in terms of a six inch barrel for the increased muzzle velocity for the shot loads and sight radius for the more distant tree rat shot. Now that houses have built up around me, the noise level is a concern (not that I'll be shooting that often around the homestead but no use in giving the neighbors reasons to complain). Open to most any make but needs to be a revolver (since CCI Quiets don't cycle my Ruger 22/45).
