I'd sure enjoy an 8 shot 6" SP101 in 17HM2, but alas, I don't believe it'll ever happen.
NM: You could get a single-six in .17HMR if you really want a .17 in a pistol.
Out of curiosity, is anybody seeing 17 HM2 ammo in stock in different gun stores, etc.? I can find 17 HMR hit or miss, just about never see 22 LR and can't recall having seen 17 HM2 although I haven't been specifically looking for it.
CalHunter: Phoenix, AZ here. I don't remember the last time I saw .17HMR2 but like you I do not look for it either. About the only time I think of it is when I am buying .17 and I double check to make sure it is not .17HMR2. And like you .22 is still a rare find. This .22 shortage is getting old. I am finding stacks of: .223, 7.62, 9mm, .45acp but .22 is no where to be found. I guess there is a whole new demand for .22 and the industry has just not yet caught up with it.
