Beer Talk
Sitting around the campfire at a recent shoot, we were discussing the 22-17 round and the various shooting instruments that are being built to use it. Someone brought up a new round, also a .17 caliber, that's made from a necked down 22LR. I cannot find anything about this so far. It sounds interesting, but was it only beer talk?

.17hmr is a hot little round, fun to shoot and MUCH cheaper than a few years ago when it first came out (the guns too). there are some other new ones out there now..i want to say a .223ss and ruger has a new one for the life of me i dont remember...something like a .202 super short or something...pretty cool new plinking rounds out there.

The answer I was looking for was in Mwoods' post. It's called the Mach2. Ruger is making a new pistol to handle it, called the MarkIII, that they say is due out later this year. (If it's like other new Rugers, that means later next year.)
I've been formulating plans for the construction of a semi auto pistol to shoot the 17HMR, but I think this Mach2 might be closer to what I'm looking for, and probably easier to build.
