I have never understood the need or use for a .22lr snubbie. Especially a double action with a 7lb trigger pull and a 1 7/8” barrel. Some will say it’s good and cheap for practice, but $400+ will buy a lot of cheap 38spcl ammo for more useful variants. It is a poor choice for self defense, targets or plinking. Maybe (I say maybe) it would be OK for snakeshot.

Ditto. Pretty much a useless gun for the $.

You are right. We have a High Standards stub nose, 9 shot .22mag with a 1 inch barrel, double action. The pull through is pretty hard but up close and personal it gets the job done. Much better weapon. But you can hardly find one anymore.

I would not waste my money when I can get SW stubbie in .38 special for around $400 or a Bersa .380 for $299.

I dunno, a jogger’s hush puppy with subsonic 22shorts?

It enters the head but does not come out, bouncing in the brain for a sure kill.
