More .22 revolvers are made in the USA than semi-automatic .22 handguns. Most of the revolvers made in the USA are .22 rimfire. Surprisingly, Smith & Wesson only made 10,300 .22 revolvers in 2021.

I have shot many tens of thousands of rounds .of 22 through revolvers and semi-autos.

They are very fun, useful and a delight to use and own.

No matter who the “star” of range day is, whether its the SW 637, 686 Uberti 45’s or whatever - the Heritage .22 always goes too. Very fun to shoot and cheap ammo - the granddaughters love it as well

One wonders, what caliber is smaller than .22?

My Ruger revolver is .22 caliber

I’m rather fond of my Ruger MKII semi-auto. Larger capacity and it looks sexy.

Be forewarned that the manufacturers' lawyers appear to have ordered them to make .22 revolvers with very high weight trigger pulls.

I’m regularly seeing signs for jobs at Ruger posted around the area.

There were two people killed on my street growing up and both were killed by a .22

I just looked at Ruger’s website to see what kind of Single-Sixes they offer.

MSRPs are around $900! Used to be a Single-Six was a pretty affordable piece.

The Alaskans are $1500. Those have always been pricey, though. Griz protection doesn’t come cheap.

If I was to buy another handgun, it would probably be one of these.
I like some of the features on these, and the longer barrel on the NA Arms version. One more round in these.

I have a Heritage .22 revolver. When I bought it the price was somewhere around $160. Cool part is that when you cock this thing, it makes 4 clicks like the firearms in the old western movies.

One problem. You can get a useable .22 semi for around $200 (Kel-Tec P-17) where the cheapest carry sized revolvers are almost twice that.

S&W Model 48 I believe, 22 magnum - real nice. I think they were called rat guns

I remember the 1960s when more cheap .22s were sold than any other firearm. It was claimed thy were being used to kill more people than any other firearm in the US.

When Bobby Kennedy was murdered with one the news media claimed it was a “foreign made” one and labeled it a “Saturday Night Special” to be banned.(It was a US made one)
So imports of small handguns and 5 shot army surplus rifles were banned in Dec 1968 and all gun problems were solved back then! The democrats said so!

“Today we begin to disarm the criminal and the careless and the insane. All of our people who are deeply concerned in this country about law and order should hail this day.”-— Lyndon Johnson signing the 1968 gun control act into law.

And Thomas J. Dodd, who wrote the 1968 gun control act using the 1938 Nazi weapons law as a pattern...

“No one can predict how many lives will be spared because of this bill, but, if the bloody record of our yesterdays is any measure, millions of future Americans will live to enjoy the promise of many peaceful tomorrows.

I am grateful to have had the opportunity to play a part in this great moment in our time.”— Thomas J. Dodd on passage of the 1968 Gun control act.

How did that work out for you AMERICA!

Once these were banned the anti-gun radicals immediately looked for other firearms to ban.

I like the Ruger Single-Six. A family member has one. Two cylinders. Shoots .22LR, .22 Long, and .22 Short using one cylinder and .22 WMR using the other. Accurate as all get out, and no kick. Long barrel. 9.5” I think.

Unfortunately, quality DA .22LR revolvers are outrageously expensive.

I have a Smith and Wesson Model 617 10 shot 22LR revolver that is wonderful. It’s based on the Model 686 357 6 shot revolver (looks, sights, weight and action/feel) and I shoot it all the time in my basement for practice on the 686. I shoot Aguila Colibri (primer only) loads in it and it is as quiet as one of my suppressed 22LR Beretta Model 87s.
