No. The advantage of 22 is ability to fire multiple shots with little recoil. Therefore you need lots of cartridges and the revolver doesn’t have them.

A study I saw several years ago of a great many defensive shootings showed this:

ANY hit with ANY bullet—the first shot—stopped bad guys equally regardless of caliber.

Yep—even the .22 short.

The first rule of gunfighting is “HAVE A GUN”.

I agree. It only holds 6 rounds. No sale. The 22LR version holds 8 and makes a good snake gun. Ruger is about 10 years too late now that pocket 380s that hold 6+1 are so common and quite reliable.
