.22 Revolver fun

[BC Bigbore]

Yesterday two packages arrived and I tried out a couple of new-to-me .22 revolvers. One's an H&R 922 9 shot and the other is a Ruger Single Six with the extra .22 Mag cylinder. With my Ruger MkI I'm restricted to long rifle only so it's kinda neat having .22 handguns that can digest a variety of ammo. I had a good selection of ammo along that included shorts, several brands/types of long rifle, some #12 shot loads & a couple .22 Mag loads. Talk about enjoyable, cheap shooting. Those little guns got a work out and not one hiccup. It was the first time I fired a .22 Magnum handgun and I was impressed. Can't wait until next days off to go shoot a bunch more

I love my Single Six. When I'm in the States with it, it works GREAT on gophers with the 22 magnums. Congrats on the purchase.

All I want to add to the above worthwhile dialogue is that the .22 revolver is a lot more accurate then the semi.

As you have found out, revolvers have a place in shooting. They are a lot more flexible on what ammo you can use. Plus they can be just plain fun.
I used to have a Ruger convertible so may I offer a word of caution . Something I did once & I have heard of other people doing is forgetting that the .22mag cylinder is in & using regulars 22's. They will go in & they will fire but the cases will split & may be dangerous. Other than that, enjoy them.
