Which .22 LR Revolver ?

Did you find a .22LR? I have a really nice Dan Wesson .22LR I would part with. This gun is the same size as their .357 models. Long bbl. The barrels are interchangeable so you could swap barrels if you wanted to. This is a DA model. These guns are quite rare, especially the .22LR and expensive to buy. I can email or text photos of the gun.
 
Rusty nut . No I have not found one yet as I’m waiting to see where the bank account is going to be after the other recent purchases Will keep you in mind
Thank You !

Double action: S&W Model 17 if you don't have 12(6); S&W Model 18 or Model 34 or 63 if you do.

Single Action: Ruger single six or wrangler.

Those would be my choices for a wheelgun in .22lr.

Speaking of the Model 34... Quality manufacture, adjustable sights, accurate.

An often overlooked revolver is the High Standard Sentinel.

These are great shooters and usually carry a modest price tag.

12(6) is a class of prohibited handguns. Nothing to do with a Model 12 6 shot .38, unless the Model 12 has a barrel under 105mm. Then it is a 12(6).
The Model 34 above is 12(6) based on its barrel length of 101mm.
 
There was a colt frontier on last Switzer's sale that went quite reasonable,
a ruger single six with 22lr and 22mag cylinder went for700.oo or so.
I use to collect Colts, but shot more s-w.
The 10 shot 617 is nice, but I liked my old model 17 more, way smoother, and I don't care for the full underlug barrel, that is for Colt Pythons , or Diamond Backs:cool:
All the Ruger DA I have had where center fire guns.

PS, the model 18 smith - wesson is the same as a model 17, but not target sights, the 617 is the same as a 17 ,but a stainless gun , originals (old) are all 6 shots , but they are making a 10 shot gun now, and you can get speed loaders for them, as well as the 6 shots.
These are all double action guns.
Single action guns ( cowboy type) , you load and unload one round at a time

The Ruger single six , is single action, as is the wranger, which is a alloy gun , cheap, quite new model, so how they stand up????? time will tell.
The old H&R top break and single action guns are well made, and priced reasonable, if you stubble across one, have a look, the 922 is a nice 9 shot, but not as smooth as a smith or colt.

And as has been mentioned, as a new owner, you have to buy pistols over 105mm, 4" is bad, 4.25 is good.

The Double Nine variant of the Sentinel is also worth consideration.

Then there are the solid frame, swing out and tip up revolvers manufactured by H&R and Iver Johnson. Not the old ones, but the more recent .22 recreational shooters.

About the Ruger SP 101 in 22: I had one, it was fun to shoot for me, and I liked the way it looked and felt in the hand. But even with Wolff springs, it was difficult for kids to shoot. Both cocking the hammer and pulling the trigger in DA are pretty stiff. If part of the intended purpose of a 22 revolver is to take out kids or other people with weaker hands, I'd recommend a different design. The Single Six is much easier to ####, if anything because the hammer is longer.

Yep. I've heard the SP 101 was a bit of a swing and a miss for Ruger. They've had a few. A small striker fired polymer in .380 and 9mm, I don't recall the name of the model but its apparent garbage, which is not a word usually associated with Ruger firearms.
