I haven't seen one yet at a gun shop but I don't visit shops every week.

Ruger previously made the SP-101 in 22 (and discontinued it) and I think it really sucked in that caliber. It had a horrible trigger. I probably have handled 50 different examples over the years at gunshows and shops. I could not bring myself to spend at the time $300 for one.

I had high hopes that this revolver would be better. At least it comes with about a 4" barrel which is generally more useful than a snubbie. I was pretty interested in one at first, but my interest has waned with the lack of examples I could handle. I do have the LCR-22 which is a fun little revolver.
