The odd shape of the .22 Remington Jet is said to cause cases to set back against the breechface and bind cylinder rotation unless chambers and ammo are very clean and dry. Ballistics are not as good as advertised. It is still a hot number if properly managed. $595 is cheap if the gun is in excellent condition... as most are; I don't think I have ever seen a well-used Jet.

Ruger denies ever making a Hawkeye single shot in .22 Jet or any other calibre besides .256 Winchester. Maybe there were some custom jobs before they were discontinued and got too valuable for speculation to actually shoot, much less alter.

Colt was involved with the .256 but never could make a revolver run reliably with it. There are rumors of .256 Pythons, but there are known fakes of Pythons in about any calibre that can be got in that cylinder and frame.
