I understand and in all likelihood I will actually buy the centerfire and the rimfire revolver at the same time (purchase permit required so its easier to apply for 2 at once here, rather than separate times). My question is more whether the rimfire should be as identical to the main gun as possible (ie snubnose) or if I should go longer barrel. People say a snubby is bad to learn on but I don't know if they mean 22LR that is being used to specifically train for the centerfire piece or just folks who go out and by a 38 Spl as a first gun.
