I have two .22mag revolvers and a .22LR semiauto ...
One thing I have noticed is that the .22LR fails to fire frequently, maybe once in every 30 rounds or so, while I have never had a .22mag fail to fire. Perhaps the revolver is a better way to touch off a rimfire round ... in any case, I love the magnum round a lot. One huge advantage to me is that my wife dislikes recoil and will only shoot .22s ... with a .22mag, I feel she has a distinct SD advantage over a .22LR, especially given Hornady, Speer and one other maker are producing 40-45 grain JHPs designed to work best in short barrels, IE, handguns ... there's a Ruger LCR in .22mag in her nightstand, loaded with 45-gr Hornady Critical Defense rounds ...
