Been there - done that. Just buy a .22 LR revolver. The bore size for a .22 mag is larger than a .22 lr. What this means is that if the bore is sized for the .22 mag. (and it will be on a convertible setup) when you fire a .22 lr. the fit will be loose enough that accuracy will be, let's say, lousy when you fire .22 lr ammo. Years ago I had a Ruger convertible Single Six and it was a tackdriver with .22 mag. but sucked with .22 lr ammo. Sold it and never looked back.
