Here Archer&shooter check this one out.

I don't know of any semiautos out there in .22 mag, Also and I know a few guys have them, I would not recommend the tiny NAA revolvers in .22 magnum. They are a pain to hold on to when you shoot them, and you definately need the extended grip. Don't listen to these ".22 is a useless round" people. I challenge any one of them to shoot themselves with a .22 and report back to this website uninjuried because the bullet bounced off their skin. I'm assuming you will lose some power coming out of a short barrel with .22 magnum , however at close range I don't think it matters much. The big disadvantage to the .22 mag is the recoil is a lot heavier than a .22LR, its not too bad (the revolver above will probably kick a little less than a .38 snubby), but you will lose that almost zero recoil accuracy you get with .22LR. I'm guesstimating recoil however I never shot anything other that the NAA revolver and rifles in .22 magnum.
