Who Likes .22 Revolvers??



I sure do. I have all manner of firearms and calibers. But I love shooting .22’s. These are some of the one’s I currently have. I have a bunch of semi auto .22’s and a Charter Arms Pathfinder .22 in my truck. These are just the most fun for me. Show me yours!

Colt Diamondback is the apex for me.
I love DA shooting w/22 LR revolvers.

I have been plinking with 22.cals since a kid. My favorite Plinker/Trainer is the LCR22. Just too much fun. A real satisfaction comes with becoming proficient with it.

Me!

But I can't shoot this M63 J-frame worth a flip. I need me an M617...it's on "the List".

Sweet collection!
Which one are you the most accurate with?

Funny you should ask !
I recently purchased a Ruger Wrangler , 6-shot , SA , fixed sighted , Colt looking Cowboy Revolver ! All those years (50's through 70's) of watching TV and big screen westerns left me with a big revolver hankering . The Wrangler looks the part , I have lots of 22 ammo and the Wrangler was only $199.00 .
What I love about 22 revolvers is they will shoot everything 22 ...22 BB Cap , 22 CB Cap , 22 short , 22 long and 22 long rifle and even 22 blanks ... with no problems whatsoever ! Been loving the Wrangler ... wish I could holster it like Shane does in the movie ... that back spin into the holster has amazed me since I first saw it in 1954 !

No DA .22s found here of course, but do enjoy my SA .22s. Especially, the Single Six. I bet there are only a 'few' that don't enjoy shooting .22. Probably not as many that enjoy revolvers though. For example, I always enjoyed revolver shooting since I was a kid, ... that and a bolt action .22. Now I have a Henry Lever... But my kids gravitated to semi-autos late teens and twenties. They would rather shoot my Mark II and bought their own 'look like an AR style' .22 rifles.... Oh well, each to their own!

My 6 shot Uberti Stallion .22 is my go to varmint gun. Fixed sights, dead on, minute of squirrel accuracy at 20 yards. Can't post pics from my phone, but she is a looker.

That Colt Diamond back... WOW!! That is nice!!

Thanks for the offer, I think I’ll keep it a bit longer

Oh I forgot I also have a S&W 53-2 in .22 Remington Jet Magnum



And a single shot from 1922, not quite a revolver but close

Had my 1976 Colt New Frontier out last weekend. Love to shoot it and the original clock work adds a bit of fun to the experience.

Me too !!!

And I, as well. I'd venture to say that "most" .22 fans, have never worked with one. As the kids would say; "Sweet"

I was once offered a pair of Diamondbacks in both calibers, for $300.00 each. I passed on the deal and even though it was about 20yrs. ago, it has never left my memory. Oh well, we don't always make smart moves. ......

Be Safe !!!

The .22 revolvers are my favorite guns to shoot.











Also have a Ruger Single Six.
