I have one, and I love it. I'm not a target shooter, but I can tell you it's very accurate; if I miss what I'm shooting at, it's my fault.

As mentioned, it will handle any .22 ammo you care to shoot (except WMR or WRF, of course). I shoot CBs in mine all the time.

The stock grips are a wee bit small for me, but a spare set of Pachmayr Grippers I had lying around fixed that problem.

These revolvers are hard to find in my neck of the woods; the dealer I bought mine from several months ago still hasn't been able to get a replacement.

I'll add that I was originally looking for a 3" version, as I thought the 5" barrel was too long. After shooting this one for a while I'm very glad I couldn't find the snubbier model. The extra sight radius makes a big difference, as does the extra weight at the muzzle. It's an ideal trail gun in my book.
