I agree! Have a High Standard derringer in .22mag that the muzzle flash and report (not to mention zero accuracy), makes me wish I had thought it through and gotten the LR version.

But, .22 MAG!........Man!

Accuracy is so bad that I never threw good money after bad for the LR version. Strictly a contact weapon!

Cost of ammo, not to mention the higher cost of the revolvers chambered in .22mag, for not much better ballistics in short, snubby bbls, just made it not worth my while.

Do love my 2 M34-1s and M43C though.
