22 Camping Pistol

Save your money and buy a kit gun, preferably a Model 34-1, with a 4" barrel and chambered for the .22LR. It's a lifetime investment. I've had mine 50 years.

I love my S&W 22A, 7". Bought it in 1999 and probably have 25 to 30,000 rounds through it. It swallows the cheap Wally World bricks with no complaint. Added the target grips and Barska Red Dot scope a fews years back. Reliable and lots of fun to shoot.

I like the 63 also, stainless with ajustable sights, only mine's a 2"

I own a few .22 Auto's also, but never thought of them as Camp Guns.

+1 on the M63 if you can find one. It is a very handy little revolver.
