Did S&W ever produce a c. 2” barrel fixed sight Chief’s Spl J frame .22LR w/ a capacity of more than 6 ? I’m aware of the Mdl 317 snub, but my knowledge stops there.

Thank you. Any limitations on loads I need to know about other than “If I want a Magnum, buy a Magnum” ? Limit the Buffalo Bore wadcutters ?
