.22 WMR supply

I have proof they once made it.

I have heard from some of the retailers that the manufactures are trying to turn out .22LR to catch up and are not producing the other .22 types such as mag, bird shot, shorts etc. Just what I heard. And I didn't hear it on the internet, so it might not be true.

Have three .22 Magnum revolvers, and had a deuce of a time finding sufficient ammo with which to practice. Needed enough ammo to at least get a feel for the 'aimpoint' of the guns, which all have fixed sights.
One is a 7-shot S&W 351PD w/single/double action, while the other two are 5-shot NAA Mini-Magnums w/single action (one is a Conversion model with both LR and Magnum cylinders). Adding to my frustration at the lack of availability of .22 Mag ammo is the fact I have two speed loaders for the S&W piece, but cannot practice much with them because I'm trying to stretch my meager supply of ammo.

I paid through the nose over a year ago for 500 rounds of .22 Magnum ammo because there was only one source online (or anywhere) which offered it for sale. The price was almost pure robbery, but I HAD to have ammo or else bronze my revolvers and put them on the fireplace mantlepiece as displays, so I paid the price. That is the meager supply which I am nursing along until there is more supply available.

I can only hope that whoever is the original cause of these shortages has his (or her) 'karma' come back to bite him in the behind, and that I get wind of this psychic payback. It would be poetic justice.

You could get a left handed model?!?!?

Yes, the Savage 93 comes in left hand versions and both calibers.
