Very interesting numbers here, especially in .22 revolver sales.

"In 2020, the number of up to .22-cal. revolvers manufactured (597,014) constituted 60 percent of all revolvers manufactured (993,077)."

And the chart above is only new sales, not used.

If that's true about.22 revolvers they must be going out the door the same day. I can never find S&W in stock.

.22 revolvers lead! Shocking, actually. I'd have guessed 9mm pistols.

I wonder if someone messed up distinguishing between pistol/revolver? FWIW
I saw what others have seen in print but . . .

I see a lot of new inexpensive single-action .22 revolvers for sale. I can’t recall the last time I saw a new S&W .22 revolver for sale, other than the recent production Model 48s.
