Most of my collection was bought as used shooters, and they all still work. Would you mind telling me what you like about 22 Mag? I hope you enjoy it many safe years.

Good for you. A nine shot 22 mag sounds like lots of fun. Looks great.

Good for you! I've wanted one of those since I used to shoot one in the basement of the gun shop I worked in on my lunch hour in the 70s. An underappreciated gem.
Even in a short barreled revolver, the .22 mag has about a 300 ft/sec advantage over .22 LR ammo. This revolver will be used for walking the dogs at night and a ranch gun here in TN. Coyotes at night and snakes by day (rattlers and Copperheads) will be the main reasons.

A nice find. Those rarely turn up for sale in my area.
That's got to be cheaper than the 351 PD I bought a couple of years back. And I bought it for the same reason! I'm happy with my S&W for sure, but I would have loved to run across one of those at half the price! And two more rounds!
Congratulations! I like it a lot!

No cylinder latch. Pull out ejector rod slightly, cylinder pushes open
Love those. I had one many years ago with a slightly longer barrel and it was a very handy handgun. Mine did have sticky chambers causing difficult extraction. I polished it but this was before I knew how easy it was to get a finishing reamer and doing it right.

A magnum at night from a 2 inch barrel. You need to hit that coyote with the first one, because you're going to be flash blinded for about the next 10 minutes.
