I only recently got my first decent .22 revolver. It's a Ruger LCRx with a 3" bbl. I've only put 1K rounds or so through it so far with probly tens of thousands of nightly dry fires.

Super heavy DA trigger, light gun...if I'm not on my game, this gun will definitely let me know. It has done a fair bit to help me improve my revolver skills. The trigger is becoming much smoother and lighter with use. I might become the first guy ever to call Ruger up and ask them to make my trigger heavy and gritty again.

Incidentally, my whole family and all my friends hate this poor lil guy. For me though, it's easily one of the funnest guns I own.

My 18 and my 22A are both excellent shooters. When my dad passes I'll get his Iver Johnson 6" target. I have to say again, that there is very little on this earth as fun as a .22 revolver and a pocket full of shells.

No picture exists but suffice to say I love to shoot 22 revolvers. The favorites are definitely 6" K-22's like this one from 1952.

Been a while since I owned a double action but I do enjoy firing rimfire out of a single action. I don't own anything fancy or expensive but they're still fun.

My 17 in the middle. I also have Ruger Single six. Both are super fun. The Ruger also shoots magnums which adds a little more fun.

I have one I inherited from my dad, but I've never shot it and it's still at my parents' house. When I get around to taking possession of it I'll probably take it out for a spin at the range.

Never really had an interest in .22 revolvers, though I do think it'd be nice to get a S&W 43C as a companion to my 642s.

Fun is what it's all about!!

I guess I could post my other 22 revolver. It's a S&W 35-1. I think it looks pretty awright for a 50 year old gun. It definitely shoots a darn sight better than my LCRx, but....for some weird reason, I like the crudeness of the Ruger.

 

[THE PILGRIM]

I have several.
This is probably my Fav.

In college, after qualifying for a pistol permit, all I could afford was a Ruger Old Model Single Six. Got a new one. Still have it and it will be the last to go.

Added many more variants as the years went by and I had a real job. As an oldster I finally got a K-22. The best one yet.

Last year I found a matched pair of Ruger Mavericks. Not the best, but an awesome pair to add tom my collection.

Have a couple, but my favorite is this 1932 H&R Model 199 Single Action. VERY accurate revolver.

I do kind of like .22 revolvers.

Nice group, D Brown.

Here are a couple of my favorites. A 4" 617-1 and 5.5" Single Six. I'd love to have J Frame 22, haven't caught up with one yet.

Everybody, and I mean everybody, needs at least one .22 revolver.

Skeeter Skelton said that his idea of a perfect trail gun was one that with 50 rounds of ammunition would make a package small enough and light enough that you were unaware of its presence until you needed it.

To me, that's a .22 revolver. It fits comfortably on the belt, or in a tackle box, or in your saddle bags without taking up much room.

Here are a few of mine that have seen plenty of action.

A little Ruger Bearcat.

Smith and Wesson Model 34-1

And of course, the Ruger Single Six.

 

[AzShooter]

Smith & Wesson 617

Heritage Rough Rider. Didn't need it but for the price I just had to take it homel

 

[MTC(SS)Ret]

I know it ain't a Smith, but my Ruger Single Ten is hopefully just the start of my collection.
