I have a few rimfires to play with. Most are S&W and Rugers, but I won’t discriminate against any fun plinker that crosses my path
...
DA revolvers:
Taurus 941 .22 Mag
Taurus 94 .22 LR
S&W Model 17-3 .22 LR
S&W Model 18-4 .22 LR
S&W Model 48-4 .22 Mag
S&W Model 34 .22 LR
S&W Model 317 .22 LR:,
SA revolvers and Autos:
Ruger Single-six convertible .22 Mag/.22 LR
Iver Johnson TP-22 .22 LR
Ruger Mk II Govt Model .22 LR
Ruger Standard .22 LR
Ruger Wrangler .22 LR
SIG Sauer Mosquito .22 LR
10” upper for Ruger Mk IV .22 LR
5.5” upper on a Ruger Mk IV .22 LR
And one final one, a Monson, MA. Dan Wesson .22 LR with a 6” V and 4” VH barrel set:
I love me some rimfires. Every time I i shoot I try to warm up with one to solidify my shooting process before breaking out a centerfire.
In a perfect world, I seriously believe a .22 LR should be the first handgun every new gun owner buys to learn the fundamentals. (I understand there may be financial limits or gun-purchase regulations that may not make that possible.)
Once the basics are down pat, then I think it’s time to graduate and buy a centerfire auto or revolver.
Stay safe.
