Hand gun for cheap .22lr ammo.

[Vonderek]

The Taurus 94 is a good cheap gun for practice, especially if you normally carry a DA revolver in a bigger caliber for SD. If I haven't been to the range in a while I usually take the Taurus and run a box or two of .22 through it just to knock the rust off my trigger control before I move on to the .38 & .357 J-Frames and Rugers. It makes practice more cost effective.

I have an older s&W k frame revolver that holds 6 rounds of 22lr. It is dead reliable in every way except one...

Cheap dirty ammo clogs up the mechanicals fast and the cylinder locks up. It's a very tight fitting revolver and very accurate. But if you are going to shoot cheap crappy ammo, you have to clean it thoroughly every 25 rounds or so or it wont work. As long as you keep cleaning it, no problems.

A ruger or colt woodsman doesn't seem to clog up as fast.

Maybe if you had a revolve that wasn't so tight fitting, the problem wouldn't happen.

I have a smith 22a and it eats anything. The only thing it wont eject is ratshot which is no suprise. I have been very happy

Sometimes cheap ammo dosent go bang, it cant be blamed on the gun.
All my rimfires have been 100% reliable but my ammo hasnt, I dont think any rimfire can "reliably" shoot cheap ammo.
It might only be 1 or 2 out of a brick but it happens.

My Ruger MK II likes most of the cheap stuff including teh Federal and Remington bulk stuff.
