I think a .22 revolver is a great thing to have and also the 'muh kit gun' thing but it's kind of a lousy gun. It rattles, horribly heavy (I know why but still) and inconsistent trigger, that and the small hammer make SA unpleasant. Should have just bought a Wrangler for half the price and painted the front sight.

If it shoots it’s not useless.

Won’t you feel stupid if you find yourself in a situation where the only solution would be an NAA revolver, and you didn’t have one?

Probably the gun I wanted most, until I had it, was the browning BL-22.

Had to have it. Shot it for about a month and it’s in the safe ever since.

Set it up at the range, and it's a full blown attention magnet.

Mine is.

I have several straight up range toys.

And they're not USELESS, they're RANGE TOYS.
