I have decided I would like a .22 mag revolver probably a 2" looking for suggestions. The Taurus 941 and the S4W 317 are at the top of the list. any others to consider
looking for input Thanks |
| Kind of a harsh response, sorry, but I had a 4" Black Widow .22 mag and it was awful. The unburned powder would sandblast my hands and the noise was incredible for a rimfire. You need at least 6" of barrel for the mag to make it worth while. Over at Rimfirecentral there are threads with velocities from short mags, you should really do a thorough search before you buy. |

I want to use this for a HD gun for the wife. She is not consistent with the .38 I have for her now. Perhaps I will look at a snub .22lr using a higher grain bullet Don't take this wrong, but I wouldn't blame the ammo/recoil. That won't fix the problem. While a .22lr may enable more "trigger time" she would likely benefit more from lots and lots of dry-firing. Most likely she is shooting poorly and has bad shooting habits. Hint: Change the gun's grip.

Hint: Change the gun's grip.
Excellent point. A nice big Pachmayr 'Gripper' grip and some 147 grain HBWC .38 spl. ammo will do wonders for the inexperienced shooter. if you can afford a rimfire that is the same size as the .38, that's an awesome trainer too. Dry firing is great, but there's no substitute for live fire. Good luck. |
