re: .22 hand gun question

I have a heritage revolver with .22lr and .22wmr cylinders. It stays in a leather holster that wanders around in my truck, including on the floor board, between the seats, and pretty much anywhere it can collect dust/debris. One time I pulled it out to shoot a possum in the driveway and a mcdonalds french fry fell out the holster. Still shot. I've been on a tractor for days with it on my hip only to have it completely covered in dust and leaves. Still shoots every time. It's in no way the quality of a ruger or browning, but it shoots just fine and was about $110

I have a Browning Challenger II I picked up in the 70's worked over by Steinberg's gun smith...
smooth and accurate to this day...

Ruger Mark III with threaded barrel and a suppressor. Most fun backyard plinker hunting pistol.

I have a H&R Model 929, 9 shot revolver that I bought around 1978. Have had zero issues with it. It’s perfect for what you mentioned.

I've got the H&R model 676, it's the 6 shot model but also came with a .22 magnum cylinder. It's great, super accurate. I gave a couple hundred bucks for it about a year ago, in the original box with all the manuals and instructions and original receipt. Somebody bought it new in 1981 at western auto for 104 bucks.
My brother bought one of the Heritage Rough Rider .22 models a few months back that also has 2 cylinders with it. It cost less than 200 bucks, and is a decent little gun for plinking.
I remember looking at those Heritage models a few years ago and I thought they were pretty crappy. They have definitely improved on them, and kept the price down.

I strapped on a Ruger Mark III this morning. I wear it every weekend while at the farm to take care of armadillos and groundhogs.

Figure out which ammo you will be using. Then read which guns like what ammo. 22lr has some of the most inconstancy of any round ever. Good powered rounds will cycle on any gun. Inconsistent rounds will only cycle on certain guns.

I would say buckmark or better option Ruger Ii or iii and if your using ammo that won't cycle I those guns then that's crap ammo bit will still shoot just have to manually chamber a round after every shot...not ideal but it still goes bang.

If you don't like that get a revolver Ruger single 10 round cylinder, s&w 617 a 10 round cylinder. Some others.

Cool thing abutthe revolvers to no is you can get 22mag cylinders so do your research and deside if you want something with lower capacity, that can shoot 2 calibers pretty quickly, or something that I don't have to worry about using two hands to cycle cheap ammo in an emergency or what ever, or do u want to be able to load 10+ rounds at a time in seconds with a mag change and not have to Google with a pocket full of bullets

I love my $199 Ruger Wrangler revolver.

my old Colt Frontier Scout is very similar

everyone in the family loves to shoot it

I have the H&R revolver as well no it sure is reliable and shoots straight.

Buckmark...can't go wrong. Steer clear of the sw victory

Really need CCI snake shot.
