Ricci et al.

OK some think the Herritage single action 22 is made of pot metal and not a quality piece.  Given that may be, what other inexpensive single action 22's would you guys recommend?   Accuracy isn't priority #1 but staying in one piece when firing is.  I'm too old and poor for a hospital stay.

    Ricci the bullets are the same diameter but the case of the 22wmr is larger in diameter than the 22lr.  A 22lr will fit in the cylinder of a 22wmr and fire but it will split. The 22wmr will not fit in the cylinder of the 22lr because it is larger in diameter and obviously longer too.

    I'm getting a good education on the quality of 22 revolvers here with this post!  I know my little High Standard Double Nine has been a very dependable plinker for all the fun I have had out in my backyard range.  I bought it from a buddy a little over a year ago for a whopping 125 bucks and the little pistol looked like it wasn't shot much.

    I like the fact that I get 9 shots and my accuracy keeps on improving the more time I spend with it depleting my 22LR stash!

    I haven't had much experience with the Double Nine, but if HS built it then it's quality. I know the double action Sentinel revolver much better. It was designed by a guy named Harry Sefried, a HS designer who came up with some good stuff. Your gun should have a small rectangular cut  by each cylinder. They were put there so the gun could be safely dry fired without having the firing pin slam into the cylinder there by peening it and inducing misfires.

    Ruger made the super bear cat with 22 mag cylinder, that's why.

    You are right Sir. I have never seen or remember reading about them but apparently Ruger did produce a small number of Bearcats in 1993 with both cylinders and then recalled all of the mag cylinders. You have to understand I was just a wee child in 1993, much too young to be handling firearms. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

    Dang you are a pup.
    Super bear cats with extra cylinder are rare and price reflects that. Have found a few on line for buyers.
    Most were recalled and magnum cylinders were kept  by Ruger. Hard to pin down the exact reason for the recall.
