.22 magnum in revolvers...are they something to consider

LSP issued the High Standard .22 mag derringer during the 70s-80s. Shooting them at night was always kinda cool, especially followed by .357.

Worthless little gun but it did fit in a pocket OK, and many troopers actually carried them as a backup. I’m aware of more than one ND as a result of the lack of a trigger guard.

The only reason I had one is that I got it for $25. I cannot imagine an ND though, because mine had what felt like a 30 pound trigger. Whether it was the way they drilled the bores or the shitty trigger I could not get two hits close together at anything but very close range. It was loud though.

Yep, 30 lb sounds right. The NDs were primarily from shoving in a boot or back pocket without a holster covering the open trigger.

About the NAA Minis - they love to shoot the bullets sideways into a target. Not always but common enough. The new breaktop ones are cute but not cute enough to buy IMHO. I'm sticking with the one I got for half the price, way back when for a tertiary bug, if at all.

In Birmingham back in 1990, 2 utes went into a barber shop to rob it. While overly engaged in threatening the manager, a 70 years old customer stood up behind them and, well executed both of them. He was using an old .22 WMR Hi Standard derringer.
It made me chuckle.

I guess that's really the point I was trying to make.

Then I agree with you 100% and apologize for not seeing it as you were pointing it out.

I recently went to a store and picked up a Ruger LCR. Took it shooting and fell in love with the trigger! Easiest trigger I have ever felt on a revolver. Not expensive, great trigger! I love .22! As an EMT I once witnessed an autopsy of a guy shot with a .22. I will forever have respect for the round! Look into it before buying. In my opinion, its a great carry revolver.
