IMO a short barrel 22 revolver is limited to very specific uses. I'd love a NAA 22 revolver simply because of its miniscule size but wouldn't think of it as my first 22 or my first revolver. My recommendation is to think of what you are wanting to do with it. for most situations, some of the Heritage or Ruger Wrangler revolvers, would be a better choice.RK has a revolver chambered in 22lr. it seems to have a very short barrel. Just wondering about the applications it would have with such a short barrel? Seems like limit d to plinking? Also seems like having any degree of accuracy may be a challenge?
Thanks
You can catch a Ruger wrangler on sale for a pretty good price. As far as the Heritage arms, Roughriders, the 6 1/2 inch barrel version is on sale at RK fairly often. I have one in my safe, it’s definitely not a Smith & Wesson, but for plinking and introducing a newbie to firearms, it is an excellent gun.RK has a revolver chambered in 22lr. it seems to have a very short barrel.

Yeah it really does not have an intended use I guess it’s more of a would like to have thing.I don't know that a .22 snub is good for anything at all. What is your intended use? I'd want at least a 3" barrel on any .22 revolver. Like what used to be called a "kit" gun. Would be handy for just knocking around the homestead.
Something like this is really cool. But $$$

If you want something inexpensive, but fun and useful, get yourself a Ruger Wrangler.

Kind of leaning towards the Ruger, just because i have always been very pleased with their offerings I have purchased.You can catch a Ruger wrangler on sale for a pretty good price.

That’s what I was wondering, seems like velocity would be hindered out of a short barrel ?I have the Ruger SP101 in .22. It is a 4.2 inch and I dont think I would want one shorter than that.
I guess it just caught my eye and made me think well I do not have a single revolver. Seems like perhaps a good idea for inexpensive shooting and letting someone learn to shoot.IMO a short barrel 22 revolver is limited to very specific uses.

Can't tell if you are interested in purchasing this revolver or if you are confused as to it's usefulness. For the latter, likely many would agree. If interested, before being able to offer any suggestions, we would need to understand your use cases.
(use cases... Fishing box gun w/ alternating shake shot, and stinger loads. glove box guns for rodent/wild dog dispatching, etc.)

That is one of the things that has always made me avoid revolvers. I definitely need to learn a little more about them.I say go for it. It's good cheap fun. Don't shoot with your hand on the side of the cylinder.
Simply catching your eye is a valid reason for purchasing a gun.. even if you never shoot it. I'd guess most of the guns bought by collectors are never fired.Yeah it really does not have an intended use I guess it’s more of a would like to have thing.
Admittedly I do like Ruger.
