Let's get this debate started. Which is the most practical: .22lr revolver or semi-auto pistol?

In the house?

Not this time....

Same as in post #61, but no silencer today.

Got to break in a new one yesterday.

How do you aim the little guy?
Sight covered up Yes?

yeah, the sights are covered up. But hey, I can aim it just fine. After all, it's not a long-distance proposition. That bad boy gets used on nuisance pests in the backyard and such.

Even though my AA conversion works without a hitch I would go revolver. Easier to carry more ammo

How do you carry ammo for your revolver?

I had a PMR-30 when they started coming out and read about the CMR and anxiously waited for it, but it took them to long and .22 mag isn't as cost affective as it use to be so I sold it off. Still want to shoot one of those. Cool little carbine!

I re-use CCI 100-rd plastic cases. They work well and fit in your pocket so easily. Loading one at a time for a revolver (especially single-action) is what it is, and what it is is S L O W.

But couldn't one carry their ammo the same way for a semi-auto?
Why would it be easier?

I just drop a handful of rounds in my pocket. Doesn't really matter what I'm shooting.

It's easier no matter what .22LR handgun you're carrying.

I'm actually hoping for leadslinger to chime in.
That is who my comment was directed towards.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say he means that one can carry two or three loaded mags and that, in addition to the full mag in the pistol, constitutes "more ammo" at the ready than you can carry for a revolver. It's a comment that simply recognizes the relative ease of reloading by changing mags versus shucking shells from a revolver or, even worse, from a single-action revolver with a loading gate.

Except, he said it was easier to carry ammo for a revolver., that is the reason I asked in the first place.

I want a Ruger bearcat 22lr.

 

[jkingrph]

I have my old S&W K 22 bought very slightly used back in 1970, and a M 41 semi auto, with two barrel sight sets. a 7 1/2 long barrel that is extremely accurate and a shorter 5" that makes it feel more like a Colt 1911. Since I have a two magazine belt pouch I would prefer the M41 with the short barrel for field use, mainly for reloading ease plus ten rounds vs 6. I would not feel undergunned or ad a disadvantage with either.

Me too, but that is offset by the cost for a .22 revolver.
