It's fun to shoot but can get expensive 22lr is much cheaper and they are a dime a dozenYes, there is an ammunition forum. But this isn't strictly ammo-related. More like application. Moderators, feel free to move it.
My question is, what do most "gun" people think of .22 Magnum?
Lately, I bought a .22 WMR revolver basket case, it was $105 and presented a hobby challenge for me. I figured I already had the few missing parts. So last night, I got it together. After educating myself at Youtube University because this model has the guts that load through the bottom. I got it up and running, took it to the range today, it was so-so but functional. Of course, I didn't have any .22 Mag ammo, so I stopped at Sportsman's Warehouse on the way to the range and got 50 shots for $19. (with tax) something. Which I think is pretty typical. But for taking to the range and plinking away, say, 100 rounds, that's near $40. Good enough little gun for holding up liquor stores and gas stations, I guess.
So what do others think about the utility of .22 Mag, especially in a handgun? Is it of any practical use?

I think its the best rimfire caliber but its ammo is overly expensive for its rimfire class. Far more versatile for its class than the LR version but not enough to make the ammo cost worth plinking on the level of the LR version.So what do others think about the utility of .22 Mag, especially in a handgun?

Try a Diamond Sidekick with birds head gripsMy wish they made it but they don't is a Henry barkeep, 3 1/2 inch 9 shot .22wmr
As mentioned but correct link to a Barkeep style. I Have the 4" plow handle style and like it alot. They're based on the old Hi standard double nines from the 60's. You get 3" barrel, nine rounds of 22mag or 22lr, and the birdhead grip along with swingout cylinder for faster reloading and double/single action.My wish they made it but they don't is a Henry barkeep, 3 1/2 inch 9 shot .22wmr. maybe someday
