"Use it??? Casual target shooting at a range some. Shooting paper targets at an outdoor range some. Maybe plinking. Sitting in the safe and being mine mostly."
A good,honest answer.
"What about the .22 convertibles?"
If yer talking 22 LR vs 22 MAGNUM ,in a revolver.........Lose that Idea.....
Ohh, I own a 22 magnum rifle...love it,...........but in the short barrel of a handgun, the .22 magnum not efficient.
Sounds like ya want to enter the .22 long rifle round handgun world.
Prolly about to piss off a few members,but......
The reasons ya described ...Ya might wanna consider a RUGER Mark series,semi-auto rimfire instead.
Owned a stainless SUPER SIX model........1 cylinder .22 long rifle, other .22 magnum..
A very fun gun......but 22 magnums need a rifle barrel to burn the powder.
Unburned powder in a handgun,not accuracy friendly.
The .22Long rifle MARK 1 is the gun that started RUGER.
And to this day, in my opinion,the MARK series is still one of the more accurate,most reliable handguns .22's ever made.
Of course....Just one guy's opinion.

I thought the S&W 617 was a bit expensive
