:lol:

I didn't know there was a mob pushing on the gates begging for a varmint gun that weighs 5lbs loaded. That"s all, I will now step down off my soap box.

I don't think there is either, but I still want one because it is unique. When Ruger made the single shot .256 Mg. on what looked like a single action frame, I made fun of it. Now they are going for $2000 and up for a nice one. It may be as worthless as the tits on a boar hog, but is is gonna be a very scarce item when my kids sell it. :lol:

For those wanting an annoyingly loud 22 centerfire revolver there's always the S&W Model 53 in 22 Jet - also known by the barrel stamp of "22 Magnum" since Smith calls the rimfire a "22 WMR". It's not as bad as the Blackhawk in 30 Carbine, close though. And you can buy inserts to use 22lr for casual plinking.

I just picked up a 6" Model 53 for $800.00 because as is often the case "no one wants a 22 centerfire pistol".

The 8 3/8" version makes more sense and is a bit quieter.
