LCR .22LR. I actually shot it today.

I've had this LCR .22LR for over 3 years and haven't shot it at all except for a quick function check when I first got it. I finally took it out back and put a few rounds through it and I must say, I'm kinda impressed at the way it shoots.

Both targets were set at a measured 15 yards. Shooting in a standing position with a 2 hand grip and supported on top of a tripod. Left target is 40 rounds of CCI mini mags 36g. HP. counted 39 hits. Right target is 40 rounds of Aguila 38g. super extra HP. counted 40 hits. Shots were fired at a rate of somewhere around 1 second intervals.

* I found out that you have to make sure the trigger completely resets or the gun won't fire and you'll skip over a round.
* The trigger is Heavy, I understand why it's heavy but I also found it uncomfortable. The trigger has quite a curve to it and the lower end had a tendency to poke at the lower part of my trigger finger.
* Had no light primer strikes.
* The Aguila ammo was definitely snugger in the cylinder chambers and was harder to extract.
* I have to work on my grip, haven't figured that out yet.

I have had the 22.cal for years and can say that this is a gun you can shoot frequently. I mean a lot of ammo down range. The trigger will lighten up but more importantly you will get use to it. Because you shoot it so frequently, you will become extremely fast a precise. You will be doing fast shots on tin cans like it was nothing. If in combat you will be able to shoot 8 fast shots to the head and neck with that precision. There is no recoil. I have seen very few misfires. And usually with only cheap ammunition.
The gun is downright FUN to shoot and the more fun it is, the more you shoot it, the more you shoot it the faster and more precise you become.
The Ruger LCR22.cal WORTH EVERY NICKLE I paid.
When I was teaching my son through the years on shooting. I finally gave him a LCR22. Told him to learn to shoot this gun well and you will shoot any gun well. (and he can)
8 fast shots to the Face, mouth and neck is going to mess up anyone's day. I couldn't care less what the ballistic experts say.

I also like the little 22 snubnose revolvers, especially the lcr.
