Swamper said:I am not picky. I would even accept a "lowly" six shooter SP101 with adjustable sights, half shroud, chambered in 22 magnum. I think they would also be well advised to bring one out in a 5.5 or 6 inch barrel version as well. The older I get, the more I am thinking that the heavy hitters I embraced in my youth will be less seen on my dance card. Much can be done with the 22LR and the 22 magnum.

I'm not doubting Ruger in that I'm sure they'd love to sell a boatload of SP101 22 Magnums. What I do fund surprising is that Ruger over-engineers their DA revolvers, SA not relevant to the thread. The 22 magnum has a SAAMI pressure of roughly 23k and the 32 magnum about 21k. 2k more pressure can stretch the frame?chet15 said:...is that shooting the .22 mag. was found to stretch the frame.

Apparently not. He asked the question 3 1/2 years ago. LOL

What guns would those be that have a .222 bore that also shoot 22 magnums? None that I know of. The newer Bearcats have a .224 bore.diyj98 said:Yes, it could. It's been done with various revolvers for years. Although I'm sure there is a slight pressure increase, the 22WMR bullets go through the 22LR diameter bores just fine. Several places do the conversion on the Bearcats.
