S&W K22/ Model 17. You won’t have to worry about feeding issues or the gun cycling.

I've been a big fan of the ruger mark IV for a long time, tons of mods, lot of fun, but this just dropped at SHOT and looks fantastic

I carry one of the smallest revolvers in the world. It has a folding handle. As you can see, it's almost the same length as my pocket knife when folded up. 5 shots

22s are notorious for ammo issues.

You can either spend a lot of cci mini mags, or deal with it.

If you’re buying Remington thunderbolt, get a revolver.

making me question... I've only ever messed with a rifle as far as 22s go. bolt action

but .22 so fun and cheap to shoot

might be good practice cycling/clearing too though

My Ruger 10-22 will cycle anything except for quiet/surpressed ammunition.

Something about there not being enough gas to eject the cartridge

I mentioned it because the ppk in .380 is kinda pointless with hellcats and 365s. .22 is good enough to have fun plinking with

But that being said, the ruger mark iv is a pretty good choice

Can a 22 pistol kill a 6ft 200lb deer?
Balding is death. If you have no hair, you have no life.
