The .22 rimfire: the most popular cartridge of all time. Millions of guns sold in that caliber, billions of rounds produced. More people own a .22 than any other caliber by far.

So let's show our .22 handguns! I will start with mine.


Of these single action revolvers, the top one is a 6 1/2" Heritage Rough Rider with a custom frame; the next one is the same but with a 4 3/4" barrel; and the bottom one is the tried and true workhorse: my Ruger Single Six convertible stainless .22 sporting a 5" barrel.



These semi-autos are, clockwise from top: a Beretta 92FS with an Optima 2000 Red Dot sight in a custom mount; a Browning 1911-22 model commemorating John M. Browning wearing a J-Point Red Dot sight in a custom mount; and the last one is also a Browning 1911-22 called the "Black Label."
