Nostr

Hi nostr, its been a fun day, because we went to the farmers mkt and a good nursery, my two favorite things to do. And i just put some beef in the fridge to marinate, for a batch of jerky i'll be making tomorrow.

The weather got pretty warm today, then suddenly this afternoon we had a cool front blow through. I think the next couple nights will be chilly.

On another note, do any of you have a .22 LR revolver that you love? I'll be looking for one soon, just to carry around the property. I have a drawer full of semi autos in 9mm and .22, but i want a revolver now, with a 3-4 inch barrel, and not the cowboy style. Anyway, yall enjoy your evening. Stay happy, healthy, and free. #grownostr #homesteading #gunstr #countrylife

I have a heritage 22 revolver that’s not bad, it’s a single action western style though

I have a Taurus 10 shot 22 revolver with a 5 inch barrel. It fires in both single and double action. Generally I consider Taurus a budget brand but this gun has served me well for several years. It’s my EDC here on the homestead and has taken everything from rodents to putting down a full sized pig. I’m not sure they make the ten shot anymore, but they do make an eight shot and a nine shot.

Sounds nice, i need to see if they make that with a shorter barrel though. Thanks😊

Personally I admire the quality and craftsmanship of Smith & Wesson for revolvers. The model 63 has the shorter 3 inch barrel you are looking for, it is well known for reliability, and has adjustable sights. With a modest 8 round capacity.

Honestly though, if you don't mind me saying. Unless you plan on just plinking, or taking care of small pests. 22LR is not a caliber I would be trusting my life with if I would have to defend myself against anything bigger than a rattlesnake.

Sure it can do the job on larger animals and even humans with proper shot placement, but the actual bullet itself I have found never to be something truly reliable. I've experienced my fair share of light primer strikes. So I just consider it to be a fun cheap way to enjoy shooting at the home range. If that is what you are after than by all means. Go for a Smith & Weson Model 63 in 22lr.

However, if you want to have something with a little more power behind it, but still have very manageable recoil. Go for a 38 special, it is better for every day use. The Smith & Wesson Performance Center Pro Series Model 442 Moon Clip is one that I would recommend. That way you can have faster precision reloading with multiple 5 round moon clips in your pocket, you can take down mid-size predators easier, dispose of criminals, and still have fun with target practice too.

Please let me know if you have any questions. I love firearms and researching them. I would be more than happy to help in any way I can.
