    .22LR / .22 mag Conversion Revolver?

    Looking for such, preferably one with both wheels holding 8 or more rounds and on roster if possible. Really wouldn't have to be a revolver, but I assume this would be the quickest system for conversation (priority feature.) Any current handgun fit this description?

    AFAIK...
    All of the currently available .22LR/.22Magnum conversion revolvers have a cylinder capacity of 6.

      I have been looking for about a year. I am not in a hurry to buy, it is on my wish list. I have even looked at C&R options and so far I have only seen cylinder capacity of 6.
      Anyone can look around and see the damage to the state and country inflicted by bad politicians.

      A vote is clearly much more dangerous than a gun.

      Why advocate restrictions on one right (voting) without comparable restrictions on another (self defense) (or, why not say 'Be a U.S. citizen' as the requirement for CCW)?

        High Standard used to make a model, Double Nine Convertible, that was a double action, nine shot capacity, with both 22LR and magnum cylinders. Nice little revolver if you can find one. I have one myself but unfortunately, it didn’t have the magnum cylinder when I got it.

        If you do go looking for one, make sure it has both cylinders because it’s unlikely you’ll find just the replacement cylinder.

          There are a couple 22LR/22WMR revolvers in 6 round - Ruger $$ and Heritage $. Single actions are exempt from CA roster.
          Won't find a semiauto thats convertible - too many differences: chamber size, slide travel, recoil spring, magazine.

            Taurus 992 is a convertible 22/22mag that holds 9 rounds. Only two problems: one, it's off-roster and two, it's a Taurus.

              story makes 8 round 22wmr and 22lr replacement cylinders for the ruger single six. for sale on midway.com for about $130, they work fine.

                  Ruger single 10 doesn't have a dual mag?
                  TURNING and turning in the widening gyre
                  The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
                  Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
                  Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
                  The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
                  The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
                  The best lack all conviction, while the worst
                  Are full of passionate intensity.

                    I wish mine came with a .22 mag. cylinder.

                    The Single Nine is the .22 mag. version of the Single Ten.

                      Found S&W 48 Revolver .22 Mag 4in for sale. ON roster, only 6 in the wheel .. and expensive. I wonder if there is a 22lr wheel that will work with this gun?

                        I suppose you could track down a Smith 17 cylinder and have it fitted.

                        Here's a Single 9 with 22 lr and 22 WMR cylinders:

                            Suggest the RUGER Super (Target Sights) Single-Six in 5.5".

                            A coupla on-board rounds is not worth missing it.
