My kit gun, is a Ruger Single Six stainless, 5.5 inch barrel with a 22 lr and 22 mag cylinder. The 22 Mag cylinder is used 90 % of the time. Since it seems to be measurable step up in horsepower compared to the 22 lr. I carry it when G-hog hunting for the close shots that come up from time to time. My best/luckiest shot was at lased 42 yds. at a perched pigeon on an old farm out building. Bang, plop. I could never do that two times in a row.. I like the versatility of that combo.
