If I were to get another dedicated .22 mag a Ruger LCRx with the 3" barrel would get the nod.

This is my first .22 mag that's ridden in my pocket during snake season the past 25 years or so. Other than my .327 Fed pistols this has to be the loudest.

Bought my wife a single-six convertible with a 6 1/2" barrel 30 plus years ago and mine is the same length Old Model .22 Mag only that's the same age as me. My father-in-law snuffed a wolf (domesticated) that a dumbass women thought would be sporting to let them-she had two, chase cows and calves around the family summer range ranch. It was the only gun he had with him and he tried to nail him with the F-150 but the mag out the window did the trick.
