How many of you jokers have .22s chambered for shorts only?
I am..........disturbed.

Not anymore. But I got a serious hankering for one of those little discontinued Browning Autoloaders in .22 short only. 🤠

Nope. Just a 581 that'll shoot 'em.
Used to shoot a bunch of them back when they were $.59 a box and LRs about a buck.
Somebody gave me two old boxes of Remingtons (green and red box) years ago. Need to put them out on display someplace.
What fresh Hell is this?

Does a Hämmerli target pistol qualify?
I do have a Rem 581 that has a carbon ring in a Long Rifle chamber.
Gun Shows are almost as comical as boat ramps in the Spring.

M24 Remington, early one, too. The first half of the bore is pretty much non-existent, but it doesn't matter when you shoot coons at contact distance.
You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.

I have a Win 74. Kinda heavy and clunky for what it is, but it shoots all day long with a full mag of shorts. Put CBs in it and she is pretty quiet too. ![[Linked Image]](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xXXTPqZw3cU/Vv6xpJwwhGI/AAAAAAAAT3c/dzvttA2chWsttTl00tUgOLPUkoI8MdFOA/s640/IMG_1915.JPG)

I have this old thing. It's a great shooter with CCI target loads. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/hjtqBRxt/IMG-4488.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/G2gn3gJJ/IMG_4489.jpg)

Praise be unto the heavens, I am not alone!  Don't know when things went weird in the world of gun makers, perhaps when the marketing "experts" got involved? Life for our generation, the younger life, was replete with shooting galleries at the fairs and amusement parks. I recall a lot of Winchester pump rifles at those venues and from time to time I actually won something! Can't imagine a better training vehicle for a youngster than a short shooter. My brother passed a Rem 572 to me many moons ago that digested all .22 RF ammo and I got to say it whacked many pests with CB shorts. It was the only "I'll eat any ammo." repeater that I ever used that shot the shorts well. His son holds it these days but I imagine it is collecting dust for the most part. I tried a used Browning auto back in the '80s but it did not function properly and it went back to the seller soon after. Disappointed I was. Anyway, some time passed and I got my Loony Diploma and purchased a Contender back in '98 with the specific intent of shooting squill with shorts. I could not have imagined where that would lead in time, but I've learned more about shooting/hunting with that gun than all the rest combined. I know you all have seen my target pictures so I won't bother posting those again. Paper, pigs, squill or other bothersome pests, there doesn't seem to be a problem it can't fix. It also gives the grandkids the giggles every time they visit. Production guns that fired the short ammo seem to have vanished around the time the 10/22 showed up. I recall there was a conversion available to make the 10/22 a short shooter, but why'n hell didn't they make a factory production model? Hey Bill, I'm talking to YOU! Wake up Remington! Winchester! And all the rest of you dummies! The .22 short....first production metallic cartridge gun in America....our history and foundation. There ain't no better tool for young shooters and savvy small game hunters. And ya, they can be absurdly accurate when shot from a proper chamber. Any of you ever try any of the European short match ammo?
I am..........disturbed.

I have a win 1890 chambered for shorts only. I have one of those old classics, but it's a .22 WRF shooter. Still going strong a century later.

I have a Hi-Standard "Flite King" w/4 1/2" barrel. Fun to shoot!
Had a Colt "Lightning" .22 pump. Until I found out what a Colt collector would pay for it....

I've got a NAA mini revolver in 22 short.
I bought it for a small backup.
This is the smallest one NAA makes
Have owned 'em in 22LR and 22 mag. but like this little one the best.
I've been known to pack it in a T shirt pocket. It's my "get the F*** off me" gun.
