Protektor. Used to have a set, but they eventually wore out or were cut by revolver gas. After futzing around for a couple of decades with cheapos and homemade, I found filled ones on Amazon. Very nice stuff, and not that expensive. You only go around once, unless you’re a Buddhist.

There is no good reason to not own a 22.
I shoot between 2 and 3 cases of 22 ammo every year, thats between 10,000 and 15,000 rounds so you can say that I am a fan of 22's. When the ground squirrels are up I am out chasing them two or three times a week usually shoot 350 to 500 rounds per day at them, try that with a centerfire and you will be worn out at the end of the day, and also have spent a lot of money.
22's give more smiles than any other firearm available and do it inexpensively - what more can be asked of them. My first firearm was a 22 rifle and I suspect that the last firearm I own will be a 22 rifle.

exactly AND any one can shoot, sissy's that don't know why to own one

Almost every time I go shoot I have a .22 of sometypeorother with me. Shoot whatever my focus is, then grab the rimfire and put 10 rds through it.
Breaks up the day. Keeps the rifle cooler. "saves" me monies.
And GREAT for the kids to learn with. As a kid I put thousands and thousands of rounds through .22s. Put a real hurting on a local farmers muskrat population in his three ponds too.
Carried them on trap lines, lots of squirrels, a few rabbits. Coon hunting,
I love .22s! -Jake

Strolling through the desert w/ a 10/22 is good exercise and lots of fun.

Training. Nothing like a grand kid with a .22 Rifle or pistol. I might need another one. 6 Grand's. What Wyo says---Exactly. I've always had 22's both rifles, revolvers, and auto pistols. Taught my sons to shoot with them. Now I'm teaching my 4 grandkids and its got me back into shooting 22s myself. I hasn't been cheap, So far I've bought 2 Chipmunks and 1 left handed Savage Rascal and got 1 more to go for the youngest one. My daughter-in-laws are now getting into 22 pistols, one of them who didnt grow up shooting loves it now. It's been a blast.
