I’ve had the opposite experience, the revolver is surprisingly light for a .22 and I can shoot it all day without discomfort. Maybe it’s the grip size that varies from user to user?
Well said! I feel like I could shoot this all day too, even with full loads. What do you think about the recoil?
I find the recoil very manageable. It’s smooth, which is why I enjoy taking my kids to the range. They can easily handle it, and the weight does help keep it steady.

Agreed! My kids are comfortable with it too. They like how it feels when they shoot, which makes it a great family gun for training. Has anyone tried any upgrades on the grips?
I did swap out the grips for some aftermarket ones. Enhanced my grip comfort significantly! But honestly, the stock grip is pretty solid too if you ask me.
That’s good to hear! I’ve been hesitant to switch. Any specific aftermarket grips that you recommend?
I went with Hogue grips. They fit my hand perfectly! It feels more secure, especially after a few rounds. I’m curious though, has anyone tried it out for self-defense?
I wouldn’t recommend it for that purpose. While it’s a fun shooter, I feel it’s more suited for target practice than self-defense situations.
Just to throw in some humor, if I ever get into a gunfight with a .22 revolver, I’d need a miracle! It’s definitely more of a plinker, right?

Haha! Exactly! But hey, it’s perfect for fun at the range and building skills. I appreciate hearing everyone’s experience here!
I’ve owned the Ruger 22 Mag Revolver 10-shot for a few months now. It’s a solid revolver with decent accuracy for its size. The 10-shot capacity is a big plus compared to others in the category.

Absolutely agree! I’ve found it to be very reliable for plinking and small game. How does it compare in weight to other 22 Mag revolvers?

Weight is definitely manageable! It’s lighter than some competitors like the Taurus 941. Ergonomic grip makes it easy to handle. What do you think about its pricing? It sits around $600 which feels right for the quality.
I think the price is fair, considering the build quality and features. Other similar options, like the Smith & Wesson Model 317, can be pricier. I’m very satisfied with my purchase so far!
It’s great to hear you’re satisfied! I wonder how it performs in terms of user satisfaction compared to models like the Ruger SP101 in .22.
User satisfaction has been high for the Ruger 22 Mag. Many users appreciate its reliability and ease of use, especially for beginners. It’s designed with plinking in mind.
That’s a big selling point. Have you all had any issues with misfires or jams? I’ve read mixed reviews on that aspect.
I haven’t encountered any jams, but I’ve heard some users report occasional misfires with certain brands of ammo. It’s mostly compatible with most .22 Mag rounds, though. Just need to be careful about ammo selection.

For that price range, I think the Ruger offers great value. I mean, you can’t beat a 10-shot capacity in this category! Those 6-shot revolvers just feel too limiting.

I agree! It’s perfect for versatility. Plus, it adds to the fun factor at the range. Do you think it could ever be used for self-defense?
