i like the small frame S&W 22s, the I frame, and picked up one with 6" barrel with the adjustable / target sights
[ made in 1923 ].....and it has superb action / trigger and is amazingly accurate and fun to shoot....so then i wanted to see how the Colt equivalent of a similar setup with adjustable sights would be......however the Colt Police Positive 22s which are about the same size and weight as the S&W I frame, are often very expensive ....so i keep bidding......and finally did get a good buy [ under 200 $ ]
on one by getting one chambered for the 22 WRF....which just may be an even better choice for small game ,etc.

from the serial number this one was made in 1910; this little revolver has some wear to the finish, but mechanics and bore look perfect, trigger is light and crisp......and i have at least 700 rounds of 22 WRF so it is not impractical for me.

also wonder if I could try the Jim Taylor trick that he does with the 22 mag: cut off the base of a fired 22 wrf and use it as a conversion or shim by placing a 22 lr into it, then using it.

NM.

every couple years, I would enjoy it with no fuss. I see WRF at gun shows here all the time. Great price!

I was looking and looking for one in .22 WRF (I have 6000 rounds of Rem Special ammo) and couldn't find one so finally ran into a Police Positive Target .22 LR and bought that. What a neat gun. I really like the WRF cartridge and can only imagine that you will really like that revolver.

22lr that is not really pricey or really beat up.

wow, you have a stash of the ammo! i bought my ammo years ago, to use in a 22 magnum uberti 1873 SRC BUT the base of the 22 wrf is larger than the 22 wmr and the 22 wrf just jammed in that 1873 ! i have heard lots of folks say their 22 magnum rifles are superbly accurate with the wrf round.

Are you in for some fun with that little thing. I have found the .22 WRF to be a dandy little cartridge - more potent than the .22 LR and not so loud and destructive as the .22 WMR. My old Single-Six loves it - I rarely shoot magnums anymore, and haven't had the LR cylinder in the gun since I discovered the WRFs.

to a friend to cut my cost. I should have kept it. I bought a Remington 12CS just to shoot it although my original intent was to shoot it in my Single-Six.
