The S&W model 648 - .22 WRM Goodness

AaronB, if you get a chance to pick up a box, try some .22 Winchester Rim Fire (WRF) ammo in that nice Smiff. CCI and Winchester currently make that ammo, and it is a dandy step down in power from the magnum rounds - like shooting .38+P in a .357. I have a Single-Six with a mag cylinder in it, and that gun absolutely loves the CCI 45 grain JHP. I have not had the 22LR cylinder in that Ruger for years, just load up the WRF rounds whenever I don't need magnum power (and noise).

Only down side is that the WRF ammo is only slightly less expensive than magnums, and you can't find it just anywhere. I bought a bunch at a gunshow a few years back. I still see it for about $14 - $16 for a 50 round box.
