Just came from my local Mom & Pop local gunsmith/ gunshop and they have an excellent supply of 22 rimfire ammo.

And I’m talking CCI Mini-Mag also.

I’ve been asked the same question – always by a shooting neophite. My response is to take lessons from a certified instructor, then we’ll talk hardware.

That said, I can’t image a better first pistol than a S&W wheelgun. Good job!

I refuse to purchase an item which requires a consumable for use, when said consumable is not produced in sufficient quantity for me to purchase readily.

Editor: Thou dost protest too much, methinks. If you spent 30 seconds on Ammoseek.com you would find plenty of .22 LR Rimfire ammo to purchase, with many varieties under $6.00 per box of 50. Yes, you won’t find rimfire ammo so easily at local big box stores these days. But if you use the power of the internet, you can buy all the .22 LR you reasonably need. For example, Cabela’s has CCI 40gr .22LR for $4.99 per 50-count box.
