I still have fun with my .22 Revolvers. My six inch old model 17 is a hoot to shoot but I love this one too. Of course I can shoot shorts, long and long rifle and birdshot in it and it works every time. The timing, cylinder mass and overall balance of these all steel .22's really shine in the six shot (what a six gun should be IMHO) configuration. What .22 Revolver are you runnin?
