Today, semi-automatic pistols are more popular than ever. But little rimfire revolvers have a charm and practical utility that still makes them handy options for walking around the woods.
The most common examples of the breed are, with rare exceptions, chambered in either .22 Long Rifle (LR) or .22 Winchester Magnum Rifle (WMR). These cartridges' diminutive size, low recoil and rimmed cartridge cases make them an ideal fit for small-frame revolvers.
But despite the fact that they share the .22-caliber designation, these two rounds have distinct differences in their histories, external dimensions, bullet types and performance potential.
