Hello I have not a pistol yet..still waiting for my permit. I live in New York that should tell you all you need to know. I will most likely be buying a .357 to shoot .38 s. I have a press and dies, brass the whole yard. I even have 100 shells loaded so when I get the gun I will be able to shoot and not be gun poor. I did this when I bought my first 28 gauge shot gun.
Anyhow my question ids about 22 mag. As a young kid I use to shoot a rifle in this caliber and it was a hot shooting rifle to say the least. I see that you can buy revolvers in this caliber, I bet that must be a real force to mess with. My question is could you buy a small 3 inch snub nose in .22 mag and use it for a carry defense gun. I don't know much at all about pistols I have been shooting trap and skeet the last years and just caught the interest in pistols.
Any help would be great...god knows I will be asking lots of questions.
