Looking for opinions on this small revolver, anyone have 1, like it ? Should I get the 22 or 22 mag. Mainly a new trap line gun.
My heart belongs to my family. My body belongs to my work. My soul belongs to the woods.

I don't know much about that particular model but if it were me I would get the .22 since I have never needed anything more powerful on the trapline for anything.There is also a huge variety of .22 ammo available to suit the situations you might encounter. It is also cheaper to shoot the .22 and it is not as loud as the magnum.
I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

.22 mag would be way overkill for a trapline gun caliber in my opinion. I have a .22 mag I use for coyote hunting, but for trapline I run only .22 LR at most. think about it, you are only talking about trapline shots way up close. Way up close. They aren't going anywhere. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

For a trap line a 22 LR is fine in a snub nose, but some day she may want a carry a revolver and a 22 mag is not the best but better than a share stick. I am looking at a S&W 43c, it is a 22 LR, it will match my S&W 642 that is a 38 spl that is pricy to shoot. But the 43c is a pricy revolver. JMO

My wife carries a NAA .22 mag revolver and it is painfully loud to shoot without hearing protection. Stay with a quiet .22 subsonic, your ears will thank you. If you can get the Aguila SSS Sniper Subsonic Ammunition 22 Long Rifle 60 Grain Lead Round Nose to shoot from your revolver you'll have found the perfect dispatch round. That 60 grain bullet packs a wallop while being very quiet. I would agree depending on where and what time you are running traps noise can be important.
