If it's rated/marked for 22LR, and in good mechanical condition, it should fire modern "standard velocity" loads with no problems.

The problem with these antique revolvers is that 22lr didn’t exist at the time… so if you are limited to modern 22 long and 22 short rounds, do you think that they would be safe in an old revolver like this?
Maybe just use a 22 short or long cb cap? |

However, if it's marked as chambered for 22 long or 22 short, use no more than a standard velocity modern 22 long or 22 short equivalent in it. Those are hard to find, so you can always be cautious and just use 22CB. |

.22 Super Colibri would be my selection for plinking/target.
Short range but low pressure/stress on an antique. |

I think that these antique revolvers were meant for the 22 Long cartridge, as the rifling twist is 20/1 rather than the 16/1 twist that is standard for the 22 Long Rifle. I will use either a 22 short or a 22 Long CB caps (29 Grn bullet) so I don't overstress the pistol and keep the grain weight within the rifling twist rate... |

CB caps will work just fine, I have seen me do it.
