Now that the .17 Super Magnum is out, how would feel about a super mag in 22 caliber? I am not a fan of the .17 round becase of cost and addition of a caliber, but I would love to see a super mag in .22. If Smith made a J-frame in such a caliber, I'd buy one in a second. Thoughts? aka 22 hornet? |

859ft lbs of engery on the Hornet!!
Holy shit!!! 
But it is centerfire... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.22_Hornet I picture 22 Supermag being in between 22 Mag and 22 Hornet. It would be rimfire. |

But it's a .17. |

I would really consider it as a pocket carry, back up gun in a J-frame. The Smith & Wesson rimfire j-frames are lighter than the .38's buy a couple of ounces.. I think the 22 magnum tips the scales at like 11.5 ounces. |

So we end up w/ a rimfire 5.7x28mm? Would be cheaper.

I always thougt that a 32hr mag revolver would make a good light weight yet powerful personal defense weapon or trail gun. iirc 32hr mag has performance equal to 38spcl but without losing a round in the cylinder in the super compact frame revolvers. |

I'd want a 22 Super Magnum that could fire standard 22 Magnum.
It would be fucking awesome if it could laod and fire 22lr.
I was watching a guy on youtube tonight , firing 32 S&W long, 32 H&R mag, .327 Feder mag, and 32acp through a Ruger SP-101 revolver. |
