Re: "stand your ground"
Scott - I've got that, too... 
They thought of that. Since it doesn't have a frame-mounted pin like my Taurus, North American Arms machined the cylinder with a groove between each hole. You half-**** the hammer, then decock it into one of the grooves. And obviously, you don't keep anything else in that pocket.

45 kick like a mule.keeping it on target shooting semi is hard.The .40S&W is a heavy big bullet.I am shooting 230 grain hollow points and because it a relativly slow bullet it doesn't kick bad AND has great stopping power.Most police forces are changing over to the .40 because of this.Try them both before you pick.Also .44 mag and .45 is more expensive to shoot
than the .40

But yeah... if you want a .22 rifle for your first gun, get a 10/22. They're cheap, durable, and there's a ton of aftermarket:
Riced out, baby.

Eagle makes pretty good 30rd mags for the 10/22. I've got one and it's the most reliable magazine I've tried - second best have been the Shooter's Ridge 25rd (pictured above.) You can get some sweet rebuildable ones now, but I'm too cheap for that - this is a plinker, dammit.
In other news... I shot 50 rounds through the mini revolver. This thing rules! It feels a lot like my Taurus both in recoil and in accuracy, but the ammo is a hell of a lot cheaper.

Also, eat my bozack. I'm aiming a 1-1/8" tube at a small piece of paper 30 feet away with no practical way to aim the thing. I was kinda sighting down the backstrap and using the front sight as a lateral indicator. There's no rear sight.
