What is that triple barrel creation?

Grumpy,

Have you written about the conversion cylinder topic somewhere?
Things to look for?
#4
What was your technique for trimming the barrel down?

Settled on a favorite load for it? Find anything in reduced recoil?
#5
Ruger LCR 22 could work well for you. Shoots great. Smooth trigger geometry.

With the nail gun powder loads for scorpions- what impacts the critter?

Pictures would be great!

I agree with the comments about the Beretta 21a (Bobcat) being a great pocket 22LR.  I own one and love it.  Love the DA/SA trigger.  The key to reliable cycling is to load it 6+1 instead of 7+1.  It just works better.  The tip-up barrel is GREAT for shooting Aguila Colibris' (rounds that are too weak to cycle the slide - great fun in my garage at 7 yards).   

Don't buy a Taurus PT-22 (the knock-off of the Beretta 21a).  It has a horrible DAO trigger.  I own one, but I use it ONLY for the tip-up barrel to load nail gun powder loads to shoot Black Widow & Fiddleback spiders and Scorpions in the shop and around the house.  Not worth anything more than that.

I am one of the few fans of the Jennings J-22 and Jeminez JA-22.  I own both.  Load one less round in the magazine (5 instead of 6) and it will cycle just fine.  Make sure the top of the magazine measures between .195" and .200" and it will cycle well.  Never load it +1.  In fact, never carry it.  It is not a good option for carry.  Horrible slide safety.  But it is fun to shoot at the range.

The best pocket 22LR of all time - the NAA.  More than just a homer opinion.

I don't have the feeling this story will end with a happy ending.

In the Gun Digest Annual 1984, the legendary Dave Reynolds wrote an article titled, Handling Mini-Revolvers. Does anyone have a pdf or pictures of this classic article?

His two handed technique was a "software" (training) solution to the small size of the minimum grip.
When I try this technique the rear of the trigger presses against my index finger behind it.

Love to hear your tips on maximizing effectiveness with the smaller grips.
