How rare is the .22 short

[holiday009]

I've never seen one in any gun shop.

[billmeek]

You rarely see any NAA pistols in the gun shops around here.  I've only seen a NAA .22 short in one shop while up in Nashville. 

[Warthog]

I own three of them.

[smokeless joe]

I had never seen one in a shop either. I got mine off gallery of guns using the gun genie. Before posting I looked as to post a helpful link. There was not one available at this time. I've only shot mine a few times, I got it just to add to my mini collection. I'll throw up a couple of pics because we do like the visual stimulation. Good luck on your search.

[smokeless joe]

It would only let me post one pic. So here's the other one.

I’ve never seen one in any gun shop.

Besides the Minis?

The Beretta 950 Minx was .22 Short, and Astra Cubs were made in it. I think H&R and some of the cheap European revolvers like Rohm had .22 Short only revolvers. A few Derringers were .22 Short, I think. The Olympic pistols were .22 Short, until they switched to air guns in 2004. There were several .22 Short only rifles, but I'm not really up on them.

Most everything out there is going to be older, though the Minx was made from the Fifties until 2003. Short only guns are out there, just not a lot of them in LGSs, more on websites like Gun Broker.

Here is mine - it has a little more info in the address line.

Nice pics. 

I'm thinking of getting one myself here soon.

I like plinking with pocket sized handguns, but the .32's and .380's get expensive to shoot. And I've got several.22 Lr handguns.

The little 22 short would have to be fun .

 Heres a couple more .  Good luck , look for a l.r. also another hard to find piece .

The Lr can be ordered by any of the local dealers, seems nobody can get the short though.

HUMMM,

Makes me think I could sell a couple if the price was right...

Would they include a shoebox?.........

Excellent question

Well, I found a shop here close by that can get one through his distributor, $226 !

Is that about the going rate ?

I think I gave 205 for mine so as others said. Go for it.

[holiday009]

Thanks guys for the info.

I'll call them and have them order it Tuesday, as they're closed tomorrow and Monday.

what maybe rare at times is the ammo

An example online for $201.94 shipped:

But then you have to pay any local transfer/background fees.

IDK Texduk3, I have not had any trouble getting what i want to shoot mine.  Now I also admit I now have a full case, some 5000 rounds of it, got that during the After Christmas Sale online.

I think NAA makes certain runs of 22 short from time to time. They are not on a regular production basis.

Now as for the 22 short ammo,the only ones that I have seen are the Remington brand. Not too hard to come by.

I did a penetration test with my 22 short. The round cleanly penetrated at steel soup can (both sides) at about 5 feet distance.

It seems to have a bit more power than I had thought.

After a quick check CCI makes at least four flavors of 22 Short (Short, Short HP, CB short and Target short) and Winchester as well Aquila and Remington all make 22 short.
Most if not all appear to be currently available.

The .22 short will penetrate a damned sight more than a soup can!

MtGoat (Pat) has a Shorty for sale in the Buy, Sell,Trade NAA Product section here:

It's was a novelty purchase for me but an important addition to my mini collection. I'm glad I got it. Here's another pic cause... well you know 

[kpla51]

there one in one of my local shops, don't think the price is too stellar though.

[Uncle_Lee]

Thanks Joe
I needed one for my coffee.

[top dog]

Uncle Lee,
Does that mean that you put a 22 short in your coffee to sweeten it???

In all honesty though,they are just so darn cute!!!! The photo of a short next to a quarter says it all.

I love shooting 22 short. I do not have a short but I enjoy running them through the 22LR's. It is a very fun round in my opinion.

Indeed!  I run them through my 22LR's too, though I have a couple of 22 short calibered handguns too, through my little rifles it is a lot of fun.

I know that around here, I can find them anytime in Academy Sports or my LGS but I usually buy in bulk at SGammo.

I got your back buddy
