| If I remember correctly, .22 Short conversions were available for the Ruger semi-autos. I think Volquartsen made one. I didn't see it on their website with a quick look. GunBroker maybe? There is one, not sure of the manufacturer, on ebay - https://picclick.com/Ruger-22-...on-224005146786.html |

Who Woulda Ever Thought?
| S&W used to market a 22 Short conversion for their Model 41 target pistol. |

| you can find HS Flitekings in 22 short relatively cheap, I just sold one on gunborker for 350. make sure, if you buy vintage and online that it has the correct magazine, replacements on those can be pricey, Olympics, and Smith 41's will get pricey

Just because something is legal to do doesn't mean it is the smart thing to do.
| "Any semi-auto style pistols currently being produced for the shorty?" So I guess the answer to my question is no. I am not looking to buy any old guns, I just wanted to know if anybody was CURRENTLY producing any.
Integrity is doing the right thing, even when nobody is looking.

Master of one hand pistol shooting
| In the 1970s I trained on Olympic Rapid Fire with a High Standard Olympic Model like the one McMillan used for Gold in 1960. Wish I still had it. Olympic RF is a hoot. For me it is the most fun bullseye type shooting. Especially the 4 second strings I do have a bull barrel short conversion kit for a 106 &107 High Standard. Also 2 cases CCI target shorts. If I ever get around to it, I will put it on the market.

I still have a High Standard highly tweaked that I shot in the 70s and 80s in .22 Short.
I cleaned more 4 second runs than the others... no time to think... just go!
Bastards eliminated Free Pistol... perhaps the most demanding form of pistol shooting. I have the Russian Toz, shot a 97 once the hard way... last shot a “7” ☹️.
No chance against the AMU shooters, but still a lot of fun. Too bad I got old... almost 80!

| It is a very fun round to shoot and the ammo is easily obtainable. |

I had one. REALLY small pocket size SAO hand gun and with CCI .22short ammo, fun to shoot.
