I shouldn't buy a gorgeous NIB, MSRP 6" S&W M48 .22 Magnum, blued. Login/Join

I didn't see one on display Sunday at the local gun store.
Its not less than 1/3 the price of the Manurhin MR73, whose siren call I barely escaped a few months ago.
I don't have a comfortable stash of .22Mag ammo.
It wouldn't be a great partner for a CZ 452 and a Kel Tec PMR-30.
Craft Holsters won't make me a sweet thumb-break OWB leather belt slide holster for it.
5 Star Firearms doesn't offer their excellent billet aluminum speed loaders for the caliber.
I never liked revolvers.


I'm having trouble believing my own lies.
Help me out here, please.

What do you not like about your own M48?

Stop dithering and buy it. They're not easy to find these days.

Buy it, and quick.

I've got a 651 and it's great.

Ha! I see what you did there, OP - methinks ye already knoweth the answer within thy heart!

Be sure to post pics once you have it in-hand! Smile

Edited to add: I don’t have an M48 but I do have a vintage-y 6” K22 that is a blast!

You should not buy it. Tell me where it is so I can "help" you.

Ammo's expensive and hard to come by.

Oh, wait, you have a stash.

(Sigh) Never mind. I'm gonna shut up now and go back to shopping for cheap 5.45x39 rifles.

LGS had one of those in the case for months. It kept tempting me, but I have a very limited supply of .22 Mag and no good way to feed it. Somebody finally bought it so I didn't have to stress over it every time I went in there. If you've got the ammo to feed it, you should go get that thing before somebody else does!

Dammit! Don't they have a horribly heavy double action trigger pull or something???

I never warmed up to .22 Magnum. The round has a loud report, especially from a handgun. Ammo isn't really designed for accuracy. Anschutz makes some nice rifles in .22 Mag which are accurate, but I really haven't seen other guns in which the .22 Mag is accurate.

Now a 22lr handgun is a completely different matter -- a great way to go.

Wrong place to get talked down off the ledge. Big Grin

Everyone should own a nice .22.

fritz is my only friend! The rest of y'all are The Pusherman. I think there's a song...

fritz, tell me the six inch barrel but with cylinder gap would be even more obnoxious than the 4.3" on my semi-auto, and I'd lose the tip of my supporting hand thumb to the cylinder gap jet.

That'd happen! Am I right? Am I right?

You'll never know if you can avoid the gap jet if you don't have one.

I tried talking myself out of getting an $800 Allround a while back. It didn't work either.

I'm not helping you am I?

If you already have a 22 magnum pistol, then you know it is loud and it is inaccurate. The M48 won't be any different.

The S&W 617 is a great revolver, due to both the way it is built and that it is chambered in 22lr. That's the rimfire revolver I recommend. I have no use for nor desire for a 22 magnum handgun.

The 651 is a nice pistol.

I have a 6" 648. It's a very nice gun. However, the 22WMR is really a rifle round. You'll notice this with all the unburnt powder the first time you shoot it. I have it so not selling but looking forward to a 22WMR rifle to use with my 10,000 round of Maxi-Mag.
