They make things that help tremendously with primers.

I have a Ruger Single Six and Ruger Wrangler like them both.

For me they are good for cheap practice and as mentioned good for new shooters or those who don't like recoil. I have several handguns of various calibers including black powder , but I shoot the .22's the most followed by 9mm or .38 special.

No I thought about learning to reload but wonder if my lack of fine motor skills would make reloading difficult if not impossible. From what I understand primers are really small?

I would suggest a Dillon 550 press.

I would think any gun guy would have a couple or 8 or 10…

Maybe I do. Maybe I don't. I ain't tellin.

RK has a revolver chambered in 22lr. it seems to have a very short barrel. Just wondering about the applications it would have with such a short barrel? Seems like limit d to plinking? Also seems like having any degree of accuracy may be a challenge?

Thanks

You are headed down a fun journey & I read where you have been "warned," haha!
I've tried to like a 3" revolver & bought a few of them, but they do not deliver the level of accuracy as the "normal" 5"-6" lengths.
I've had revolvers with varying barrel lengths & every inch seems to up the accuracy another notch.
I have an 8", 54oz Dan Wesson revolver that nothing can beat & I've tried to find something to keep up with it.

For example, about barrel lengths using semi-autos like the Browning Buckmarks, I've had all barrel lengths from 4" - 10".
Never selling the 10".
Never going back to a 4", but will accept one as a gift, haha!

As a hoot, I bought a Heritage Rough Rider 16" barrel from Zackcz & I never sold it b/c it is so accurate, even though I hate a single action b/c so slow to load & unload.
