Hello, I'm new here.
Can anybody tell me if a 22 revolver with a 12 inch barrel and a 12 shot capacity has ever been produced?
I see plenty of revolvers with a 12" barrel and plenty of 12 shots. But I don't seem to be finding with both together.
Need to know if there are any out there or I'm wasting my time looking.
Would like to had one made along the Buntline style. But may have to take what I can get, if I can get.
 
That's what I'm trying to find out. Don't know why no one wouldn't had made one. Just about every thing else has been made.
By the way, I like your Handle. I grew up using a Model 12. Great gun. It was giving to my Dad from his Grand Dad (Full blooded Choctaw) who bought it new. I don't shot it any more. Just hangs on the wall. Lot of history behind it. I killed my first deer with it plus a lots more and other animals. Great gun.
 
7 1/2" by USFA was the longest I've heard of and they are out of business now, I'm sure if you found one now it would be quite pricey,
 
I've never heard of one either . . and quite frankly . . . I imagine the reason one has never been made is because there wouldn't be a big market for one. Yes . . a few might sell but to me . . and I don't shoot 22s anymore due to the shortage of ammow and price gouging . . . but i so of think of a 22 as a kick around gun. At least that's what I always used mine for - varmints on the farm, etc. and the last thing I'd want to carry around is aa "22 Buntline Special" - for want of a better description.

I kno a lot of fellows shoot tree rats with their 6 1/2" Heritage SA and the like. But if I'm going after tree rats, a rifle is jus as easy to carry. Target shooting? That might be a different story. Or, possibly a long barrel like you are talking about with a detachable stock . . . but again . . . I just don't think you'd see the demand for one. Plus . . . semi-autos seem to be far more popular with the younger set these days. I was brought up on revolvers and have shot them for 50 years . . . but I really think 22 revolver lovers are in a minority compared to the market that the semis have. And in the end for gun manufacturers . . it's the "bottom line" that dictates what they do and don't offer.
 
You can get 10 shot .22lrs
Ruger makes the single ten.

Story make a 10 round .22lr cylinder for the single six, as well as 8 round 22mag cylinders and 8 round .22lr cylinders.

My single 6 is a double single 8 now.

But that is a 6.5" barrel and single action. Not 12" barrel with 12 rounds.

There are modern revolver options with 10 rounds.
S&w has a 10rd .22lr also (double action) and Ruger recently announced a 10 rd .22lr iirc.

Good luck.
 
I would think an 8 inch barrel will be about as much as you'll see without paying a fortune.
