I really thought I wanted one in 22 LR too, until I checked out the ballistics... https://northamericanarms.com/ballistics/
None of these are very impressive, but the 22 LR and 22 Short are both... well, sad!
I found a used one in 22 MAG with a 1-5/8" barrel and a Holster Grip for a good price, and satisfied my itch for a NAA. LOL!
I admit that it would be a very bad day if I ever had to even consider using any of these for defense... So, perhaps the ballistics are moot!
Still, I like it!
