I think I will buy a 22 revolver for the grand kids to shoot. The kids are 6 and 11. There are a lot of choices and I have never owned a 22 revolver, I have looked on-line and thought I would ask here. What do you guys think would be a good gun for the grand kids to shoot? I'm only looking for 22 LR, nothing more powerful than that.

You didn't indicate budget, but Ruger has a inexpensive .22 revolver now that is really nice. I own 3 Heritage Rough Riders in .22 LR I have them in different configurations. My favorite Rough Rider has Tru Glow adjustable sights, oversize grips and I do hunt cottontail rabbits with it, a lot.

I'm not concerned with cost.

If money is no object....they will love a K22 Masterpiece Pre 64.....tack driving sumgum

Browning Buckmark with Bill barrel. Extremely accurate and dependable with all ammo

Ruger single six, single action 22 LR, stainless or blued. Has adjustable sights and an extra cylinder for 22 mag.

Or

Ruger GP 100 22 LR (double action, 10 shot).

X2

I vote buck mark camper, easy to reload magazine and really easy on the ears. It's a lot more accurate than most people can shoot with iron sights.

Yes. Agreed!

While buckmarks are a very nice semi auto .22 pistol, if you are wanting a revolver as stated a ruger single 6 or 10 with adjustable fiber optic sights are very nice.

one more vote for the single six

YEP, or the Single-Ten, new ten shot version

Another vote for the Ruger Single Six. Bought mine in August 1976 on my 21st birthday. Packed it many a night following a pack of hounds and dispatched plenty of critters on the trapline with it over the past 43 years. It has lots of bluing wear and a few scars on the grips but still shoots great. It is the 6.5" barrel with adjustable sights.
I just passed it on to my oldest son just because he needed a 22 pistol and I wanted to make sure he got it.
No doubt we consider the Ruger as a family heirloom..

Now I want. Another .22

Ruger Single Six. Tough gun; pretty hard to break anything on it. I've shot probably 20,000 rounds through mine.

I bought mine for the trap line 24 years ago It is a European Arms single action 6 with the 9 inch barrel. I believe it as $99, with holster and a 22 magnum cylinder. It shoots .22 caps, shorts. longs and long rifles.
I drove over it once with my truck but it works well yet. It gets muddy and wet every year but I keep it clean and oiled but it is not pretty anymore.

Nice looking revolver.

I'm using dad's H&R 9 shot that he bought back in 1953. Still works great.

Adjustable sight bearcat.

I don't like Ruger single six for kids. It takes too long for them to "make it safe". Too much muzzle wander going on while they fumble with the cylinder and ejecting each round one at a time. I am basing this on first hand experience while conducting firearms training for youths.
I would suggest a double action revolver with a swing out cylinder, or an H&R like Paul has (if you can find one).
