Author Topic: .22 shorts OK? (Read 909 times)

I've got a Taurus model 94 .22 revolver. The stamping on the barrel says 22LR. The manual says use only the ammunition which is stamped on the barrel.
My question: Can I use 22 shorts in this gun? If not, can anyone explain why not? :?

Thanks, OTR

You can shoot shorts, longs, long rifles, and shot shells through it just fine.

Using Shorts might leave a ring of residue in the cambers that might make loading and ejecting of Long Rifles sticky. I'd recomend running a brush through each chamber before switching.

Not a problem. I do it all the time. What Shorty said.
