#.22Jet
Wheelgun Wednesday: Need For Speed with the .22 Jet
I was taking a break at a hunting base camp resupplying to go after elk after a hard week of hunting mule deer in deep snow, when the camp cook brought out a revolver to show us after dinner. At first, I thought it was just a nice example of a 4-screw, 6″ barrel S&W N-Frame. Then, he brought out the ammo for it, which was something I had not seen before: .22 Remington Jet. I was looking at an S&W Model 53, one of the very few firearms ever chambered for this curious, bottlenecked .22 cartridge.
