Not a bad price for one you can shoot. The older 48s are going for a lot more

I like the .22 mag in a handgun. It makes it more like a .22 LR rifle with a little more pop

Yes,but would it stop an attacker? Shot placement would be the determining factor.
I know.... .22's are for small game and plinking.

I like the Patridge front sight. Did it come from the factory with that sight?

Factory .22 Mag has more muzzle energy than a few .38 Special factory loads.

.22 Mag is a true killer, it's a old school night hunters preferred round

It's because the .22 Mag velocity is so fast with jacketed bullets compared to some .38 Special loadings with lead bullets.
The heavier lead bullets going less than 700 fps loses out to a much lighter bullet going nearly 2000 fps.
I'm not saying that I'd choose a 22 Mag over a .38 for self defense...

Not from a 4” hand gun, it doesn’t.
It’s roughly equivalent to a .22lr from a rifle barrel. 1,200-1,350fps from 4”bbl with most 40gr ammo.
But, it’s still not tossing nerf balls.
Shot placement is important. Same as with a 12ga shotgun…

This^^^ It sure is pretty though! I have a revolver in .22 mag and it came with the .22lr cylinder too. It has a flag painted on the handle, but it’s not quite as nice as yoursMe:

...just joking, seriously.
Check on a Ruger Super Wrangler, Dave.

To the OP. Grip looks nice and balance looks good.
As to the other discussion.
Speed and force references should always be compared with barrel length. 16-24" barrels are usually used by manufacturers and annotated in most references.
The posted 22wmr 40gr out of a 24" barrel does approach 2000fps. From a 4" barrel the 40 gr drops to 1200-1400fps BBI,
where the 38spl 125gr from a 4" barrel is 950-1100fps BBI

For those to whom it might matter….
The Aguila “Inteceptor” .22lr load, advertised at 1,450fps from a 18.5” rifle barrel, get approximately 1,250-1,325fps from a 6” handgun. Or, in other words, the same velocity as that given by .22wrm, in a 6” handgun.
Powerful stuff! Decently accurate, too.
