I own a couple .38/357 revolvers. Love them, but also hate cleaning them. Compared to my auto pistols which take about 10 minutes to clean, I usually spend 30-60 minutes cleaning my revolvers, due to having a barrel plus 6 chambers to clean.
I'm thinking a .22lr revolver would be even more labor intensive, since it is a dirtier round and the potential for lead fouling in the chambers, forcing cone, etc. I really want to get a .22 revolver, but i'm concerned that it would be such a pain to clean that it would stay in the safe most of the time.
Am I overthinking this, or should I just stick to semi auto 22s?
