For a while, .22 was mainly used when someone who hadn't shot before asked if I would take them to the range. Start them on that, then as they got comfortable, see if they wanted to move up.
I would shoot it myself sometimes, but a single 525 round box would last me quite a while. On the other hand, it wasn't uncommon for me to go through 2-300 rounds of 9MM in a single range trip. Course that was when 9 could be found. And cost 7-8 bucks/50. And I had time and money for such things.
I did get an LCR .22 when I finally admitted to myself that I couldn't shoot a double action revolver worth a hill o' beans. 525 rounds would still last a while. Dry firing worked as well, but I do want to make SOME noise every once in a while.
Not sure what point I'm trying to make, not that I ever let that stop me, but seems like .22 has always been popular. Some folks only own rimfires, or more of those than centerfires.
