Any revolver chambered for .22 LR will accept and shoot .22 Shorts safely.

AS Behrgrills says, any revolver should shoot the shorts.

However, if that firearm were a semi auto, it would be not likely to function with .22 shorts.

Then what about cost and availability.

Cost is likey to be as high as buying Long Rifle ammo with a lot less versitality, and you may need to special order the shorts in many stores.

Not seeing the use you desire to put the shorts to, I wonder why?

Wouldn't standard velocity LR do just as well and maybe better with much better availability and lower cost?

What he said

There are sub sonic 22lr rounds available that are not high end target ammo ( not expensive ). I have a couple guns that like CCI Subsonic Hollow Points. They are standard 40gr lead bullets so off the shelf barrel twist rates work. There are others and they should be more available and cheaper that shorts.

The New CCI quiet should also be a good choice.

My daughter picked up a 8 shot SP101/4" this past summer, and it shoots anything. And it's quite good for accuracy with most ammo. Like all rimfires it has preferences.

My Single Six/6.5" shoots everything also, and has an edge for accuracy, but is not as much fun to shoot. It's slow on the reload. S&W and Taurus have a fair selection too.

Think about a pistol - either a S&W 41-1 or one of several High Standard pistols. They are relatively accurate and reliable - just a little pricey - but if taken care of, will hold or grow in value.

How about a Heritage Rough Rider 22LR/22Magnum (now owned by Taurus)? You won't break the bank either.
