Smith & Wesson Hand Guns by Roy C. McHenry and Walter F. Roper, the .22 Hand Ejector (Ladysmith) was designed to shoot .22 Long Rifle cartridges. However, at first, the unfired cartridges were shaken so much from the recoil that the bullets separated from the casings and jammed the cylinder. So, D. B. Wesson developed a lightly crimped .22 S&W Long cartridge until the design of the .22 LR cartridge was improved in 1906. Hence, the stamping ".22 S&W" on the barrel. The .22 Long and .22 LR were the same casing and powder load at the time. The difference is the .22 Long uses a lighter bullet. The .22 LR came about because of the loss in velocity of the .22 Long due to the bullet weight when shot in rifles. .22 bullets slow down in the barrel of a rifle because of the volume of the barrel bore versus the volume of gas produced by the cartridge. The lighter bullet of the .22 Long reduced the inertia of the bullet and caused a considerable velocity loss as compared to the .22 LR. Most modern .22 LR ammo is high velocity as compared to .22 LR in 1902. So, it should not be shot in these guns. Even some .22 Short ammo is too powerful for the gun.
так что самобытненько именно для этого револьвера... но не столько размерами сколько обжатием навеской и весом пули.
