.22 LR Firearms

.22 LR is the rimfire workhorse of the shooting world — cheap to shoot, nearly recoilless, and ideal for training, plinking, and small-game hunting. The GunDNA database tracks 45 firearms chambered for it.

Unlike most pistol cartridges, .22 LR leans toward long guns: 26 of the 45 models are rifles — bolt-action trainers, semi-auto plinkers, and tactical-styled rimfires — while 19 are pistols and revolvers. The same cartridge that teaches a new shooter the fundamentals also feeds precision rimfire competition.

Each firearm links to its full GunDNA profile with barrel length, capacity, and specifications. Filter by type to separate rifles from handguns, or visit the .22 LR caliber page for the cartridge's history and uses.
