Semi niche audienceRuger, Colt, and S&W seem to be more expensive.

I've been looking into them for some time and the prices for a .22 just don't make sense to me.

For 22LR DA revolvers which are built on the same platform (say a K frame S&W or Ruger GP or SP) as their centerfire counterparts, it would seem their production cost would be in the same ballpark, although I imagine they sell more CF in these lines so economies of scale of production should allow a better margin, or the ability to offer a lower price against a lower cost basis while still maintaining their desired profit margin.Why are .22LR DA revolvers more expensive than their centerfire counterparts?
Looks very nice!Because they're cheap (to shoot) and fun to shoot and look good doing it!

Okay, I really just wanted to post my pictures!
If you're really interested in 22lr revolver shooting, the Ruger Wrangler and Heritage single action options are a much lower price point for entry and a very similar experience.
