Cartridge Hall of Fame: 22 Short Ammunition | MidwayUSA

Developed around 1858, the 22 Short was first developed for the Smith and Wesson Model Number One, and today is chambered in both handguns and rifles. Although first developed for self-defense, today the 22 Short is typically used for target shooting and small game hunting. Its design served as the basis for all rimfire cartridge designs and its introduction revolutionized firearms design, ensuring its place in the Cartridge Hall of Fame. Watch along as Larry Potterfield, Founder and CEO of MidwayUSA, examines the history of America's oldest metallic cartridge, the 22 Short.
