Question double action .22 interchangeable w/cylinder

hey gun buffs out there - I have an easy one for you,

anybody know of a handgun that meets the following criteria:
1. supports interchangeable .22 LR and .22 Mag cylinders
2. is double action
3. is still in production for normal retail purchase

I found there are few guns that meet criteria 1 & 3, but I don't know of one that lets you pop the cylinders out and is also double action.

any guidance?

BTW, nice website (this is my first post)

I believe the Only Double action convertible available would be a Colt Trooper MK III in .22LR/.22mag. No longer in Production, run about 1250.00 if you find one on the market. The rest are all single action revolvers...

I just inherited a Ruger, Single Six. I've burned about 50 LR rounds through it so far. I'm happy with the single action. As I have always owned auto's, I'm happy with the model.

My father still has his old High Standard Doublenine he bought the year I was born - 1957!
It's an okay shooter, but on a par with my Tanfoglio TA76and the Heritage Arms Roughrider - it is NOT as good as the Ruger Singlesix. His also is not the Convertible model.

Best you'll find is a single six but it's also single action.

I've been shooting my Six every night since Sunday. I tried the .22 Mag. cylinder last night. I liked the feel of it. As it was pretty late, I didn't shoot but six rounds, off-hand.
I plan on transferring the Registration into my name tomorrow. Then I will be able to shoot at a range on Saturday. As always, CAN'T WAIT!!!!

I'd be afraid I'd shoot my finger off with that little thing.

Yeah it might be fun. But I think I'd rather have the Cap and Ball modle.
