22 magnum

WHY ISN'T THE 22 MAGNUM USED FOR SEMI AUTO HANDGUNS? IT'S BALLISTICS ARE BETTER THAN A 32, COMPARAREABLE TO THE "NEW" 32 MAG, BETTER THAN 380'S AND FAR BETTER THAN 22'S AND I NEDEDN'T EVEN COMMENT ON A 25.?
I DON'T GET IT. It would seem that the only problem would be over penetration which could easily be solved by bullet type. What am I missing?

PS In case you can't tell I think it's a far under rated round.

    i have a 22 magnum that i like to take out and shoot quite a bit but the problem is the bullets in my opinion are way to expensive. my question is is there a way to reload 22 magnum shells at a cheaper cost than the store price or if you can reload them at all.

    cci maxi mag is a good round or remington v-max /for cheap ammo winchester makes a super x or a supreme for around $5.00 a box you can go to http://www.sportsmansguide.com or http://www.midwayusa.com for good ammo prices (if they are on sale)

    you can be king or street sweeper but everyone is going to dance with the reaper

    I have to say that the 40gr CCI maxi mag is my choice. You can buy a 32gr bullet now for the 22mag. But I was told if it aint broke dont fix it. And my guns love the 40gr bullets.Hope this helps!

    Good Luck.

    Can't seem to get the CCI maxi-mags to feed right in my Marlin 882, the last round in the mag never loads and the rest have a hard time. Remington v-max, though, feed great and are very accurate. I guess it all depends on your particular gun. The v-maxs cost a little more but (at least in my gun) are worth it.
