I bought my Barkeep when they were first released. It was the best $159 I ever spent on a gun. The thing is tremendous fun at the range. You can buy a .22 Magnum cylinder for the Barkeep, and that configuration would be the one I'd carry if I were going to carry a single-action revolver for self-defense.
