Ruger LCR now chambered in .22 long rifle

I saw the notice from the Ruger website on facebook and immediately thought, "Why not chamber it in 22 Magnum?" I read a little further down and saw this reply"

Lots of you are asking why we made this in .22LR instead of .22 Mag, so I asked one of our engineers:

We understand our customer’s requests for a .22 WMR chambering in many of our double-action revolvers. However, the long, straight-walled (originally designed for a rifle) case is difficult to eject, especially when 6, 8 or more cartridges are being ejected simultaneously. We’re working on it, but we will only provide double-action revolvers chambered in .22 WMR when they can eject spent cartridges consistently and reliably.
