Can I use .22 long rifle stinger in this handgun?

If it is marked .22lr on the bbl you should be able to. The stinger has a little move velocity than some other brands but is still well within pressure limits. What is the condition of the pistol?

It says long rifle on the barrel, thanks. The gun is in beautiful condition, I am looking foward to shooting it.

Congrats on acquiring a dandy piece!
Stingers do pretty good in my Mark II Rugers, but tend to hit a little "high", compared to standard velocity loads like the Federal Wally-World Bulk Pack .22's.
Enjoy!

Logan,
I have a 6" Huntsman, but I don't shoot it much since it was my dad's. Spare magazines are a little pricey and can be hard to find. It wouldn't hurt to have a few extra around.
Mine shoots as good as a rifle. Very accurate. the reason Colt quit making them was because they were expensive to make.
While it will handle Stingers just fine you'll get better accuracy with standard velocity ammo.

Thanks for the help gang. I have some left over stingers from a 10/22 and dont want to waste them. The problem may be mute next month cause I'm goin to the gun show. I hope the prices are decent.
