Application / Regulation advice Are combo .22LR/.22WMR revolvers eligible for exempted handguns per the Olympic sports exemptions? (BC)

So I actually managed to get my first handgun exemption for sport shooting and picked up a Ruger MK4 (awesome!). But I was curious too about picking up a .22 revolver to compete as well. One that I found that seems suitable is the Taurus 992, which is a revolver that comes default with both a .22LR cylinder and a .22WMR cylinder. Are revolvers in .22 allowed as exempted .22 sports shooting firearms? Would there be a problem since it comes with a .22WMR cylinder as well? Cheers everyone!

Why the downvote?!

Because if you can only choose one revolver, Taurus is not it. There is a reason they are $200.

For sure, doesn't mean they'll all get approved.
