Some revolvers are capable of firing both cartridges, simply by replacing the cylinder. Not all revolvers can do this, however. As for a dedicated .22LR firearm not fed from a cylinder, the answer is going to be no.
Absolutely Not!!! Unless it has the cylinder marked for .22 LR.I own a few HS-21's .22 Mag/.22 LR Revolvers,which has both cylinders and I have to change them for what im shooting.If you shoot a .22 LR in a Mag Cylinder the case will actually split open causing gasses to escape and possibly hurt you or your gun.This is because the .22 LR has a smaller case diameter,and when shot it expands...Dont Do It!!!...If you want a .22LR cylinder go to Numrich.com (AKA e-gunparts.com)most manurfacturers made the conversion cylinders for revolvers and most can be bought for around $50...

.22 Mag only.
No, you should not do this.The . 22 WMR (Magnum) cartridges have slightly larger diameter. While .22 Shorts and LRs can physically be placed into the chambers of a WMR cylinder, it will be a loose fit and is not safe to fire as the brass case may split.
No, the 22 Mag will not fit.
The .22 Long rifle is a CARTRIDGE that is used in revolvers, pistols, and rifles. BULLET refers to the part of a cartridge that comes out of the barrel.
The mini-mag should still be .22 LR.
Ruger produced several of their single action revolvers with two cylinders. There was a .22 long rifle/.22 Magnum, a .357 Mag/9mm Parabellum, and, I beleive, a .45 ACP/.45 Long Colt. In addition, Colt made a .22 LR/.22 Mag Frontier Scout single action and several foreign companies both German and Italian made similar guns.
You can find a 22 mag cylinder for a 22 mag revolver mod 21S MIW Germany on eBay. You may also be able to find one through antique sales and antique gun collectors.
.22 mag and .22 LR are not the same. So, no.
With the exception of a few revolvers made with interchangeable cylinders, the .22 LR and .22 magnum cartridges should NOT be substituted for each other. The .22 magnum is a larger diameter cartridge than the .22 LR. Firing a LR cartridge in a magnum rifle will result in a split cartridge case, venting of gasses, etc. They cannot be traded with one another.
