Haven't kept up with available models through the years, so I don't know if the SS was available in 22, I suspect they were. The mag capacity was reduce to 15 rnd in the 80's and the barrel was shortened to 19" in 2000 to match the mag tube end. I don't know if 3" adds any accuracy, but I doubt if there would be any significant velocity increase.
Yes, it's 19", not 18" on current models. There was a 22" SS made for a time, I've seen them on GB.
I prefer the long barrels (and stocks) because they fit well with my long arms. They are also a little quieter.
