Analysis

This .22 LR pistol offers a compelling package for shooters seeking precision and comfort in a rimfire handgun. Its accuracy is noteworthy, delivering tight groupings at typical target ranges, thanks to a well-designed barrel and sight system. The ergonomics are a strong point, with a grip that fits most hand sizes comfortably, promoting a natural point of aim during extended sessions. Reliability is generally solid, with consistent performance across various ammunition types, though occasional feeding issues may arise with lower-quality rounds. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 4 pounds, which aids in maintaining control and accuracy. Felt recoil is minimal, as expected in this caliber, making it ideal for new shooters or prolonged practice. On the downside, maintenance can be somewhat tedious due to a complex disassembly process. Additionally, sourcing replacement parts may pose challenges for some users, potentially delaying repairs.
