Analysis

This .22 LR pistol offers a compelling package for target shooting and general plinking. Its accuracy is noteworthy, with a well-designed barrel and sight system that aids in consistent shot placement, making it a solid choice for precision work. The ergonomics are thoughtfully executed, providing a comfortable grip for a wide range of hand sizes, which enhances control during extended sessions. Reliability is another strong point, as it cycles most ammunition without frequent malfunctions when properly maintained. The trigger pull is crisp and light, contributing to better accuracy, while felt recoil is minimal, ideal for newer shooters or those focused on training.
