This .22 LR pistol offers notable precision, making it a strong choice for target shooting and plinking. Its design prioritizes accuracy with a well-balanced frame and a crisp trigger pull, typically around 4-5 pounds, which aids in consistent shot placement. The ergonomics are user-friendly, with a grip that accommodates a wide range of hand sizes, enhancing control during extended sessions. Reliability is generally solid, provided proper ammunition is used, though occasional feeding issues may arise with lower-quality rounds. Felt recoil is minimal, as expected in this caliber, ensuring comfort for shooters of varying experience levels.

Additionally, sourcing replacement parts may pose challenges, potentially delaying repairs.
