Analysis

This single-action .22 LR revolver offers a classic design that appeals to both novice and experienced shooters seeking an affordable plinking or training option. Its accuracy is commendable for casual target shooting, delivering consistent performance at moderate ranges. The ergonomics are well-suited for most hand sizes, with a grip that provides a secure hold during extended sessions. Reliability is generally solid, as it cycles smoothly with standard ammunition, though it may require diligent cleaning to maintain optimal function due to its traditional mechanism. Trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 4-5 pounds, which aids in precise shot placement. Felt recoil is minimal, making it ideal for beginners or those sensitive to kick. However, sourcing replacement parts can be challenging, and some users may find the manual cocking action less practical for quick follow-up shots. Overall, it’s a functional choice with historical charm, balanced by minor limitations.

There would be alot to like about this little plinker if it was reasonably accurate. It looks cool and has a magnum cylinder for just a few bucks more. I probably would have gotten it figured out but i bought a wrangler to replace it and it got sold to a buddy.
