Analysis

This .22 LR pistol offers a compelling option for shooters seeking a lightweight, affordable rimfire handgun. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent groupings at moderate ranges, making it suitable for both target practice and small game hunting. The ergonomic design provides a comfortable grip for most hand sizes, enhancing control during extended sessions. Reliability is generally solid, with minimal malfunctions when properly maintained, though it demands regular cleaning to prevent buildup from affecting performance. On the downside, sourcing replacement parts can be challenging, potentially frustrating owners needing repairs. Maintenance requires attention to detail, as neglect can lead to feeding issues. The trigger pull is smooth but slightly heavy, which may not suit shooters preferring a lighter break. Felt recoil is negligible, ideal for beginners or those sensitive to kick, ensuring a pleasant shooting experience for a wide range of users.

This is my first handgun - 1950 price $49.00 and i still have it. Never had a problem with it. It is still in mint condition. Sixty years later I found one just like mine and my grandson has it. We put stag grips on both llama's. Bob
