Analysis

This .22 LR pistol offers a compelling option for shooters seeking an affordable plinking or training firearm. Its accuracy is commendable for the price point, delivering consistent groupings at typical rimfire distances. The ergonomic design provides a comfortable grip for most hand sizes, aiding in control during extended range sessions. Reliability is generally solid with proper ammunition, though occasional feeding issues have been noted with lower-quality rounds. On the downside, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to a less intuitive disassembly process, and sourcing replacement parts may pose challenges for some users. The trigger pull is on the heavier side, averaging around 6-7 pounds, which might detract from precision for newer shooters. Felt recoil is minimal, as expected from the caliber, making it approachable for beginners. Overall, it’s a practical choice with trade-offs in refinement and support.
