Analysis

This single-action revolver in .22 LR offers a classic design that appeals to enthusiasts of traditional firearms. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent groupings at moderate ranges, making it suitable for plinking or target practice. The ergonomics are well-suited for most hand sizes, with a grip that provides a natural point of aim. Reliability is generally solid, with smooth cycling and minimal malfunctions when properly maintained. However, maintenance can be somewhat demanding, as the mechanism requires regular cleaning to prevent buildup from affecting performance. Parts availability may pose a challenge, as sourcing replacements or upgrades can be limited compared to more modern designs. The trigger pull is crisp, with a predictable break, though it might feel slightly heavy for some shooters. Felt recoil is negligible, given the light caliber, ensuring a comfortable shooting experience even during extended sessions.
