Analysis

This compact .22 LR pistol offers a solid option for recreational shooters and those seeking a lightweight firearm for target practice. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent groupings at moderate ranges, making it suitable for plinking or training. The ergonomics are well-designed, with a grip that fits comfortably in most hands, promoting a natural shooting stance. Reliability is generally strong, provided it is kept clean and properly lubricated. However, maintenance can be somewhat demanding, as the design requires regular attention to prevent malfunctions. Availability of replacement parts may pose a challenge, potentially frustrating owners needing repairs. The trigger pull is smooth, with a crisp break that aids precision, though some may find it slightly heavy for a rimfire. Felt recoil is minimal, as expected in this caliber, ensuring a pleasant shooting experience even during extended sessions.

It’s an excellent and simply designed semi-automatic .22 LR. It’s very easy to place an ATF approved supressor on this weapon. I highly recommend the Fiocchi .22 LR subsonic rounds (The box is red with, “OFFICIAL 300,” inscribed on the box. Safe and accurate shooting, to all!
