Analysis

This .22 LR semi-automatic pistol offers a compelling package for target shooters and plinking enthusiasts. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent groupings at typical rimfire distances, thanks to a well-designed barrel and sight system. The ergonomics are a notable strength, with a grip that accommodates a variety of hand sizes and provides a secure hold during extended sessions. Reliability is generally solid, cycling most standard ammunition without frequent malfunctions. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 4-5 pounds, which aids precision, while felt recoil is minimal, making it approachable for newer shooters. On the downside, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome, as disassembly requires attention to detail and patience. Availability of certain replacement parts may pose challenges for long-term ownership. Additionally, some users might find the overall weight less ideal for carry purposes, though this is subjective based on individual preferences.

Great pistol
By Bonnie on 07 Mar 2020
I love this pistol! It is very accurate and the sights are amazing. It is also very easy to disassemble and clean. Great .22! As a female shooter and certified pistol and rifle instructor, I use this pistol when I train new shooters to the sport.
