Analysis

This lightweight revolver in .22 LR offers a compelling option for shooters seeking a compact, easy-to-carry firearm for plinking or small game hunting. Its aluminum frame keeps the weight minimal, enhancing comfort during extended use, while the ergonomic grip design provides a secure hold for most hand sizes. Accuracy is commendable for a firearm in this class, delivering consistent performance at typical rimfire distances. Reliability is generally solid with proper ammunition, though occasional misfires have been noted with lower-quality rounds. The trigger pull is smooth in double-action mode, averaging around 10 pounds, with a lighter single-action pull near 4 pounds. Felt recoil is negligible, making it ideal for newer shooters. However, maintenance can be cumbersome due to the intricate cylinder assembly, and replacement parts may be challenging to source. Some users might find the small frame less suitable for larger hands.
