Analysis

This .22 LR revolver is a noteworthy option for target shooting, offering commendable accuracy at short to medium ranges, thanks to its well-balanced design and precise barrel alignment. The ergonomics are thoughtfully executed, with a grip that accommodates a variety of hand sizes, promoting comfort during extended sessions. Reliability is a strong point, as it consistently cycles rounds with minimal malfunctions under proper care. The trigger pull is smooth and crisp, averaging around 4 pounds in single action, which aids in maintaining shot placement. Felt recoil is negligible, making it an excellent choice for newer shooters or those seeking a low-impact practice firearm. However, maintenance can be somewhat demanding, requiring regular cleaning to prevent buildup in the cylinder. Additionally, sourcing replacement parts may pose challenges due to limited availability. This model suits recreational shooters but may not meet the needs of those requiring frequent customization.
