Analysis

This .22 Mag (WMR) caliber revolver is a solid choice for target shooting, showcasing commendable accuracy at moderate ranges due 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 a secure hold during extended sessions. Reliability is a strong point, as it consistently cycles rounds with minimal malfunctions under proper care. However, maintenance can be somewhat demanding, requiring regular cleaning to prevent residue buildup inherent to rimfire ammunition. Availability of replacement parts may pose challenges, potentially leading to delays in repairs. The trigger pull is smooth and crisp, averaging around 4 pounds in single action, which aids in shot control. Felt recoil is negligible, making it approachable for newer shooters, though seasoned users might find the lightweight frame less substantial for prolonged use.
