As single action 22's go, this has to be a favorite
for many. Classic style and nicely finished (except
for the ''manual'' stamped into side of barrel!).
Great to shoot, as well as economical.
The gun is actually designed primarily to shoot
the .22 WMR round and does that well - using the
purpose made cylinder. It still shoots well however
with the .22lr though the other cylinder, despite
the bore being if I recall a thou larger than needed.
The only downside, which applies to all SA revolvers,
is the fiddle involved with unloading and loading
- just a bit tedious.
This newer version scores over the early Single
Sixes in as much as it is safe to carry on a loaded
chamber - having a transfer bar system. The early
ones were only really safe carried on an empty chamber. |
