I have never understood the need or use for a .22lr snubbie. Especially a double action with a 7lb trigger pull and a 1 7/8” barrel. Some will say it’s good and cheap for practice, but $400+ will buy a lot of cheap 38spcl ammo for more useful variants. It is a poor choice for self defense, targets or plinking. Maybe (I say maybe) it would be OK for snakeshot.
Appears to be a well-engineered firearm. I agree, it would be a great addition to my pack, the weight is incredible and a brick of ammo would weigh very little. I may need to go fire one when they arrive at my favorite 2nd Ammendment center.
NOT enough BANG for the BUCK!
—need it in .44 Special—even a five-shooter would be okay—
I do like the idea of a concealable being so light and small that you can almost forget you are carrying it, but the trade off is often a little gun that will spank your hand something terrible at the range. That is why I like my Berretta Tomcat 3032 that followed home a few years ago. It has a flatter profile and a bit lighter than this 22LR, and it’s a no pain shooting experience. But this revolver would be a nice simple to operate gun for my wife’s purse.
Is that Santa test firing it?
$525 suggested retail
No Way
Baretta .32 auto pocket pistol $329 at Academy Outdoors harder hit, faster reload, smaller.
Buy a .38 SPL Chief’s model for same or lower
Just NOT a good deal.
It looks like they just took a Ruger .38 and added in a barrel insert and new chamber. I don’t see a big market for a .22 that tops $500 when there are so many similar options out there sub $200.
Looks like NOBODY actualy read the excerpt, let alone the linked article.
