Opinions on cheap .22 revolvers
By: mat!_SW Date: January 7, 2014, 8:39 am

I've been digging these little .22s. They have a few
variations, and I'm leaning toward the target model because it
has large adjustable sights and can be had for well under 200
bucks. Anyone have any experience with these or other
recommendations for a similar price?

I'm going to try it out. If I don't like it, its no great loss
at that price and I should be able to get my money back on it.

I'd love to hear what you think of it, I have been looking into
a similar piece to practice shooting fundamentals. I love
shooting my Tokarev TTC, but throwing a lot of ammo down range
gets pricey and finding a place that lets me shoot it is harder
than expected.

I actually really like it. I took it out when it was about 10
degrees outside so my groups were not the best. It was windy
and I was under dressed so I'll give a more detailed range
report and post targets when it warms up a bit more. It seems
well made though and went bang every time I squeezed the
trigger.

Out of curiosity, where did you find one? I haven't been able
to locate the target model online, so I'm considering

/>this one for the next time I go to a show in Fredericksburg
(happens to be the nearest GanderMountain).

[/quote]I got mine locally. They don't offer the target model
in the US unfortunately. I got the regular 4 3/4" 1873-22.
Online Buds gun shop was offering them at 157 with free
shipping, so depending on transfer and background check you'd
probably be in the 170s. I got mine for 174 and change out the
door. Because it was a wash I preferred to give my money to my
local dealer instead.

Went to a show in Richmond, checked for the Chiappa to no avail,
and stopped off at Green Top on the way home to look at
reloading supplies. Picked up

for $191
(includes tax, $179 w/o). Solid feel, we'll see how it shoots.

Those are sweet too. Those are the ones my local shop
recommended but they came with 2 cylinders and a holster and I
have no use for the .22 mag. With the extras they wantes about
250 so thats why I had them order the Chiappa. The Heritage has
a much nicer finish than the chiappa too.
