Weighing in at a comfortable 32 ounces unloaded, the heft of the stainless frame soaks up recoil, making .22 WMR feel mild and .22 LR virtually negligible. This controlled weight, combined with the 4-inch barrel, provides a stable shooting platform. The price point of $740.99 reflects the value of getting two dedicated firearms in one robust, stainless-steel package. It’s available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide, where FFL transfer is required for firearm purchases. Think of it as a cost-effective solution for the shooter who values adaptability—why buy two separate guns when one performs both duties?
Who This Revolver Is For
This is the ideal sidearm for the practical-minded Missouri shooter. It’s for the landowner who needs a reliable varmint controller that can also host inexpensive practice sessions. It’s for the seasoned hunter who wants a quiet, accurate finisher for small game without carrying a separate rifle. It’s an outstanding choice for a first firearm, where the low recoil and operational simplicity of a revolver build confidence. Finally, it serves as a capable backup or trail gun where its corrosion-resistant finish and dual-ammo capability are genuine assets. The six-round capacity is sufficient for its intended roles, and the design is compatible with holsters made for similar-sized K-frame revolvers.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The matte stainless construction requires minimal maintenance, a real benefit in humid climates. The dual-cylinder system offers tremendous versatility and long-term ammunition cost savings. The Ribber Grip® provides a tangible, positive hold that standard checkering often lacks. Revolver mechanics are inherently simple and reliable—no magazines to lose or feeds to fuss with.
Cons: The fixed sights, while durable, limit precision adjustment compared to target models. Revolver reloads are slower than semi-automatics, a trade-off for the simplicity. At 32 ounces, it’s not the lightest .22 on the market, but that weight aids shootability. Here’s the thing—you accept these trade-offs for a tool that works across multiple scenarios without fail.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the .22 WMR cylinder necessary, or can I just shoot .22 WMR in the .22 LR cylinder?
A: Never fire .22 WMR in a .22 LR cylinder. The chambers are not dimensionally compatible, and attempting to do so is extremely dangerous. The dedicated, drop-in cylinder provided is engineered for the specific cartridge headspace and pressure.
Q: How difficult is it to swap the cylinders?
A: It’s a straightforward, tool-free process that takes seconds. Open the cylinder, push the cylinder release, slide out one cylinder, and slide in the other. It’s designed for quick field changes with no fitting required.
Q: Can this revolver handle a steady diet of high-velocity .22 LR ammunition?
A: Yes. The stainless steel frame and forced cylinder are built to withstand continuous use with standard and high-velocity .22 LR rounds. For sustained longevity with .22 WMR, sticking to standard loads rather than ultra-high velocity is recommended, but the design is robust.
