Pros: Excellent fit and finish, great sights and accurate
Cons: A bit pricey, a pain to clean

I bought the Hunter model with adjustable sights. The hunter model came with a scope mounting base which made mounting my Simmons Handgun Scope a breeze. Easy to shoot and reload, feels great in my hands and is very accurate to 100 yards (depending on weather conditions). For NRA Silhouette shooting its almost as good as the single shot TC's. The only negative I have is tear down is bit of a pain but once you do it a few times no problems.

Pros: Durability, accuracy, reliability.
Cons: Once taken apart... Good luck!

I'd give this pistol more than excellent marks in all aspects but re-assembly. The first time I took it apart I very nearly returned it to the store before getting it back together. Hours of aggravation! Reassembly is so bad it actually deters me from taking the gun in the field to a point (I fully strip and clean after every use).


That said, I still think it's overall the best rimfire pistol available today, and has no other faults from my perspective. I use the 6 7/8" "Hunter" model in small game season with great success, and perfect reliability. The longer barrel does make for a slightly muzzle heavy hold, but other lengths are available to fit any shooters taste and needs.


I'd like to see a .22 WMR model available as well!

Pros: Accurate & comfortable right out of the box!
Cons: Field strip & reassembly both require a hammer and a prayer.

The only reason that I score this as a 9 is to field strip this gun you need a dowel and plastic hammer - what a pain. shooting the gun however is a true pleasure. I purchased the Standard model and have no regrets!
