RIA AL 22.1 9-Shot Stainless .22 revolver

[1srelluc]

I picked this one up today. I gave $380.00 for it.

Imported by RIA from the Czech Republic. I have a 3" .38 special from the same Czech manufacturer (different importer) and I like it a lot. I could not pass it up knowing of the quality.

It came in a RIA box with a test target.

It shot a lot better than it tested but I was using target ammo.

It's so nice to have a 9-shot K-Frame sized .22 revolver....In SS no less!

It fits pretty much any K-Frame holster.

I always did say S&W messed-up buy making their K-Frame Model 18 a six instead of a nine shot.

Interesting. In a .22 revolver pistol, I too, favor a 9-shot. That one is nice looking. The only .22 pistol, I actually have had close association with, was the old High Standards Double-9, and I really liked it, but of course a more "old west" design. Also, of interest was the stamping APINTL-PAHRUMP NV. The only thing I had associated with Pahrump, NV was legal whorehouses, not weapons importers.

Yeah, my first .22 revolver was a 9-shot High Standard "Hombre".

They dropped the faux cartridge ejector rod housing but kept the "cowboy" look. The HS Sentinel is also a good 9-shot revolver.
