Excellent review & history.👍 The only 22 mag I have today is a few of the Heritage revolvers and a Walther WMP semi auto pistol. I love the Walther, but it is ammo picky for sure.🤦♂ Does not like anything under 40 grain bullet weight, but it really preffers the 45 grain variety.👍 It runs CCI Maxi Mag flawlessly so that is what I mainly shoot in it. It is a fun gun and it always gets a lot of attention at the range, because in a pistol, 22 WMR is louder than 9mm. And even though it is a pistol, you still get enough velocity to get the "crack" like a rifle, it catches everyone by surprise.😎 I need to break out the chronograph and see what kind of speeds I am getting out of that pistol.🤔
I really like the .22WMR cartridge, and have a variety of firearms in that caliber... a couple revolvers (Taurus 942M-UL and a NAA-22M) a Henry lever gun, and a handful of semi-autos, incl Keltec's PMR30 & CMR30 carbine, S&W's M&P 22Magnum, the Magnum Research MLR22WMH and last, but certainly not least, Rossi's RS22M. I thoroughly enjoy the Rossi... I have never had any reliability issues, and I'd match the performance and accuracy of this Rossi up against the Magnum Research rifle, even though the Rossi cost much less than half what I paid for the MR... only about $275. I do wish that someone -- anyone - would make a higher capacity magazine for the Rossi... I have looked and looked but without success. Now the downside... I had to chuckle when you were replacing the recoil spring assembly... that can be maddeningly tedious... I have had that damn spring go in perfect first try, and at other times, it taunted me for a solid ten minutes before it would slide into position! For anyone thinking of getting into a 22WMR semi-auto long gun, the Rossi makes for an excellent low cost option.
yah , Rossi has the worst customer service known to man . I bought a gun case , well I tried for weeks calling several times waiting on hold for hours just to ask if the large gun case would fit this gun before I bought one and also purchased some extra mags , emailed several times with no response . Like a fool I bought one , It wasn’t even close , then the nightmare of trying to return it . When it was all said and down I was out $10.00 for all the shipping . I should have just thrown it in the trash . I never even to the day shot the gun . My opinion is, don’t waste your money . I’ve done a lot of research on the gun and watched every video on TH-cam before I bought it for it’s accuracy at 100 yards and they really wasn’t all that great . Someday I’ll shoot it but it’s at the bottom of my list after my experience with their customer service.
On my list
