SHOT Show Range Day: Armscor Sidekick .22 Cal 9-Shot Revolver

For about $300, the new Armscor Sidekick comes with both a .22 LR and a .22 WMR cylinder, each holding nine rounds of rimfire ammo.

While it looks like an old school cowboy gun, it operates in both single action and double action modes.

I fired the Sidekick in both chamberings and had a blast.

The action was smooth and the trigger was good. I really enjoy shooting in single action while using my left thumb to cock the hammer, and I love the look and feel of a cowboy wheelgun.

At the same time, a swing out cylinder is a lot faster and nicer to load and unload than a side gate. The plunger extractor worked great, too.

When I switched over to .22 Win Mag I took aim at a steel silhouette 100 yards away, and made a handful of hits on it! Lots of fun.

Everybody should own a .22 cal revolver!
