My friend has one as I have told you all before. I will save my opinion on it but my opinion is said on here before. So any ways I have shot it on several occasions and have noticed in mu view that it tends to get more accurate the more the barrel heats up in which would be opposite of what other guns do. So that being said what is your all's opinions on it or in your experiences?

Yes it does. It comes with 2 cylinders. 1. in .22LR and 2. in .22 Mag. From what I read in some articals on line its a "Cheap remake of a SAA for the youth"

i would think that because the differance between the two caloibers is night and day. with the higher velocity of the .22 mag it would be more accurate....ive noticed that with my .22 mag Naa revolver and my .22 lr Ruger.

not really a heating issue.it is that as the barrel fouls(gets dirty)it tends to get more accurate.this is not uncommon when it comes to .22 rimfire firearms.i have many 22's that work like this.my 10/22 after i clean the barrel shoots like shit until about 50 rounds,then it will put 10 rounds inside a half inch at 50 yards.easy answer:clean the action and leave the barrel the hell alone.it wont corrode or get rusty.all that is there is lead and wax.just shoot it and dont worry about it.

Now my opinion will be said. Its fun to shot but WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY not accurate. anythin farther than 15 feet it would be hard to hit. but truth be told I have not shot it with the mag clylider in it. I only shot it with the LR clylinder.

is inherently more accurate.for lots of reasons.if you are having accuracy issues try shooting different brands of ammo.i have been thru this with my kids JR league rifles.i spent lots of money on different ammo and finally found what shoots well.this is really important in handguns where the bullet is only in the barrel for a short time.

America is not at war. The U.S. Military is at war. America is at the Mall. If you don't stand behind our troops, PLEASE feel free to stand in front of them!
