Pros & Cons
- Pro: Folding grip eliminates the need for a separate holster — carry it loose in a pocket, bag, or glove box.
- Con: Single-action trigger requires manual cocking for each shot; not ideal for rapid follow-ups under stress.
- Pro: Stainless construction is low-maintenance and corrosion-resistant, even in humid environments.
- Con: Fixed sights limit precision beyond close range; best for 5-10 yard engagements.

FAQ
How does the folding holster grip work?
The grip locks open to form the handle when you’re ready to shoot, and folds closed to cover the trigger guard for safe carry. It’s a seamless holster built into the gun itself.
Is the half-way notch cylinder safe to carry?
Yes. The notched cylinder lets you rest the hammer between chambers, so the firing pin isn’t on a live round or empty case. This adds a mechanical safety layer beyond the standard transfer bar.
What ammunition does it use?
It’s chambered in .22 LR, the most common rimfire round. Standard velocity and high-velocity loads work fine, though CCI Mini-Mags are a favorite for reliability.
Can I use this for concealed carry?
Absolutely. At just over 5 ounces with the grip folded, it disappears in a pocket, ankle holster, or even a watch pocket. It’s a backup gun or minimalist EDC option.
How do I clean the stainless finish?
Use a standard gun cleaner and a soft cloth. The matte finish hides fingerprints and light scratches, making maintenance a breeze.
