The precision .22LR semi-auto market has a surprising number of purpose-built options for serious target shooters. A stable shooting platform with low recoil and repeatable controls can make the difference between a good score and a great one.

VOLQUARTSEN BLACK MAMBA

Design and build

The Black Mamba uses a polymer Ruger MK IV 22/45 frame retrofitted with Volquartsen’s Accurizing Kit, giving a crisp, clean 2.25 lb trigger pull that target shooters crave. The upgrade package borrows elements from Volquartsen’s Scorpion 22 LR Target Pistol while retaining the Ruger MK IV push-button takedown for fast field strip and maintenance. Ergonomics are improved with rubber Hogue grips for a secure hold through long strings of fire.

Feeding, magazines and reliability

Volquartsen addresses a common feeding issue by fitting a proprietary magazine release and including magazine base pads. These parts raise the magazine’s position in the frame so the bolt positively engages each round during feed cycles, reducing stovepipes and light strikes that can interrupt practice or competition. Two 10‑round magazines ship standard, making the pistol match-ready out of the box.

Barrel and sighting

The 4.5″ barrel with compensator controls muzzle flip and keeps follow-up shots on target, while target sights provide a consistent sight picture for precision work. Combined with the low-mass recoil impulse of .22LR, this pistol is ideal for dry-fire training and live-fire accuracy sessions where parallax and sight harmonization are important.

The .22LR caliber delivers affordable ammo, minimal recoil and the ability to practice fundamentals without fatigue.
