For shooters focused on precision target work and traditional revolver handling, few designs combine heritage styling with easy-shooting rimfire performance like a classic single-action. A reliable, lightweight round and a simple mechanical platform make single-action rimfires an excellent training and range tool for shooters of all skill levels.

CHIAPPA FIREARMS SAA 22-10 captures that 1873 single-action spirit while delivering practical utility for plinking, target practice, and small game.

Key features that matter on the range

The CHIAPPA FIREARMS SAA 22-10 is described as a Single Action Revolver chambered for rimfire cartridges and finished in BLACK. That combination gives you a low-recoil platform that mimics the handling of centerfire single-actions without the cost or stout recoil. The SAA 1873 lineage is notable for its straightforward, mechanical operation: cock the hammer, take aim, and press the trigger—ideal for building sight discipline and trigger control.

At a price of $269.99, the SAA 22-10 presents an accessible entry point to classic single-action shooting. Shop this product and see current images and buying options; the shop page will link you to the retailer checkout when you’re ready to purchase.

Why rimfire works for precision practice

Rimfire cartridges (commonly .22 LR in this class of revolver) are inexpensive, widely available, and have minimal recoil—attributes that let you concentrate on fundamentals: grip, stance, sight alignment, and follow-through. For precision target shooting, consistent ammunition and a deliberate single-action trigger press translate directly into tighter groups. The SAA 22-10’s simple mechanics reduce moving-part variables, which many shooters prefer when dialing in accuracy.

Handling and training tips

Use the single-action’s crisp, light trigger to practice slow, repeatable presses. Dry-fire work (with an unloaded gun) helps groove trigger feel, and low-cost rimfire ammo lets you run higher round counts for a reasonable budget. For small game hunting or plinking, match the ammunition to your range and target for best results.
