There is something satisfying about a full-size wheelgun in .22 Magnum, and the Armscor Rock Island AL22MB gets the recipe right. This is not a lightweight pocket rimfire. It is a medium-frame, all-steel double action/single action revolver built by Alfa Proj in the Czech Republic on the same chassis as the AL3.0 .357 Magnum. That means you get centerfire-grade bones wrapped around a rimfire cartridge, which translates to a gun that soaks up what little recoil the .22 WMR produces and should hold up to decades of range time.
The 4 inch barrel sits inside a full shroud with a clean, classic profile, finished in a deep gloss blue that gives the gun some old-school character. The cylinder holds eight rounds instead of the usual six, so you spend more time on the trigger and less time reloading. Up top you get a fixed ramp front sight paired with a fully adjustable rear, which is exactly what you want for dialing in different .22 Mag loads since bullet weights from 30 to 50 grains can print to noticeably different points of aim. The finger-grooved rubber grip fills the hand well, and the cylinder and crane design transfers recoil force straight into the frame to minimize wear and keep the lockup tight over time.
The .22 WMR delivers roughly 50 percent more energy than .22 LR, which puts squirrels, rabbits, and pests firmly on the menu while still staying pleasant to run all afternoon. Crisp single action pulls make it a fine choice for careful shots on small game or steel, while the double action mode gives newer folks a simple, safe platform with no magazines or manual safeties to fuss over. Between the heft, the eight-shot capacity, and the adjustable sights, the AL22MB fits neatly into the trail gun role, the training role, and the plain old fun-at-the-range role. Armscor backs it with a limited lifetime warranty, so this is a rimfire magnum you can buy once and pass down.
No, the AL22MB is chambered specifically for .22 WMR, and .22 LR should not be fired in it. The .22 LR case is smaller in diameter than the .22 Magnum chamber, which can cause split cases and erratic performance. If you want both calibers, stick with .22 WMR here and pick up a dedicated .22 LR revolver for the cheaper stuff.
It is a solid fit for that job. The .22 WMR carries roughly 50 percent more energy than .22 LR, which is plenty for rabbits, squirrels, and pest control at reasonable handgun distances. The adjustable rear sight also lets you zero for your preferred hunting load, which matters since .22 Mag bullet weights vary quite a bit.
The revolver is manufactured by Alfa Proj in the Czech Republic and imported by Armscor under the Rock Island Armory brand. It is built on the same medium frame used for their .357 Magnum revolvers, so the steel construction is well beyond what a rimfire cartridge demands. Armscor covers it with a limited lifetime warranty.
Expect a light, crisp single action pull in the neighborhood of 3.5 pounds, with a double action pull in the 12 to 13 pound range. That heavier double action stroke is typical for rimfire revolvers, which need firm hammer strikes for reliable rim ignition. For precise shots on game or targets, cocking the hammer for single action is the way to go.
