Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

There is something about thumbing back the hammer on a single action revolver that never gets old, and the Chiappa SAA 1873 22-10 lets you enjoy that feeling without spending centerfire money at the range. This is a faithful take on the classic 1873 Single Action Army pattern, scaled for rimfire and upgraded to a 10-round cylinder, so you get four extra shots per loading compared to a traditional sixgun. Better yet, this model ships with two cylinders: load up .22 LR for cheap plinking sessions, or swap over to .22 WMR when you want a flatter shooting round with more authority for small game.
Swapping between calibers is quick and simple. Open the loading gate, press the base pin release, slide the pin out, and the cylinder drops free. Pop in the other cylinder, reinsert the pin, and you are back in business. Both cylinders are steel and hold 10 rounds, and the fluted design gives your fingers a nice tactile reference when loading and unloading. The 5.5 inch rifled steel barrel is a great middle ground for this platform, long enough for a solid sight radius and good velocity out of both cartridges, but still quick handling.
Chiappa pairs the steel barrel and cylinders with an alloy frame, which keeps the weight down to about 2.3 pounds and the cost well below what you would pay for a centerfire SAA clone. The blued finish and black grips give it that no-nonsense working gun look, and the fixed sights keep things simple the way a single action should be. Overall length runs 11 inches, so it carries and points like the full-size original.
This is the kind of revolver that gets passed around at the range. It is a natural pointer, the single action trigger encourages deliberate shooting, and the low recoil of both rimfire cartridges makes it a great trainer for new shooters or a relaxed afternoon gun for old hands. Small game, tin cans, steel plates, it handles all of it without complaint.
It only takes a few seconds. Open the loading gate, press the base pin release, and pull the base pin forward so the cylinder drops out of the frame. Slide in the other cylinder, reinsert the pin, and you are ready to load. No tools needed.
No, and that is exactly why this revolver comes with two cylinders. The .22 WMR case is longer and slightly larger in diameter than .22 LR, so each cartridge needs its own properly chambered cylinder. Always match the ammo to the cylinder that is installed.
It is one of the better choices out there for learning revolver fundamentals. The single action design means you cock the hammer for every shot, which encourages deliberate, careful shooting, and rimfire recoil is mild enough for just about anyone. The 10-round cylinder also means less time reloading and more time on the trigger.
The frame is a specially formulated alloy, while the rifled barrel and both cylinders are steel. That combination keeps the weight around 2.3 pounds and the price friendly, without giving up durability where the pressure actually lives. It is a big part of why this revolver is such a popular rimfire plinker.
