There is something satisfying about a single-shot pistol. One round, one chance, and every squeeze of the trigger matters. The Crickett KSA796 Hunter takes that old-school discipline and pairs it with the extra punch of .22 WMR, giving you a compact rimfire that hits harder and flatter than a standard .22 LR without adding bulk to your pack. At around 2.4 pounds with a 17.5-inch overall length, it rides easy on a hike and comes up quick when a squirrel or cottontail gives you a window.
The 9-inch stainless steel barrel wears a 1:16 twist that stabilizes magnum rimfire loads nicely, and it comes from the factory threaded 1/2-28 with a protector cap already installed. That means your favorite muzzle device spins right on with no gunsmith trip required. Up top, Keystone fitted Williams Fire sights, with a fully adjustable rear and a metal fiber optic front that gathers light and stands out against fur and brush far better than plain black irons.
This is a manual-cocking bolt action, so the pistol will not fire until you deliberately pull the metal cocking knob back. Load a round, close the bolt, cock it when you are ready, and take your shot. The rebounding firing pin stays blocked until the trigger is pulled, which adds another layer of peace of mind while you are walking fields or waiting out a den hole. It is a simple, deliberate system that new rimfire hunters pick up fast and experienced hands appreciate for its no-nonsense feel.
Keystone Sporting Arms has been building these American-made single shots for over two decades, and the adult-sized synthetic frame on this one fits full-grown hands comfortably. Whether it is pest control around the property, small game season, or just an afternoon making steel ring, the KSA796 keeps things light, accurate, and fun. Grab a box of .22 Mag and see for yourself.
Yes, that is one of the biggest draws of this model. The 9-inch stainless barrel comes factory threaded in the common 1/2-28 pattern, so most rimfire suppressors and muzzle devices thread right on. A protector cap is included to keep the threads clean when you are running it bare.
The KSA796 will not fire just by closing the bolt on a round. After you chamber a cartridge, you pull the metal cocking knob at the rear of the bolt to cock the action, and only then is the pistol ready to fire. Combined with the rebounding firing pin that stays blocked until the trigger is pulled, it is a very deliberate system that makes it a great trainer and field gun.
This one is built on the adult frame, so full-sized hands fit comfortably on the black synthetic grip. Keystone is best known for its youth rifles, but the Hunter pistol line was designed with grown shooters in mind. At 17.5 inches overall and about 2.4 pounds, it is compact without feeling cramped.
.22 WMR, often called .22 Magnum, pushes bullets noticeably faster and flatter than .22 LR, which translates to more energy on target and better performance at extended small game distances. It is a favorite for rabbits, squirrels, and pest control where a little extra authority helps. Out of the 9-inch barrel with its 1:16 twist, this pistol makes good use of the cartridge.
