Alfa Steel .22lr

[Hamilton99]

Hello,
My first revolver, czech Alfa Steel 2261 from Brno factory, chambered in .22lr.
9 rounds, about 1220 grams, wood grips - for only $540 (in Poland). I set trigger weight for 1200g, tomorrow gun will be tested for a first time 




And factory target, distance 15 metres

Nice.  Did you get the blued or stainless model?

Enjoy your shoot and report on initial thoughts.

I like the way that one looks.  Reminds me of my S&W 586 6".

I think that full lug under the barrel improves the looks and helps reduce recoil (not an issue with the .22 I suppose, but the look is good).

Not sure how much experience you have with .22s but they are kind of funny.  If you can get different brands/bullet types buy a box of each and shoot to see if your gun "likes" one brand/type vs. others.  I have guns that like Remington ammo and won't shoot Winchester for beans.  I have one that likes Federal pretty well while the rest do better with Remington.  The CCI ammo (Stingers) I tried years ago didn't shoot well in any of my rifles/pistols.

Looks like it's Blued

I have been into Wheelers for over 50 years
And that's a sweet looking Wheelgun !

Thats blued version.
In my Cz457 I only use Sellier Bellot Club ammo, in my opinion best ammo for that barell. I try many brands of ammo: Geco, Remington, RWS, CCI,  Federal, Eley and Aguila. For competition I use SB Club, for fun Remington in bucket.
I bought this revolver for competition and fun, I was convinced by the price and solid construction.

Funny you said that !
The ONLY Firearm I will ever use Remington .22s Ammo, is in a Wheelgun !
Your average Remington .22lr Crimp, is too weak (IMHO) for any Magazine fed Gun; Rifle or Pistol
I find that they (too often) fold upon "ramping" into the Chamber
You can snap one in two with your bare HAND (one Hand) way too easy !

As I said .... that IS a very nice looking Revolver you have there Hamilton

NICE lookin',  let us know how it performs.

25m, wind about 5 m/s, ammo Geco (red box).

Remington HV is cheapest ammo in Poland. That ammo is good for a pistol but sometimes makes stowpipes and FTE, in cz457 I can't make good group with that ammo. SB Club is in almost the same price, about 30 cents more for a box, but is more stable on distance 50m and more.
