Chiappa Firearms CF340170 .22 LR 7.5" 10-Round Revolver

The Chiappa Firearms CF340170 .22 LR 7.5" 10-Round Revolver is a rimfire platform built for recreational shooters, small-game hunters, and training applications where ammunition cost efficiency matters. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, this revolver delivers low recoil and minimal noise signature—ideal for extended range sessions, backyard target work, or introducing new shooters to fundamental revolver handling without fatigue. The extended 7.5-inch barrel provides superior sight radius and velocity retention typical of dedicated target rimfire designs.

Built by Chiappa Firearms, an Italian manufacturer renowned for precision machining and innovative designs, this model features a 10-round cylinder capacity that maximizes range time between reloads. The 7.5-inch barrel length balances portability with the extended sight plane necessary for accurate shot placement at distance, while the .22 LR cartridge generates minimal wear on internal components compared to centerfire alternatives. At 2.76 pounds, the revolver maintains manageable weight without sacrificing stability during aimed fire, making it suitable for both seated bench shooting and standing precision work.

Law enforcement agencies and military trainers often employ .22 LR revolvers for basic marksmanship instruction and diagnostic shooting drills where high round counts are essential but centerfire ammunition budgets are limited. Competition shooters value rimfire revolvers for bullseye disciplines and timed-fire events, while recreational users appreciate the platform's reliability and the Chiappa reputation for quality control. This revolver pairs effectively with standard .22 ammunition types—standard velocity, high velocity, or subsonic loads—depending on your intended application, and its compact overall profile fits standard 5-inch revolver storage solutions.
