CHIAPPA 1873 SAA 22-10 22LR 22MAG 5.5 DUAL CYL

Chiappa's 1873 SAA 22-10 is a single-action revolver chambered in .22 LR and .22 WMR with a dual-cylinder design, 5.5-inch blued barrel, and 10-round capacity. It draws buyers who want the manual-of-arms of a classic 1873 pattern without the cost of centerfire ammunition. TacticCAL carries it as a PC §32100 exempt single-action revolver.

The Rimfire Role This Revolver Fills in a Bay Area Shooter's Collection

This is a range and training tool first. The dual-cylinder setup — .22 LR and .22 WMR in one frame — gives owners flexibility without buying a second gun. At 2.2 lb with a 5.5-inch barrel and 11 inches overall, it handles easily and keeps rimfire practice sessions affordable. The blued finish and black checkered grip reflect the 1873 form faithfully, and the steel rifled barrel with zamak alloy construction is exactly what the manufacturer specifies. Buyers pairing this with a Crimson Trace laser for dry-fire practice, or running Federal .22 LR bulk through it at a local range, get a lot of use out of a single platform. CA-compliant as a PC §32100 exempt single-action revolver. More on §32100 single-action revolver exemption.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to buy two sets of ammunition for the dual-cylinder setup?

Not necessarily. The revolver ships with cylinders for both .22 LR and .22 WMR, so you can run whichever you source. Most buyers start with .22 LR for volume practice and add .22 WMR when they want higher-velocity loads.

Is the zamak alloy frame a concern for long-term durability?

The manufacturer describes it as a special formulated alloy offering greater ductility and flexibility for long-lasting reliability. It's not steel throughout, but the barrel is steel-rifled. For rimfire round counts, the construction is appropriate to the use case.

What should I line up before I pick this up after the 10-day wait?

Source .22 LR and .22 WMR ammunition for your first range session, pick up a CA-compliant locked transport container for the drive home, and identify a range that allows single-action revolvers. Bring valid government ID and be ready for the safe handling demonstration at pickup.
