The Chiappa Firearms SAA 1873 in .22 LR is a faithful single-action revolver that captures the spirit of the classic 1873 design without the price tag of a full-sized centerfire. Built as a hybrid of Old West aesthetics and modern manufacturing, this .22 LR revolver delivers reliable, accurate shooting in a lightweight package that's perfect for plinking, small-game hunting, or introducing new shooters to single-action operation. With a 4.75-inch barrel and 10-round cylinder capacity, it balances portability and handling while offering enough rounds between reloads for extended range sessions.
The construction blends practical modern engineering with authentic period lines. A steel rifled barrel handles the .22 LR cartridge, while the frame and most internal components use a specially formulated zamak alloy that Chiappa designed for durability and flexibility—no brittle casting here. The blued finish delivers classic looks, and the black checkered grip fits naturally in hand. Fixed blade sights keep things simple and lightweight, letting you focus on trigger control and sight picture rather than complex adjustments.
At just 2.2 pounds and 10.25 inches overall, this single-action revolver is easy to carry and comfortable to shoot for extended sessions. Whether you're after an affordable training gun to practice single-action technique, a fun plinker that won't break the bank on ammo, or a gateway into cowboy-style shooting sports, the Chiappa SAA 1873 delivers authentic single-action feel at a price that lets you shoot more without guilt.

The Chiappa SAA 1873 in .22 LR excels as a training gun for learning single-action mechanics, a fun plinker for casual target shooting, or an affordable way to practice cowboy-action-style shooting without centerfire costs. The light recoil and low ammo expense make it ideal for shooters building trigger control skills or introducing new people to revolvers.
The Chiappa SAA 1873 maintains the classic 1873 profile and handling characteristics, but it's chambered in .22 LR rather than a full-power cartridge like .45 Colt or .357 Magnum. The proportions and controls work the same way, making it an authentic single-action experience at a much lower cost per round.
Chiappa engineered the alloy frame specifically to resist brittleness and cracking while offering long-lasting reliability. It's a deliberate material choice for durability, not a cost-cutting compromise—the steel barrel handles the actual stress of firing, while the alloy frame and mechanism provide flexibility and resilience.
The .22 LR cylinder holds 10 rounds, giving you more shots between reloads than a traditional 6-round single-action, which makes for longer uninterrupted range sessions or plinking time.
