Features & Specs

This revolver is chambered for the .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (WMR) cartridge, offering significantly higher velocity and energy than standard .22 Long Rifle loads. The Rossi R99 utilizes a traditional single-action/double-action trigger system with a transfer bar safety mechanism. The cylinder is fluted and constructed from carbon steel, heat-treated for service life under repeated firing. The barrel length is 4 inches, providing a balance between sight radius and portability. The front sight is a fixed blade, with a rear notch machined into the top strap. The grips are checkered synthetic material, providing a positive hold in various weather conditions. The overall weight is approximately 30 ounces, unloaded.

• Caliber: .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (WMR). Six-round capacity cylinder.
• Action: Single-action and double-action with transfer bar safety. Blued carbon steel frame and cylinder.
• Sights: Fixed front blade with rear notch. Overall length: 9.5 inches. Weight: 30 oz.

Who It’s For

This model is intended for the budget-conscious shooter who prioritizes mechanical reliability over cosmetic perfection. The Rossi R99 Plinker 22 Magnum Blued Revolver (Cosmetic Blemishes) is well-suited for recreational target shooting, small game hunting, and varmint control within legal ranges. The .22 WMR cartridge offers a flat trajectory and sufficient energy for pests such as groundhogs, rabbits, and raccoons at moderate distances. It also serves as an economical training platform for shooters accustomed to heavier centerfire revolvers, as the manual of arms is identical but the recoil and ammunition cost are substantially lower. For collectors, the blemished finish may be less desirable, but for a working firearm stored in a truck or tackle box, the cosmetic imperfections are functionally irrelevant. The Rossi R99 Plinker 22 Magnum Blued Revolver (Cosmetic Blemishes) is also an option for shooters in jurisdictions with restrictions on semi-automatic rimfire rifles, as a revolver may provide a legal alternative for .22 WMR use.

• Target shooters seeking .22 WMR performance at a reduced cost due to cosmetic blemishes.
• Small game and varmint hunters requiring a compact, reliable sidearm chambered in .22 Magnum.
• Firearm owners adding a utility-grade rimfire revolver for training, plinking, or general outdoor carry.
