This review of the Amadeo Rossi M518 .22LR revolver highlights its potential as a budget-friendly alternative to Smith & Wesson models like the 617. The firearm features adjustable target sights, a smooth stainless steel finish, and a comfortable grip. The reviewer notes a surprisingly good trigger, with a smooth double-action pull and a light, crisp single-action break, suggesting it may even surpass the trigger on a S&W 617. While accuracy is deemed good, the reviewer admits their own shooting limitations, particularly in cold weather, and notes the pistol tends to shoot slightly high at closer distances, likely due to its intended sight radius for longer ranges.
This review covers the Amadeo Rossi Model 518, a .22LR six-shot stainless revolver noted for its surprising build quality and tight lockup, often compared to Smith & Wesson J-frame and K-frame models. The presenter highlights its exceptional trigger pull and adjustable sights, suggesting it's a well-made budget option from a bygone era, likely produced using Smith & Wesson tooling during a period when Rossi, Taurus, and S&W shared a parent company.
