I picked up this hopefully fun little plinker today. Sportarms Model 21s with both 22lr and 22 Mag cylinders. Made in West Germany. I did a little reading, and they never were very expensive.

I traded a SCCY pistol I'd won in a raffle, and got this revolver plus some ammo, so it didn't cost me anything but some time.

I just need to find some better grips for it than the hideous fake stag plastic ones. I've been wanting a 22 revolver for quite a while, and the price was right on this one, so I decided to take a chance on it so my son and I can have some fun with it.

I watched a YouTube video last night where a guy rebuilt one, and apparently this gun and a Rough Rider are practically identical in some respects. The grips are even interchangeable, which means I have lots of choices available.

I like that, because it means I don't have to make my own 😆

I already found a couple different sets I really like. Now to decide which ones, and get them ordered.
