Lorcin L22 22Cal Pocket Pistol

The Lorcin L22 is a compact, economical semi-automatic pistol chambered in .22 Long Rifle, designed for casual range use, plinking, and small-game practice. Lightweight and easy to carry, the L22 features a small alloy frame with a blued steel slide, fixed sights, and a simple blowback action that keeps operation straightforward for shooters of all skill levels. Its single-stack magazine and slim grip make concealment simple while providing reasonable control and comfort for short shooting sessions.

The pistol’s manual safety and uncomplicated takedown make cleaning and maintenance accessible to new owners. While compact, the L22 offers predictable handling and minimal recoil typical of the .22 LR cartridge, making it an attractive option for novice shooters and budget-conscious enthusiasts. It is best suited for recreational shooting and as a training tool rather than primary self-defense due to the cartridge’s limited stopping power.

Built as an affordable, no-frills handgun, the Lorcin L22 delivers basic reliability and practicality for range days and informal target work. Always follow safe firearms handling practices, secure storage, and local laws when purchasing, transporting, or using any firearm. Consult a qualified instructor first for training and verify local regulations before making a purchase.
