The world of defensive handguns is generally centered around 9mm and .45 ACP pistols. This is understandable considering their ballistic performance. Yet for some people, these rounds are simply too much to manage. In such situations, many people turn to the venerable .22 LR and .22 WMR. While defensive purists may scoff at these rounds, I am a firm believer in the adage “any gun is better than no gun”. I will also say that while some people may look down their nose at the .22 LR, I have yet to find anyone willing to let me shoot them in the leg with one. A company that has an option in this underserved area is Standard Manufacturing. Their newest pistol is the SR1 Revolver.
SR1 Revolver – Personal Defense Revolver from Standard Mfg. Co
Standard Manufacturing Co. has announced the introduction of the new and innovative SR1 revolver. The features of the new SR1 revolver make it the perfect personal defense revolver due to its ergonomic design, ease of use, safety, and reliability. The SR1 revolver is available in .22 LR and .22 WMR rimfire cartridges. The .22 Win. Mag. rimfire cartridge was selected for its ballistic performance combined with very low recoil.

The SR1 features an innovative double-cantilever trigger with an integral blade-style safety. This system provides concise and deliberate trigger pulls for shooters of all abilities. In addition to the blade-style safety, the SR1 features a double-action system that fires only when the blade safety is depressed and the double-cantilever trigger is completely pulled, effectively eliminating any chance of accidental discharge. The SR1 offers the universal simplicity of operation of a double-action revolver.
