Mauser HSR 22 LR Compact Pistol Overview
Mauser rimfire handguns bring famous profiles to an affordable, low recoil cartridge. The HSR has the slim slide and compact frame of a mid century pocket pistol, so it is easy to handle and comfortable to shoot for long sessions.
Compact Size
With a 3.5 inch barrel, the HSR is sized like the classic European pocket pistols of the mid 20th century. The slim slide and modest grip fill the hand without bulk, which suits shooters with smaller hands and anyone who finds full size pistols awkward.
A Good First Pistol
Light recoil and a mild report make the HSR an easy first pistol for a new shooter. It teaches the manual of arms of a semi-automatic handgun, including loading, clearing and safe handling, at a cost per round that keeps training affordable.
Magazine and Capacity
The pistol ships with a 10 round magazine. Extra magazines made for this model make range days smoother, since loading 22 LR by hand takes longer than loading centerfire rounds.
Learning the Controls
Read the owner manual before your first range trip and practice loading, unloading and using the safety with the pistol pointed in a safe direction. Familiar controls build good habits that carry over to any handgun you own later.
Why Shoot a Rimfire
A rimfire is the best tool there is for building skill. Low recoil and a quiet report let you focus on trigger control and follow through, and the low cost per round means you can practice often. Many experienced shooters keep a rimfire next to their centerfire guns for exactly that reason, and it is a great way to bring a new shooter into the sport.
Choosing Ammunition
Most rimfire semi-autos run best on high velocity round nose 22 LR, usually 36 to 40 grain loads. Try a few brands, because reliability and accuracy can change from one load to the next. Bulk packs keep practice cheap, which is the whole point of a rimfire.
Cleaning and Care
Rimfire ammunition burns dirty, so clean the breech face, chamber and extractor every few hundred rounds. A light coat of oil on moving parts is all most owners need. Store the pistol unloaded in a locked safe or case, with magazines and ammunition kept separate.
State Laws
Some states limit magazine capacity or certain features even on rimfire firearms. Check your state and local laws before you order. Pennsylvania buyers can transfer at our Collegeville shop or at any FFL.
