TC Hot Shot youth .22LR

Anyone own one of these? Picked one up today (....my daughter needs a 22LR, I swear!)

What should I expect for accuracy and reliability? Holy smokes is it tiny

I Pick one up for my 10 year old son in 2012 he got his first grouse with it. Probably shot 500 or more rounds with the odd misfire with bulk ammo. Still locks up good and functions fine. On the other hand a friend of mine pick one up and had nothing but problems with Soft primer strikes. He returned it. It's perfect entry level Youth rifle. Enjoy

They very likely use the same barrels as they used on their Contender target shooting guns. I'm assuming here that the Hot Shot was a clone of the Contender but likely with not quite as nice a finish. The Hot Shots seem a little more of a matt finish instead of the polished blue jobs of the Contenders.

They do look small until in the hands of a kid. Then they look too big or just right depending on the size of the young'un.

I would look at a Savage Mark II GY. Not likely to cost much more, and the AccuTrigger will allow a lighter trigger pull manageable for a child.

I'd expect it to be pretty good, but like any .22...try a few varieties of ammo to see what it likes.

I have one. It's on its second kid now. Hammer spring kept getting lighter and lighter so I phoned them and with the serial number they send me out a new spring for free. I like how it's ambidextrous too.

Very pleased with this gun. It is very accurate and required very little adjustment right out of the box. I can comfortably hit a 2" spinner target at 40m.

Im going to order a couple of those hammer springs though. My gun doesnt have issues but id rather those now then 10 years from now when i need them.
