Last week, I bought FirstInLine a new vacuum sweeper, even though she said not to until tho old one broke down (AGAIN.) She came home from work last night and told me she had bought me a 22 revolver. I don't know much about it, as I've not seen it yet. I tried a cursory net search and haven't found much there, either. So, any info would be appreciated.

REXIO, .22LR, 9 round, double action, 6"? bbl. Argentine, we think.

Thanks

Little help, not much, I'll piece this together:

Three important private producers still in existence are Bersa, Rexio and Mahely. All three operate
out of Buenos Aires province and produce a range of products for civilian and military markets, both
domestic and international.

Other then that, most of the websites and such are not of the english language and my ability to read them (and understand them) correctly is fading :(.

Thanks, USP. I went into some of those Argentine sites and applied my best schoolbus driver Spanish. Didn't help one bit. :D

We will find out after a bit just what it is. FirstInLine says it looks just like a Smith. Then again, she doesn't have a Smith and has probably shot one only a couple of times.

Isn't this the same manufacturer that is selling revolvers now called Comanchee? I've seen these in a couple shops here and they are Argentine. They seem stout and are reasonably priced. Take it out, shoot a brick through it and give us a range report. But if you try to make any wild claims about your marksmanship, you'd better back it up with pictures :D
 
I'm going to be shooting it quite a bit this summer. A friend/client wants me to teach him point shooting. As I haven't shot 3-balloon competition for about 40 years, I KNOW I'd better use .22 so I can afford the 9,999,999 rounds it's going to take to get back on the point. :D I'll let you know.

AFAIK, Rexio is now selling the Comanche brand of revolvers ... called up their US distributor (SGS??, they also import Bersa & Llama) and they said that the Comanches are made from an alloy. No details were given though.

That said, many bash Rexios/ Comanches but my thinking is that for the price, they are worth a try, especially with the low-powered 22LR cartridge.
 
I bot a Rexio at a gun show some years back for $147.00 mine has a 4" barrel is 9 shot blue finish. There was an article in some gun mag. calling it the best buy in .22 wheel guns.I've shot it a lot and totally agree with the article for the money they're a great gun. Max W.
 
I got the piece and have looked at it some. It appears to be a S&W clone. It does not appear to be pot metal, but actual steel. Grips are not describable here, as such language would get me on the wrong list. I hve some black walnut which will carve nicely, but that will take awhile. I'll get pictures soon. I hope to get out with a brick this w/e, but have two union classes Saturday and sumpin'r'other is going on Sunday.:D
