Rossi R99 Plinker 22 Magnum Blued Revolver (Cosmetic Blemishes)

Overview

The Rossi R99 Plinker 22 Magnum Blued Revolver (Cosmetic Blemishes) offers a practical entry point into rimfire wheel guns for shooters who prioritize function over finish. Chambered in .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (WMR), this six-shot revolver delivers notably higher velocity than standard .22 Long Rifle while maintaining manageable recoil. The cosmetic blemishes on these units are strictly surface-level—typically minor handling marks or finish inconsistencies from storage or transit—and do not affect the mechanical integrity, timing, or accuracy of the firearm. This is a factory-fresh revolver in all functional respects, offered at a reduced price due solely to appearance imperfections.

Built on Rossi’s proven small-frame platform, the R99 features a 4-inch blued barrel, fixed sights, and a traditional double-action/single-action trigger system. The rossi r99 plinker 22 magnum blued revolver (cosmetic blemishes) is an ideal choice for budget-conscious shooters, pest control, or range plinking where the finish will accumulate wear regardless.

Features & Specs

• Caliber: .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (WMR) — 6-round capacity, offering 40-50% more muzzle energy than standard .22 LR with a flatter trajectory.
• Action: Double-action/single-action with a transfer bar safety. The DA trigger pull is smooth for the class; the SA pull is crisp and predictable.
• Barrel & Finish: 4-inch blued steel barrel with fixed front and rear sights. The blued finish on these units shows cosmetic blemishes including minor scuffs, light oxidation spots, or uneven bluing in small areas.
• Frame & Grip: All-steel construction with a comfortable rubberized grip that absorbs recoil well for a .22 Magnum. Overall length is 9.5 inches; empty weight is approximately 30 ounces.

The rossi r99 plinker 22 magnum blued revolver (cosmetic blemishes) uses a standard hand-and-pawl timing system, which is serviceable by any competent gunsmith. The cylinder locks up tightly with minimal play. These revolvers are manufactured by Rossi in Brazil and imported by Taurus International.

Who It’s For

This revolver is suited for three primary use cases. First, the budget-minded shooter who wants a .22 Magnum revolver without paying full retail for a pristine finish. Second, the plinker or small-game hunter who needs a reliable, lightweight sidearm for carrying in a holster where finish wear is inevitable. Third, the collector or enthusiast who understands that cosmetic blemishes reduce cost but not capability—and who wants a functional shooter rather than a safe queen.

The .22 WMR chambering makes the R99 effective for varmint control at moderate ranges (25-50 yards), training new shooters on centerfire-style recoil impulse, or simply enjoying inexpensive trigger time. It is not a concealed-carry revolver due to its size and weight, but it fills the role of a truck gun or camp sidearm admirably. If you are looking for a rossi r99 plinker 22 magnum blued revolver (cosmetic blemishes) to use hard without worrying about scratches, this is the right option.
