The Model 22 VH pairs Dan Wesson's renowned modular barrel system with .22 LR chambering, offering precision and user serviceability. The 8-inch VH shroud adds a ventilated rib and full-length underlug, while the muzzle nut allows precise barrel-cylinder gap adjustment.
The revolver uses an all-steel, high-polish blued construction with a Monson, Massachusetts frame rollmark from the pre-1991 era. The six-shot fluted cylinder, forward crane-mounted release, and fully shrouded ejector rod round out a robust, purpose-built design.
Controls are straightforward and refined: double-action/single-action operation, a smooth-faced trigger, and an exposed hammer with a serrated spur. The factory one-piece hardwood target grip with DW medallion provides a solid, consistent interface.
Sights are fully adjustable iron sights, with a ramped, screw-retained interchangeable front blade and a square-notch adjustable rear. This setup supports clear sight alignment and easy front blade changes to suit preference.
