What's Included
- Iver Johnson Target Sealed 8 .22 revolver
The Target Sealed 8 design features counterbored chambers that enclose the rim of each cartridge, a hallmark of the "Sealed Eight" concept intended to protect the shooter. This example has a fluted, 8-shot cylinder and a steel, round-profile, non-ribbed 6 inch barrel.
Construction is all steel with a blued finish on the frame, cylinder, and receiver components. The grips are walnut target-style with large diamond checkering for a secure hold. The hammer is exposed and the trigger is smooth.
Operation is double-action/single-action, with fixed sights: a brass half-moon front blade and a rear notch in the topstrap. Cylinder removal is via a knurled front-mounted axis pin, consistent with the model’s solid-frame layout.
