The Chiappa Little Sharps is a single-shot falling block rifle chambered in .22 LR, weighing 5.5 lbs. with a 24-inch barrel. The hand-oiled walnut stock and color case steel receiver give it a traditional look, while the double-set trigger and tang-mounted diopter rear sight with adjustable windage and elevation make it genuinely capable for target shooting. The crowned muzzle and dovetail blade adjustable windage front sight round out the sighting system. The automatic safety and falling block action keep operation straightforward.

Owners of the Chiappa Little Sharps .22 LR tend to appreciate its classical Sharps-style looks and the quality of the walnut stock. It shows up in collector discussions and appeals to shooters who want something different from the standard .22 LR semi-auto.

For plinking and small game hunting it works well, and younger or new shooters benefit from its light 5.5 lb. frame. The single-shot design encourages deliberate shooting habits, which some treat as a feature rather than a limitation.

The most common criticisms are price relative to other .22 LR options, and the niche nature of the platform means accessories and parts are less available than for mainstream rifles.
