Owners of the Volquartsen Black Mamba generally praise the build quality, noting the fit between the barrel and frame feels tighter than typical rimfire pistols. Reliability across different .22 LR ammunition is a common talking point, with some owners finding certain bulk ammo needs a break-in period before cycling smooths out.

The threaded barrel and Picatinny rail make it easy to add an optic or a suppressor, and shooters who compete in rimfire matches like the adjustable sights and the fiber optic front for fast acquisition. The G10 grips get positive marks for a secure hold during rapid strings of fire.

On value, the Black Mamba sits at a higher price than mass-market .22 LR pistols, and owners weigh that against the competition-oriented features. Aftermarket support for Volquartsen parts is considered strong among rimfire competition shooters, which some see as justifying the cost.
