The ALFA Series, ALFA Steel Series and ALFA Stainless series of Revolvers are series of Czech-made revolvers designed for law enforcement, private security agencies, personal security, and hunting needs. The ALFA Series is part of the two revolver series made by ALFA: Series ALFA and Series HOLEK.
Overview Constructed entirely of steel alloy, Alfa revolvers are traditional double- and single-action firearms, equipped with hammers that are either exposed or integrated into the frame. The chamber cylinder rotates to the left to allow for cartridge ejection and reloading. The cylinder latch is located at the rear of the frame. Depending on the model, Alfa revolvers may feature fixed or adjustable sights.There is a revolver-carbine version called the HUNTER, available in .6 mm Flobert, .22 LR, and .22 WMR calibers, designed for use in small game hunting and pest control. The "Sport" versions feature ergonomic wooden grips and LPA sights.There are versions manufactured entirely from steel, designated "ALFA Steel," which are heavier and more durable than the ALFA versions.
Nomenclature The ALFA series typically employs a 3-digit nomenclature in the format "aXY", where "a" generally relates to the ammunition used (2 for .22 LR, 3 for .22 WMR, 4 for 4mm Flobert, etc.), "X" denotes the barrel length in inches, and "Y" indicates the sight type (0 for fixed, 1 for adjustable, and 3 for LPA). In the case of CO2 versions—where the format shifts to "a.bXY" where "a.b" represents the projectile caliber used, measured in millimeters (4.5 or 5.5 mm). This nomenclature does not apply to HUNTER versions or to blank-firing versions.
For the ALFA Steel series and ALFA Stainless series, the nomenclature consists of 4 digits ("abXY"), wherein "ab" represents the type of cartridge used (22 for .22 LR, 23 for .22 WMR, 92 for 9mm Parabellum, 99 for 9mm Flobert, etc.), while the letters "X" and "Y" follow the same rules as in the standard ALFA series.
