Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Thompson Center Hot Shot First Edition, limited to one of 1,000 produced, represents a collectible variation of T/C’s compact single-shot rimfire utility pistol. Introduced in the late 2000s as part of Thompson Center’s effort to broaden its youth and small-game lineup, the Hot Shot series was designed as a lightweight, easy-handling firearm chambered in .22 LR. The First Edition models stood apart through their limited production, special markings, and enhanced presentation features, making them appealing not only as functional field pistols but also as commemorative collector pieces. Built with T/C’s familiar break-open action, the Hot Shot offered simplicity, safety, and reliability—qualities long associated with Thompson Center’s break-action firearms.

In terms of design and performance, the Hot Shot First Edition maintained the practical attributes of the standard model while emphasizing exclusivity. Its compact dimensions, fixed sights, and straightforward operation made it well-suited for small-game hunting, target shooting, and introductory training roles. Collectors value these First Edition pistols for their scarcity and their place within Thompson Center’s broader history of innovative single-shot firearms. Because only 1,000 were manufactured, surviving examples—especially those in excellent condition or accompanied by original packaging—have become desirable additions to T/C collections, representing a unique and short-lived chapter in the company’s rimfire production.
