Ack. The looks of a Glock with all of the power of a .22. Being fair, it's intended as a practice gun for your carry (Glock). The specs section claims a match grade Walther barrel in an aluminum slide. I wonder which Walther firearm they've scavenged it from. The "single action trigger" would be a bit different from your typical Glock/XD. edit: add link - www.austriansportingarms.com/index.html

OK, I've been scooped on this one by MLB. I kind of wondered how that happened, but my computer program that I run against RSR, Ellett Bros, Camfour, and SportsSouth only picks up guns when they actually have them in stock, and I only run it once a week.
They actually list 4 different models: the 4" in black for MSRP $400, the 5.5" in black for $430, the 4" in duo-tone for $440, and the 5.5" in duo-tone for $470.
"High Velocity" ammo and a "Walther match barrel". I may have been under the misguided impression that if you wanted accuracy then you wanted standard velocity ammo.
Interesting on their Spec's page they show the Remington Target ammo yielded 1.1" groups and that particular ammo is standard velocity. Also, that was 1.1" groups at 50 yards or 3 feet? ;D
I was slightly amused on the "Your M22" tab where they mentioned: "High visibility adjustable rear sight". Adjustable rear sights are nice, but what I'd really like as highly visible is the front sight where I focus, not on the rear sight. Also, the rear sight is only adjustable for windage, not for elevation. In order to change the elevation, you have to change out the front sight.
Unlike its "look-a-like" the M22 has a hammer and boasts a 4lb trigger pull. The safety also serves as a decocker. It comes with a key that you use to lock the gun via an internal lock in the trigger housing. It also has a magazine disconnect and a loaded chamber indicator.
Incidentally, I didn't check Lipsey's for inventory because their web-site is down or they have gone out of business???

buy that or one of the .22 conversikon kits for your Glock, and have the same trigger as your carry piece...if you were to carry Glock.

Ahh yes, Glocks are known mostly for their great trigger. ;D ;D ;D Seriously, I saw one of those conversion units firing out of battery and blowing out the sides of the cases - I think. Maybe it was because the ramp isn't fully supported. Anyhow, I told the guy (I was Range Officer) to not let his son shoot it.
