I saw the M-22 for the first time, today. Very good looking pistol and really hard to distinguish from a Glock until you make a close inspection. Very smooth to operate, but I thought the trigger was a little sharp around the edges. Looks like quality throughout. Sites are pure Glock style. Nice feel to the weapon, although I did not fire it.

Given the price, it looks like a reasonable buy. Certainly interesting that it comes with two springs for SV and HV .22 Cal ammo, . I did not find the safety features to be an obstacle, but very useful for instructing a new shooter. The side slide releases may be a problem with holstering, but not sure.

I do not see many people shooting .22 at the range, but given the price of ammo and where it appears to be going (UP), .22 cal then has it’s advantages. You can shoot all day at low cost verses .9mm, .38 Super, .40, .45 or long guns. I for one like to first shoot my high caliber pistols and then spend most of the day with practice using my .22 cal HV (Kimber and S&W).

On a scale of 1-10, I would give this pistol a 9.

I have personally inspected this weapon and it is build sound. The gun has multiple safetys including a switch saftey, a trigger lock and a system that will not allow the hammer to cock unless the saftey is not engaged. this weapon has a decocker. This gun has been thourly engineered. It looks and feels like a glock.

Pardon my vitriol, but if the same guy here is responsible for putting the non-locking safety on the single-action capable P22, and this idiot does the same thing on this pistol, I will personally ensure that we will *NOT* carry it in my store.

Any gun that leaves you hangin’ with the hammer back, unlocked, over a pin block safety that may or may not work at any given time is UNSAFE, a FAULTY DESIGN.

Wait. Is that a hammer poking out the back. That is so not right.

Reminds me of those .22lr glock conversions.

I think Wolfram Kriegleder needs a better focus group. Slide mounted control is not what I call “wanted” by Americans target shooters.

What Americans would like to see is a low cost versions of Olympic target pistols and not a tactical target pistol.

I sure hope that M22 slide isn’t made out of pot metal like the P22 and sig mosquito.

I like, but then again I like the P-22.

Ouch. A .22 LR Glock is nice, but in 2008, why so many mechanical safeties ? If it’s like Walther P22, it may even be lacking a decocker.
