Does not like SV rounds. I bought it instead of another gun due to the safety of a single actioin, trigger lock and hammer drop. My wife is a non-shooter and these options made her feel better. She now likes shooting with me. Bought an M-22 and had terrible problems with it until I polished the feed ramp and fed it HV rounds. Does not like SV rounds.

I find the handling as far as grip and trigger pull to be right up there with the Glock. Load up on cheap CCI 22's and enjoy the range time. When you shoot your centerfire Glocks you will feel like you have been shooting it all along. The M22 is a new design 22 pistol that's better than sliced bread and bottled beer.

Again, for the price a very reasonable weapon. Somewhat overbearing with all the safety features. Really best cycling HV mini-mags and will jam with SV sometimes. I little difficult to reassemble after cleaning unless you practice the same. Balance and accuracy is very good. Rail for a laser or attachments is good. Site adjustment is excellent. I've put about 1500 rounds thru with virtually no problems. I would recomend this weapon as a very good target piece. Not so suitable for any personal defense or CC. Good packaging and a very good set of instructions. Far superior to a conversion kit for a Glock. G. Nolan I did buy the ISSC M-22. Again, for the price a very reasonable weapon.

It is a superb weapon and functions flawlessly. It's accuracy is also very good. I'm sure this will be a pistol that will become a classic and will be in much demand.

Nolan Fri, 04 Sep 2009 02:22:40 +0000 http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/?p=4460#comment-14000 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.

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. I have personally inspected this weapon and it is build sound.

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.

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 think Wolfram Kriegleder needs a better focus group.

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. Ouch.
