The Chiappa M9-22 is a .22 LR chambered pistol patterned after the Beretta M9 / Beretta 92 pistol. Two models will be offered, the Standard model and the Tactical model.
The M9-22 Standard model comes with wood or plastic grips and drift adjustable rear sights.
The M9-22 Tactical will only be offered with black grips but features a 0.5"x28 threaded barrel, for suppressor use, and will ship with a replica suppressor. It comes with a replica Novak-style fiber optic rear sight.
Both models use 10 rounds magazines, have 5" barrel and weigh 37 ounces. The MSRP for the Standard is $369 and the Tactical is $419.
Chiappa has removed the stock and shortened the barrel of their AR-15 patterned .22 LR rifle to create the M-Four Tactical Handgun.
It has a 6" barrel, weighs 4.1 lbs and a magazine capacity of 28 rounds. It will go on sale next year for $469.
The Chiappa 1911-22 is a .22 pistol patterned after the M1911. The action is not that of a 1911, but a fixed-barrel recoil system and is manufactured from steel and "Chiappalloy" (presumably a pot metal).

The market for this pistol, and its not-yet-on-sale competitors the GSG 1911, are 1911 shooters who want to practice with cheap ammunition but would rather have a dedicated gun than purchasing a .22 conversion kit and having to swap it in and out of their .45 1911.
