Chiappa offers a variety of handguns, from military inspired .22 caliber pistols, to the head turning design of the Rhino revolver. Chiappa arms offers several popular modern and vintage pistols to choose from. There is even a .22 rimfire reproduction of the Remington Derringer that was produced in the late 19th century. For the more tacticool user, there is the M-Four pistol, an AR-15 inspired pistol, available in .22 LR. The percussion gun enthusiast has not been forgotten as Chiappa offers Kentucky and Le Page style pistols as well.
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.
