#TargetPistol

Hello and welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report! This ongoing series is all about the rimfire firearm world and its many different types of guns, gear, and shooting sports! Last week we took a look at Springfield’s new 2020 Rimfire rifles which are not only compatible with 10/22 pattern magazines but also come in a wide variety of options running from the budget-friendly target models to the more refined AAA Grade Turkish Walnut Classic editions. More match ammunition is on the way so we can do some more serious testing with those rifles to see if they can be honed in a bit in the accuracy department (we’ll also be using more suitable optics for making tight groups). Speaking of match-grade ammunition, it seems that just about every firearm I’ve had the opportunity to review in recent memory has either needed or would have benefitted from match-grade rimfire ammo – and that rings true for our subject this week: the Vudoo Gun works Möbius 1911-22 Conversion. Vudoo’s own offering to the competition and target grade 22LR pistol is an amalgamation of Vudoo Gun Works’ Möbius 1911 pistol and their 22LR conversion assembly that claims to be capable of producing a sub 1″ group at 50 yards with match-grade ammunition. I don’t have match-grade pistol ammunition just yet, but today we’re going to test out the Möbius 22LR pistol with some other common ammo we do have to get some initial impressions on it.

Volquartsen Firearms is very well known in the rimfire market for their high-quality, accurate pistols often used for varmint hunting or competition shooting. Volquartsen has just announced the addition of the new Scorpion-X to their line of complete pistols. The new Scorpion-X uses the all-new Volquartsen LLV-X upper which features multiple mounting hole locations so that a wider variety of red dot optics can be directly mounted to the upper resulting in fewer height-over-bore issues.

FN America have announced the introduction of their first-ever .22LR pistol, the FN 502 Tactical. The optics-ready, hammer-fired 502 Tactical feeds from a 15 round magazine and is modelled after the FN 509 and has a 4.6-inch threaded barrel. The new FN .22 comes in black or FDE and has an MSRP of $499.00.

CZ-USA have announced the introduction of a new addition to their Shadow 2 line of pistols. The new Shadow 2 SA is a single action pistol chambered in 9x19mm, the new single action trigger is aimed to appeal to the target shooting market.
