sr22 pistol?

[revobreaker]

Looking for a rimfire pistol, haven't really narrowed it down much was thinking maybe m&p22, one of the 1911 style... i don't know

Anyway, was wondering if any one has experience and if it is even available in MD yet?

I am also intrigued by this pistol, particularly because it does NOT have a cast-zinc slide, like most .22 pistols of that sort do. Ruger claims it's made from aluminum, which should be it's substantially more durable than most other .22's like that (Walther, Mosquito, various .22cal 1911's, ect).

I very much want to see one in person and fondle it.

That also caught my attention about it, and the m&p, but the ruger seems to be a little easier on the wallet

Edit: The MSRP is only about $20 difference, I thought it was more for some reason

I plan on picking one up as soon as they hit the market here in Maryland

 

[revobreaker]

Have you heard any ETA on that?

 

[ffemtreed]

I have my cash saved up waiting to get one of these as soon as they hit the MD handgun roster.

I am sick of waiting of new guns all the time!!!!!!!! I waited over 3 months for the ruger 1911 and finally gave up and used my money towards an AR-15 instead, I figured MD would rather me have more AR-15's than a 100 year old pistol design.

Add me to the waiting list... I heard June/July timeframe, but not sure how accurate that is.

guess I should have post this in here, but bottom line so far (400) rounds I like it, a lot.

I'd skip the Chiappa and look at the ATI GSG 1911's honestly.

The SR22 is an aircraft grade aluminum slide. They are very nice. One of the guys at the shop purchased one, and the dozen or so that have arrived in stock have all sold within a few days tops.

Yep only the lack of a threaded barrel swayed me to the M&P.

According to a Ruger rep I talked to at a Distributor show they are supposed to be coming out with a threaded barrel SR22, so that will be good to hit that suppressor market for sure.

Look for the SR22 to be on the roster about 45 days after this Friday (3/9/12)

How did you come up with 45 days? Is the board meeting on 3/9/12? Just curious.

I think that's when the meeting is. The 45 day wait time is standard. There's something in the law about it.

Also worth noting is that the ISSC M22 has an aluminum slide as well. Good to see some better options appearing in this space of the market...

I just heard that the ruger SR22 is on the agenda for March 8th review. IF THEY HAVE A QUORUM.

 

[Bikebreath]

What, no recall jokes? You guys are slipping up...

 

[sdog]

has anyone else seen the review on this from gunblast?

this thing can eat a whole range of ammo, which is a BIG selling point when compared to a picky sig mosquito, and even my own ruger 22/45 bull. They need to come out with a threaded barrel version of this soon. either way i think as soon as this is on the list i will be vising Mark @ 2A to get one for myself.

Board meets and then publishes their findings in what is called the State Ledger, a legal document that anyone can read. There is a 30 day period where someone can object to any of the guns just approved. Add in a few days here and there for paperwork and processing and you get a 45 day ballpark figure before the new models are listed on the web site.
