Has anyone out there shot one of these? I saw one at the roadway inn ginshow and it made me curious. It takes any 10/22 mag and seems very awkward to shoot. I would like to know if anyone has any range time with one and perhaps a review.

I haven't seen one in person, but Handguns magazine had an ad for them.

It's different.

Yep...never even heard of it. It's a bit of hype for a .22lr, but interesting.

The one reviewer on youtube. The gunwebsites guy has some video up shooting it. And it jams... and jams... and jams...

The charging buttons are right by the muzzle as well. Like hand out in front of the weapon almost. Combine that with the peculiar grip arrangement and my interest fell apart.

I thought it might to be fun to play around with at it's low cost. But I don't like putting my hand near a muzzle to charge a weapon. Seems like a pretty bad design.

I bought one because it the weirdest thing I've ever seen and I love the idea of a pistol taking the 10/22 mags. I have not fired it yet but if you look at their website it tells you a 10/22 mag will jam unless u retrofit it with the drop in adaptor the sell.

I started looking into them after reading about them on the other thread about these handguns.

When I finally saw the demo and the need to put your hands right where they should never be, I was less interested too.

I liked the idea, a 22 pistol that holds more than 10 rounds and the crazy low price of $200 but I want something more traditional. I think this is a much better option even though it retails for $400:

I've read they are absolutely jam-o-matics......

Edit; clicky clicky...

+1,000,000.

Incredibly stupid ergonomic design in the name of offering something unique.

It won't be long before the first personal injury / product liability lawsuit . . .

That thing almost looks like it would be fun as hell to play with.
