A couple eye rollers in that one.
The Chiappalloy thing made me chuckle (card carrying P22 basher here). You would think by now that gun owners would be aware that Zinc alloys are not used in quality firearms (ever).
"Major parts of the pistol, including the slide, frame, and some internals, are made of Chiapalloy, a proprietary zinc-based alloy that is durable, easily machined, and readily blackened by an electrolytic process..."
Apparently the the triggers parts are/were made of this stuff. They're phasing in steel parts (wonder why?).
Regarding the 10lb trigger pull.
"According to the company, the alloy used for the trigger components work -hardens with use, eventually yielding a pull of around 5 lbs".
I thought that was curious. Should be hard out of the box. How does it maintain the correct geometry? They managed to shoot 1" groups at 25 yards average with a 10lb trigger. Possible I suppose.
