I've been looking for a decent semi auto .22lr for awhile now, but have been undecided on what to get.
At the LGS this afternoon, I handled a Chiappa 1911-22 and I think I really like it. Priced at $259, it's a little more than what I was budgeting for a plinker, but I can always save up a little more.
It fits my hand well and is well balanced.
The only downside is the magazine; it felt like a cheap airsoft toy. Actually, I've got a cheap Chinese knock off air soft and its mag is more sturdy than the Chiappa. That is disappointing.
I like the gun overall, and if there are better mags available for it, I might go ahead and set it on lay away.
Does anyone have any experience with the Chiappa 1911-22 to help talk me into or out of buying it? And are there better mags available?
