I saw this gun on sigarms website, and I really really l liked it. Does anyone know if its out or when its coming out?
What about some guesses on price?

Not to spoil the fun but is the picatinny rail really necessary?
-Ummmm,,, yes there were. Some early guns were replaced in less than a year, many with less than 10K shots through them. The typical reason was the small grip slide retaining hooks wearing out. Most everyone sees slide wear also. This is aggravated even more by the fact that the P22 often needs higher-veolcity ammo to function--ostensibly necessary to overcome the mechanical deficiencies of its poorly-engineered frame/slide fit. My prejudice against zinc is that they can precision-fit the slide at the factory, but it simply won't stay precise long. If you buy one now the parts stay on a bit better, but the major problem--the zinc slide and the small slide-retaining hooks in the grip--is still there, unremedied....The P22 is also Zinc, and there has never been an issue with the slide's strength.....
Actually on a .22 this makes more sense then on a subcompact 9mm CCW gun. The rails are good for mounting optics ... lots of folk like optics on their .22sNot to spoil the fun but is the picatinny rail really necessary?
-There was a long thread about the P22 on RimFireCentral where a German fellow who had seen both guns up close said that except for the barrel and barrel attachment method, they were essentially the same. RFC changed their board software a while back and I can't find the thread now. The guy there posted links to a number of German-language sites that showed internal views of the gas-guns sold in Germany, and they did look identical to the P22. Someone fluent in German could try searching Google in that language; my English searches for variations of "gas gun buy" come up with nothing useful at all.I've heard that the P22 is based on a gas gun many times and also that it's a complete fabrication but never seen any proof either way . Does anyone have any actual photos or proof one way or the other ?
