Full sized .22 caliber pistol?

Marvel conversion on a 1911 frame...this should qualify as "full-size".

Do they still make the Sig/Hammerli Trailside .22's? I remember handling one of those in a shop and thinking they were pretty solid guns but I never had the opportunity to shoot one. Retail was around $400 so its right in the middle of the pack with your Neos and MkII/III's.

Greener - I have my MkIII Target set up just like yours with that Bushnell Trophy red dot sight - makes for a great squirrel gun.

Around $350 when they go on sale. Got my 1st from Midway but my 2nd from Marvel (directly) came with a tighter test group...0.586" vs 0.818" 50-yd 5-shot group.

SIG sold Hammerli to Walther, who's made a complete hash out of the production line and marketing plans. The pistol, renamed the X-Esse (that's marketing brilliance - name it something unpronounceable), was to be available in Mar 07, then May, then most certainly by July. Just recently, the importer for Hammerli has taken down their website.

It does seem like a great pistol: I was lusting after the long-slide target. I doubt that we'll see X-Esse - and if we do, it will be double the Trailside's asking price. Thankfully, I'm VERY happy with my Buck Mark.

This discontinued Stoeger Pro Series '95 is a clone of the High Standard Supermatic Citation. Mitchell also made them. They have either a 5.5 inch vent rib barrel (Victor model), or a 5.5 inch bull (pictured), or a 7.25 inch fluted bull barrel. It's stainless steel (not an alloy frame like the Brownings), has a nice target trigger, and many of the original CT High Standards are still out there. It has a cult like following among target shooters because it's considered to be such a "classic". The .45 style grip is called "HD military" while some other models have a "slant" (Ruger style) grip.
Plus there's also currently made Texas High Standard models too.
The 7.25 inch model weighs 48 ounces without a scope.
