ISSC M22 (GLOCK clone)

Anyone have one? Looks like a good plinker.

Ive handled one but havent shot it.

The gun feels pretty good, solid construction, decent quality polymer, seems to have decent metallurgy too.

Wasnt really a fan of the safety but i guess if you really want a dedicated glock sized .22 you’re just going to have to deal with it.

What surprised me the most is that the damned thing still exists. I would have thought Glock would have sued the pants off of these guys by now.

That’s pretty much what I thought about the one I handled at a recent gun show. Maybe Austrian Arms has a license agreement with GLOCK?

For the price ($400 I think) one might just opt for a .22lr conversion kit.

Well if it is priced similar to a .22 conversion…

This is the equivalent to Glock as the GSG is to HK. Amazing.

I have no idea how much the conversions are going for these days. But I really want a dedicated .22lr. So I may get the M22.

I handled one of these at a local shop a while back. I believe the price they had was $399…
Felt just like a G19 though.

well, glock doesn’t make a 22, so it’s not really competition. :confused:

It’s not about the competition or the lack there of but a copy of the GLOCK design.

it may actually sell more glocks. people start with the 22 cal, and then buy a centerfire glock to go with it.

i’m sure glock is aware of it, they just gain nothing but suing this company.

Isn’t the normal term of validity of a patent 20 years?

The turks make a glock clone in 9 mm since 2006:

So this thread is pretty old, but I didn’t want to make a duplicate thread. Does anybody have any experience with this gun? Cabela’s has them for around $350. I’ve got a Gen4 Glock 19 and want to either get a .22 conversion kit or this for a cheaper practice tool. I don’t want to pick this thing up and only then find out if it is a pile of shit or not, surprisingly Cabelas only has 2 reviews about it, which seems strange.

Sorry here’s the link.

Yes. They are crap. Avoid.

I have come across five or six at the club and only seen one which would make it through a full magazine without jamming or FTF.

I would give it a big Pass.

mine ate thousands of rounds of CCI blazer bulk, seems like they prefer one type of ammo. Once you find it, buy it up.

It’s not a Glock “clone”, it’s basically a Walther P-22 made to look like a Glock.

Some former Walther employees & some former Glock employees got together and made this SAO (hammer fired) .22LR semi-auto pistol.

Expect the similar reliability and accuracy of the Walther P-22, due to it being it’s main influence.

This! They are extremely preferential with ammo. I wanna say it was faster 40 grain solids that ran like a champ. Anything else was a disaster. I would say go for it as long as you are willing to feed it the right food.

$339 @ Turner’s.

Thanks for the feedback guys, looks like I will be focusing on going with a good conversion kit for my 19.

Reliability of the P-22? YUCK!
