Gun Descriptions

The P22 is a semi-automatic pistol chambered for .22 LR (5.6 mm) rimfire ammunition. Manufactured by Carl Walther GmbH Sportwaffen, it was introduced in 2002. The P22 may be fired double action at about 11 pounds-force (49 N), and operates as a single action with slightly more than 4 pounds-force (18 N). The P22 operates by blowback where pressure generated by a firing cartridge is countered by a combination of the inertial weight of the slide assembly and the force of the recoil spring. The action will not open until the projectile has left the barrel and the pressures have dropped to safe levels. The gun will not cycle efficiently unless high velocity .22 (5.6 mm) rounds are used.

The Ruger LCP II is the Best-In-Class Lightweight Compact Pistol. At just 5.17" long and 3.71" tall, the LCP II is designed to fit a variety of holsters and provide concealed carry options. It has a short, crisp trigger pull with a single action feel. The textured grip frame provides a secure and comfortable grip and the larger grip frame surface provides better distribution of recoil forces. The fixed front and rear sights are integral to the slide, while the hammer is recessed within the slide. Safety features include bladed trigger safety; neutrally balanced sear with significant engagement and strong spring tension; and hammer catch to help prevent the hammer from contacting the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled. Includes a finger grip extension floorplate that can be added to the magazine for comfort and grip, a pocket holster and one 6-round magazine. Specifications: Overall Length : 5.17" Weight : 10.6 oz. Grip Frame: Black, High-Performance, Glass-Filled Nylon Grooves: 6 Slide Width: 0.75" Twist: 1:16" RH Height : 3.71"
