Zip .22lr WHY? but I want one

[rabbitdave]

OK, clicked on the banner add for the ZIP .22lr. love the fact that you can use 10/22 mags in a pistol, that you can change it into an SBR by adding a stock, or mounting it on a rail....but WHY? Why would you want a .22lr on your rifle and add a pound to the front of the gun.

The only though I would have is if you are out of rifle ammo and you don't want to transition to a pistol, break out the .22lr to slow them down. Other than that, it's just a fun gun.

With that all said...I want one.

I mean, I don't know that there is really much a point to it other than people might find it interesting enough to buy. I mean, ergonomically, the thing looks like it would be awkward to hold IMHO. A pistol using 10/22 mags though seems like it would be great but I honestly would prefer to use the factory 10 rounds over the bx-25s and such just because I feel a pistol could be designed better around the smaller mag.

If there is a way to get it with a threaded barrel, I think I may need one! Look like fun little guns, however kinda pointless. I'm not sure either what advantage there is to attaching it to a larger rifle. With an MSRP of 200$ though I'm very curious about it anyway.

These look really neat, but the charging handle seems to get your hand a bit to close to the muzzle for my liking.

A solution looking for a problem.

Well it settles the bug out argument of if you had to take one gun would you take your ar or your 10/22. Now you can answer BOTH

Does anyone have a hands on review of this yet?

In the article it says they are a Davisons exclusive. Last time I checked on Davidsons site they weren't in stock yet.

I see no point in owning one whatsoever. But that doesn't mean that I dont want one. I think they are the coolest little things. Plus I like that you can use them as a secondary weapon on the bottom of a AR or something. Just because they don't look practical doesn't mean that they won't sell. I am going to see if I can find one online sometime.

Looks like the door lock switch I just replaced on our washing machine which makes me want one.

 

[LEaSH]

It looks like nothing else out there which makes me want one.

So if it was mounted on another rifle, would you need a tax stamp for sbr since technically youre installing a stock?

if your goal is 10/22 mags on a pistol, get a cheap tec 22

These will sell for $200 or less. Tec 22s cost more.

I'll support these guys for trying to be innovative. They get kudos for that.

Basically just so I can say "I own one"....I will own one.

I'll get one to shoot the crap out of when I am to broke to buy more bulk packs of .45 lol
