ISSC M22

[Gmanrules]

Hello All,
I have purchased an ISSC M2, with a 4" barrel and had the opportunity to run a couple hundred rounds of Federal Bulk and CCI Bulk through it with only a few jams. The gun is very accurate and is a joy to shoot. I know there are those who have had issues with theirs but I can honestly say after about the first 50 rounds, there were no FF's or failures to extract.

In addition, even though the action is different than the Ruger 22/45, 5.5" barrel, the accuracy is on par with one, in my opinion. I did not shoot off of a bench rest but from 25' away all groups were about a silver dollar in size with an occasional flyer because I was trying to adjust my body, while I shot using a modified weaver stance (Using a stool. ). Remember, I am an amputee, so I used a stool to shoot from but my hands and body position were more or less in a Weaver Stance.

If there is anyone out there thinking about getting one but is on the fence, I say for less than $300.00, you can’t go wrong.

I stated CCI and that is wrong. It was the Blazer 500 Bulk Pack.

The only ammo mine doesn't like at all is Aquila

Over all, how do you like your M22?

I like it, take it to range just about every trip, although they did go abit over board with all the safeties. I sometimes forget to flip the decocker lever back up.

I found this thread while searching for information on this pistol. I saw it in the lastest CDNN sports ad in my email, and was curious:

ISSC M2 22lr 4" Match Bull Barrel Austrian Mfg. Single Action Black De-Cocker
Hammer 1-10rd Mag Accessory Rail Adjustable Rear Sight
3-Different Height Front Sights 5-Safeties
#ISSCM22B $199.99

Can you guys in Maryland get pistols shipped into a dealer from places like CDNN? I hear Maryland is a pain compared to states like Virginia.

Funny but I was doing the same thing cause I got the add as well
I may have to look into this for the wife

Only one I've seen in person was pretty sweet. Didn't shoot it, just pawed at it in the shop, and I really liked the way it felt in my hand. It was 325, which didn't seem too bad to me. Seemed like it would be a pretty sweet first toy to play around with.


I really hate only being 20 still...

$200 at Bud's. Without the cash discount and add a transfer through my FFL I would be OTD with this at $235.

I know a lot of people bash Bud's but I just recently purchased a handgun from them and everything went fine.

Anyone else have any comments about this gun. I have also heard some things about it not cycling or extracting well. I am interested but would like to hear some more positive feedback before I buy a headache.

I purchased it thru Continental Arms, in Timonium. They did have to order it but they did not charge extra and I only put about a 1/3 down, until it came in.

Well, I used it yesterday at our Tenth Calvary Sister Shoot.
I did have cycling problems with about 2 rounds in 10, almost every time it was fired either it FTF or FTE. It was about equal.
It was raining the ammo and gun was getting very wet. Some of the Remington Target Ammo (We Shot about 70 rounds of it.) failed to fired after several strikes. Some also failed to eject properly. It was like the slide just would not allow a few rounds to fully eject. The shell would stove pipe. The ammo just would not give enough power to move the slide fully. I got a little frustrated and switched to the Remington Gold in the 550 bulk (a friend had some. Thank God!). It started cycling much better and there were no FTFs. Had I been thinking, I would have brought some of my Federal and Blazer bulk Ammo which I have had great success with, in the past. I know now to stay away from the Rem. Target Ammo.

I bought a generation 1 ISSC M22 and had problems from the start. The milled slot for the extractor cracked withing 25 rounds (see pic), so I had to send it to ISSC for warranty work. It took 6 months to get it back, but it still had feed issues with all types of ammo. I recently put a mirror finish on the feed ramp, which helped immensely. The gun still has intermittent firing pin issues, where the cartridge fails to fire due to insufficient impact. (It's not the ammo, because I can fire these rounds in a MkIII.)
