SIg P 322.

Next on my wish list, unusual in a .22 pistol having a 20 round magazine.

Very nice.

Seeing a SIG always make me think of one of the lads in our club.
He bought a SIG/Sauer in .45ACP, brand spanking new, with a polygonal rifled barrel. 
Being an engineer he could never stop himself fiddling, or ‘improving’ as he used to call it.

He ‘improved’ the sear to the extent that it emptied an entire clip as in full auto mode, thereby making it entirely illegal to own and rendering the warranty obsolete. 🙂

Yes, i think its a good policy to leave well alone when it comes to firearms.

In a sense it is logical, yes, to make a benefit of the .22RF smaller diameter to have twenty rounds in the magazine on this "trainer" pistol. Yet sense is sometimes nonsense. As you train so you fight. Therefore a "trainer" pistol should have the same capacity of the full calibre "brother" it trains you for. The same reason when the UK police used revolvers they trained to eject their empty cases on the ground and NOT to pick them up. It's why also many driven game shooters on clay layouts don't cover the breech of their guns to stop the empty cases ejecting.

You have sort of lost me, just put less rounds in it if you want.  Me it would be for target shooting competition etc.

I could never understand why clay shooters insist on an ejector gun, so they can cover the breech with their hand to stop it ejecting. 
Seems daft to me.

The vast majority of clay shooters I know also shoot game, with the same gun. 
It is simplicity itself to catch the ejected empties and simplicity itself not to on a busy peg.

I rarely shoot clays, in fact I have not been for three years now. 
But in the past when I have been to a clay ground most of the folk I have encountered never shot driven game.
