Chiappa M1 Carbines in 9mm!!!!!!! Non Restricted

[Holleyman]

Are they actually gas action?

Pretty much the only thing plastic is the bayonet lug.

Trigger guard and magazine is plastic. SFRC says so on their website in the rifle description. I don't think Beretta even made polymer mags so im assuming its a 3rd party mag that comes with the rifle.

I'm so on the fence, I really want one, price seems great, but if it was .38 or .357 i'd buy it instantly.

Who said the mag that came with it was polymer?

It comes with a pistol mag. Looks metal.

I'll come back when they take glock mags

The Chiappa site states the barrel and bolt are steel, which leads me to believe every other part is plastic.

I have to agree. The plastic sites, lug, and band leave a lot to be desired on the .22s.

I've handled the .22 versions and they are on the cheap side. If you are buying in .22 I'd say they are a novelty and you can easily get better quality in a more traditional .22 semi

OTOH, when it comes to 9mm, $400 is a whole lot less than $1100+ for something like a CX4

The plastic bayonet mounts have shown they are more than adequate for, plastic picnic knives.

Who cares if its plastic? Its a plinker toy. They even use plastic for wear parts on heavy equipment these days. Brownells has a reproduction steel rear sight that works and the front sight/bayo lug can be replaced with a USGI part. These little rifles are really fun. I love my M1-22.
