    That's promising. I would think the threaded and/or plain 106mm barrel will attract many more customers then having a bulky ugly fake comp on the end.

    Yes, no comp just a 106mm plain barrel, and it's a hit.

    +1

    I will be all over this if it can be had without an ugly extension. That's what ruined my P22 for me. Please keep us posted if a 106mm barrel is an option.

    You can add my name to the 106mm barrel crowd. I'll buy one if they tack on the necessary couple millimetres or whatever it is. HK, SIG, Walther and Steyr have all done this (on some models anyway) for the Canadian market. This company can do it too.

    A gun with a compensator is an absolute non-starter for me. I will not even consider buying it.

    I had the Walther P22 with the compensator. I took it to the range exactly once. The compensator started moving around. I hated it. At which point I took it Barry at Bits of Pieces had it modified (ditch the comp, cut the barrel and barrel sleave to 106mm, re-threaded the barrel for a new end cap that held it together). In its modified form it was a huge amount of fun for about 2 years. Ultimately the slide cracked after about 35,000 rounds (sometimes as much as 500 rounds a day!) - much of which was high and hyper velocity stuff - but it was fun for the two years or so we had it.

    I just mention this story to make a point... fake, unnecessary compensators suck and I will never buy another gun with one. They look bad and they function even worse. That and... I guess the other point of my story is... I hope this new gun is built tough to withstand the pounding of thousands of rounds of high and hyper velocity ammo... cuz that is what makes these little guns fun... or, at least, that is when they are at their funnest.

    I just checked the numbers: 4.09 inch is 103.886mm, so adding 2mm to the barrel would work. Hell, even 1.2mm would get it over 105mm for Canadian purposes. That would work a lot better than the 3/4 of an inch or so that the Walther P22 was short.

    Isn't this the most insane thing you have ever heard of? We are talking about adding 1.2mm (something which will not even change the appearance of the gun to an expert) to the front edge of the barrel of a gun. And the gun we are talking about is a little plinker for kids, teaching new shooters, and just having a little cheap fun at the range. God, I hope the Conservatives can get a majority some day and bring some kind of order this embarrasing mess.
