Chiappa M9-22 .22LR

Had one for a while, worked well. Fun to shoot. Would pick one up again if I ever get a beretta 92 again. They tend to like snappier ammo to cycle the action.
 
i don't have one but was looking at getting a chiappa little badger a month or so ago. did a bunch of on line reviews and found the quality of most chiappa's was reported as being pretty hit and miss at best. perhaps most importantly, several people have indicated that chiappa is extremely difficult to deal with when approached with any warranty issues. in fact, there have been a few thread here on cgn describing the run/screw around people got from chiappa trying to resolve a defective firearm issue. the lack of warranty support convinced me to keep my ruger takedown 22 and just get a magpul takedown stock for it to use as a truck/camping gun rather than pick up the little badger. your mileage may vary but why put yourself in that position especially when there are so many other available options supported by manufacturers offering solid customer service ?

Yes reviews seem to indicate it's a bit of a roll of the dice, you can get a good one or a lemon. I have had some nice target grade 22's over the years but this one just caught my eye as a little brother to my 92A1 for fun shooting ... thanks for the posts
