SHOT SHOW 2013 ZiP gun, from US Firearms

DO WANT. Especially if it takes normal capacity 10/22 mags... Canadian retailers; please stock this baby but please don't do any crazy 300% mark-ups! :)
 
If these make it to Canada isn't it possible that it would impact the legality of all 10/22 mags that hold more than ten rounds? I'm just thinking about the S&W M&P 15-22 fiasco that occurred when they brought in the pistol version.
 
I think it would be hilarious to run it on my 10-22 marauder as a master key up front. You could put a lot of lead down range at some gophers real quick. I do sort of see it as more of a novelty firearm. Probably pretty fun for a nice summer day in a gopher patch. Sadly, it would probably be restricted so only the gophers at the range would get to experience it.

NO! FFS how many times does this have to be mentioned. If this was the case we would already have no +10 round 10/22 mags because of the Ruger Charger.

Not exactly. If for instance if Butler creek advertised thier 25 round mags as being for the Ruger Charger then they would be considered prohibited device's. Just like the OEM Ruger BX25 mags. Never underestimate the power's that be abilty to use nuance and free-handed interpretation of the law to forward thier agenda. I suspect that Ruger Charger's in themselve's aren't such a big concern. Where do you even buy one in Canada? How many have you ever seen at the range? And realistically isn't it just a fugly, factory chopped rimfire rifle? A small, cheap polymer pistol with a hundred time's more mass appeal than the Charger is a different story altogether. Tell me I'm wrong.

Ok. You're wrong. Butler Creeks were designed and intended for Ruger 10/22's decades before the introduction of the Charger pistol. Regardless of what the packaging said, the mags were originally designed for a rifle they happen to fit a pistol. Same fuzzy logic the RCMP have been using all along.
