They are about $500, and even CA legal with a 10 rounder( give it time)

If these things prove to be reliable and some what accurate( IE say better  10/22 range...if not they can keep it.)  I'm getting one.

Don't know why you think we would hate you?  I am surprised that that gun is CA legal!  I thought if it had more capacity than a double barrel shotgun it was evil in CA!

its do to the fact that its rim fire... otherwise it would be evil.

How is a 7 inch barrel rifle (or pistol with a butt stock) legal?

You are right , I hate you ;)     500.00 is a pricy .22 thats not a tack driver. I wish it was in a larger cal.

Faux silencer pumps it up to 16".

Slightly off topic, but don't forget at least one NRA board member wants magazines restricted to 5 rounds.  That's Joaquin Jackson.

Then J. Jackson has to go. OK NRA life members, ( Annual members can't vote.) Take care of business.

Maybe it's an AOW and you have to pay a stamp on it?   ???

Man that just looks like loads of fun.   ;D  I went to their websiite. They don't have tons of info.  The you tube vids are fun.  Has anyone out there had any experience with one?  $500.00 is a little steep, for me at least, but having said that you can shoot all day for around $20.00.   Also I only saw the one US dealer...americantactical.us

Someone, I THINK it was Mitchell , used to make a .22 copy of the PPsH-41. Had a 50 round drum mag. I handled one in a gun store back in the 80's, didn't get to shoot it, but it handled nicely.

That looks like fun but for $500 i'll keep Ruger 10/22 :)

Calico makes a cool looking .22 but I hear the mags are junk and that it just doesn't work as advertised.

Hazcat, that was true when they first came out but I think they have fixed that problem check out their line of products                   http://calicolightweaponsystems.com/home/

A friend of mine had the Calico pistol, in 9mm said he liked it, never mentioned magazine problems. but he had a stroke not long after and I don't know how much he got to shoot it.
