VERY cool, XD.

I don't have one but I think they would be a blast to plink with.  It should get lots of "OOOHHHH" at the range too.

Please post some pics


I would love to have a short barrel .22 like that, but I would like to have some kind of shoulder stock on it instead of a pistol grip (although that might make it a little bit of illegal). I do think it would be a great little gun if you were to put a collapsible stock on it - would be great to throw in a backpack to take out into the wilderness or as a camp gun for fetching small game.

I have been thinking about getting one but was waiting to find out how other peoplr are going to like them, so when you get the chance let us know, right now I am waiting for a Ruger LCP and I fear that wait maybe a long time.

Congrats on the new toy. I think you will love it.

I have had a Charger for a while and have been very pleased. Had an Eotech 512 on it for a while and recently switched to a 3-9x scope. Also, it does work well with the Butler Creek Steel Lips magazines to increase capacity to 25 rounds.

Only bad thing on mine is that the interior black 'paint' has started to come off. This is cosmetic, so no big worry for me. I've shot close to 1,000 rounds through it (easy to do with the little 22s) with no issues. Also, it is always a big hit at the range.

Enjoy!
