Was that what they call, "sarcasm"? We don't git much of that type of big city talk round here.
FWIW, I got an "interesting" PM, from a brand-new member here, claiming to be the Chiappa Arms Company -
logon: Chiappa Ltd
- complaining about my above reply:
"In a forum recently you wrote: 'Look up Armi Sport, their former name as junque makers.'
May I inquire on how you came to this conclusion?
We are very concerned about our image and perception of our company. We have introduced some very unique & quality products in the Sharps style (US Shooting Team model for example) the Little Sharps, the Model 92 Pistol (Bounty Hunter & Mare's Leg) as well as a host of other vintage Model 92 products that have recieved great reviews. What in our product line do you consider junk?
Thank you very much,
Chiappa Firearms"

I thought some might be interested in my PM reply:
Dear anonymous,
With all due respect, please reconsider what you read, that I posted, meant.
I didn't post that Chiappa is currently making junk, or offer any other opinion about Chiappa.
In answer to a query, I posted that Chiappa was formerly known as Armi Sport - which product(s) quality history(s) the original poster can indeed research for themselves.
Good Day

" The slide and frame are made of non ferrous alloy, probably zink based".
Who is GunBlast serving when they give a good rating to a gun with zinc in it? Certainly not the gun buyer! I'd recommend a gun like that to someone I didn't like I guess, but can't think of anyone I dislike that much!

Chiappa Firearms Model 1911-22
I just came back from the range, where I tried out a new Chiappa Model 1911-22. I went through about 200 rounds of Federal American Eagle .22 HV and Winchester Xpert HV ammo. I was quite impressed with the accuracy of the pistol, even though I was firing offhand. The trigger pull seems quite heavy, perhaps close to 8 lbs. I don't know if this will improve with more rounds fired. Overall quality seems quite good, especially considering the price. The 10-round magazine will accommodate 11 rounds. I discovered that quite accidentally, not paying attention while loading the mag, then wondering why the slide didn't lock back after the tenth round was fired. Surprise! Okay, it's not steel, and it's not a Wilson Combat custom, but IMHO it's a hell of a good shooter, especially for $299!

W_houle, I usually agree with most of the reviews on Gunblast but I don't recall ever seeing a negative review on there. That's sort of the thing about reviewing a product though. One range session isn't enough to tell you much about a gun. You really learn what the gun is like once you've lived with it for a while and had a chance to test its endurance.

If you've ever held one of their Model 92 lever-actions, you know that's where their attention to detail is placed. Perhaps you could travel to Italy and offer your services an translator!
I don't think so, but Ruger, Colt, and Smith and Wesson do. I suppose we best stay away from those brands! Thanks for the heads-up!
