K22 Long Barrel Pistol from Caledonian Classic Arms- initial review plus Youtube vid

[Airbrush]

Question for the guys who've had this pistol for a while now.

Any reliability issues after serious use?

Ta.

No issues, running fine.

Round count - about 2,000, mostly CCI standard with the odd box of Geco standard.

Hi all,

Shot my second match with my Xtrim+ today, I am `over the moon` with it, its my 3rd LBP ( I`ve had a Buckmark and a IJ 1911 ), and its the first one that I seem to `Gel` with!! everything is right for me, No hang-ups at all using Cheapo Federal Champion HV, I have put about 1800 rds. through it and its getting smoother all the time.

Thanks Paul, the reason I was asking is a mate knows of a few at his club who are having reliability problems.

I tend to get through a lot of ammo in a .22 semi auto fun gun & don't fancy spending nearly a £1k on a gun which is going to spit the dummy after a few thousand rounds.

Once I ditched the 10 round magazines and bought the extended 19 rounders, my pistol has been very reliable with CCI standard and Minimags. I've put around 800 rounds (mostly Minimags) through mine so far.

I still point my finger at the 10 round magazines for my initial reliability problems, mine are gash and just live in the cupboard now. My 10 rounders have poorly moulded mag bodies which bow inwards and pinch the followers, recoil springs which were far too strong, and even with the insides of the mags sanded, the followers would still stick when feeding ammo. Had none of these issues with the extended ones (read also includes original 13 round mags as same body used for these and extended, 10 round mag bodies completely different.).

Sounds like all are happy with these no one at our club has got one yet, I may be the first.
However the old question comes up with these have you got them on a standard .22 slot as a carbine following the recent case that indicated that Long barreled pistols were not defined in the legislation or are you all applying for a Long barrelled pistol slot on your FAC with all the restrictions on others using it that follows?

I've just sent in my renewal forms and have requested a .22 Long Barrel Pistol.

For Optomist..

I think you`d have a problem trying to convince plod that your k22 or IJ/GSG 1911`s coathanger was in fact a shoulder stock!!

BRILL!! ANOTHER LBP HITS THE RANGES!!

So Airbrush wots the difference betwixt the two, is it a trigger job?

Basically the plus just has all the go faster bits including the trigger, went for the standard as I prefer the look to the milled out slide.

Hi Stuart

Do the rounds strip cleanly from the mags, it seems odd that BOTH mags have developed the same problem at the same time, a close up piccie of an empty mag and the same one with rounds in it might help us,

I would be very wary how you approach cleaning the mag shoulder, they are plakkie and it wont take much to make them a few thou oversize and the round will just pop out!

That said the mags are under a year old and if it were me I would just get them both replaced!!
