.22 conveersion

I've been wanting to get a .22 DA/SA for my wife to encourage her to shoot more. A Steyr .22 would be kick-ass for sure, but with their typical new model introduction cycle I don't think I'll hold my breath and probably get a P22.

I believe P22 sales will slip as the new Sig Mosquito has just become available. It will likely be THE DA/SA 22lr pistol of choice.

Maybe this should be another thread, but can someone please explain the Sig phenomenon to me. I actually own a P228, but the only reason is because my wife likes it. The more I shoot it, however, the less I get it.

IMHO, the cons are:

1. Ultra-High bore axis - resulting in maximum muzzle flip and slower shot-to-shot time
2. Poor standard finishes that wear quickly and are not very corrosion resistant
3. Very high price
4. Relatively large size for capacity

The pros IMHO are:

1. Build quality - excellent fit
2. Durability - they last forever
3. Accuracy - some claim they are among the most accurate 9mms
4. Trigger - smooth (albeit heavy) DA, and light crisp SA

For a DA/SA with decocker, IMHO the CZ P-01 is miles ahead with smaller form factor, much lower bore axis and nearly half the price.

Somebody enlighten me!
