Are they hard to come by? I love quality 22 pistols.

The M-87 remains in production, as far as I know. The others are discontinued, but sometimes encountered at gun shows. However, they are nowhere nearly so common as the .32 and .380 versions. I have seen only three of the M-948's in my life. I saw one M-70S with pearl grips that were three lobes glued together, as far as could be told. Abercrombie & Fitch had that one, back when they were worthy of their name.

These are basically "trainer" versions of the centerfire guns. Walter's equivakent .22's are more common in the US, and they aren't too common.
