Just bought a new 1522 last week at the local gun shop. Paid $389 + tax. Bought 4 magazines (14.99 each). I took it out on Saturday and put 200 flawless rounds through the gun. The 1522 is awesome. My 13 yr old daughter shot about 25 rounds through it. She can't wait to get to our shooting spot later today.
I shot CCI mini mags and stingers out of the gun. They fed perfectly and the gun went "CRACK" everytime I pulled the trigger. Accuracy was great at 25 and 50 yards.
Thank you to everyone who's posted on the forum. I used your information (both good and bad reviews) to make my decision. So far, no regrets!
