After shooting three 500 shell boxes of ammo through my new 22a1 pistol, I have to say I'm a little disappointed. I didn't realize it had a piece of plastic inside it that needed to be changed every 300-400 rounds. How long are these little pieces of plastic going to be readily available? The gun will be useless if they quit making them. I'm sure after they come out with several new models, these will be obsolete, and these will be sitting around gathering dust.
All of the guns made now with magazines are like printers. After buying them you have to pay about half of what you paid for the printer for an ink cartridge. It's the same way with the price of a magazine for these guns.
It does shoot fairly accurately, and I like the gun. The little piece of plastic doesn't cost very much. I guess I need to find a place that sells them buy the dozen, if I plan on keeping the thing, and shooting it much.
I'm not really into these 22 pistols much. Maybe all the brands have little pieces of plastic that need replaced. I didn't know I needed to ask.
