ISSC M-22 CO2 Air Pistol

the size is similar to a carry gun

trigger is verry loose, I fixed it with 4 washers made of soda can 2 on either side. The barrel had a decent amount of rust in it rite out of the box, and bbs fall out of the barrel when it is pointed downward even slightly. also the gun shoots about 8 inches low at ten yards. got this for practice and fun, had my hopes up. oh well.

the trigger pull is verry long, the trigger needs to go all the way forward or you will not pick up a bb, word of advice stay away from anything made by air venturi.

I like this gun because I have a small hands. This Gun Grip is a perfect...

No...

No...

I own one of the originals that came in a box from ISSC. I’ve always loved that gun and was skeptical of this one from ASG. There is no difference. It kicks hard and is quite accurate at 25’. The slid is metal and even though the lower receiver is polymer it’s not flimsy

Nothing!

OK,, WELL,,, Hmmmm... Alright,,, I bought the ISSC M-22 as a Refurb,,, about 2 weeks ago. What I liked about the Gun was it's Looks,,, Seeing that it is "Spot On" with the real Austrian .22 cal firearm ,,and that it STRONGLY resembled the Glock 18c & 19. Plus the fact it had no Orange tip, was a plus.

THE ENTIRE CONSTRUCTION ! This gun was NOT Designed to handle the Power of a Fresh Co2 Canister . The internals need a total overhauling , with the object focusing on QUALITY. Tolmar , to my knowledge, and as far as the few guns I have from them, is a No-Nonsense company. For them to produce a gun like this, with so many issues is Poopity-Doopity,,,

As Far As The I S S C --- All I could SEE,,, was The SLIDE go FLYING THRU the AIR--- after Literally 5 (five) SHOTS,, and landing on my bed...
So Glad I purchased it from PYRAMYD because of their Return Policeeeeeeee.....

Its great looking. Works very well and Pyramid air shipped it fast.

It has to much co2 pressure. It should be cut back just a little.

To much co22 pressure. I cut mine back! I added a piece of black plastic just below the rear sight and it cut back the co2 pressure. I went from 4 reloads to six. The last five shots I have to shoot doubles action. I do not believe it will void any warranty. If anything it should make the pistol last a lot longer. Use Pellgun oil for every co2 change just a little on the tip of the co2 is all you need,

Great gun, Hard kick, very realistic for practicing using a firearm. Reasonable accuracy if you don't rapid fire.

See below.

As one other person mentioned this uses a lot of CO2 to rack the slide and it takes a while for the CO2 to be ready after a couple of shots. After 2 or 3 shots you need to wait. This is a function of the CO2 taking time to change from a liquid to a gas to power the gun. I thought I had a defective gun because I would fire several shots and the last ones would go low or just drop out of the barrel. The slide will still kick fairly hard but the BBs will drop. Likewise don't try to get more than 4 magazine refills out of the CO2. You will still get a nice recoil from the slide but the BBs will drop. Likewise if you shoot in a cool basement like I do it will take longer for the CO2 to charge the gun for subsequent shots. I can partially help that by putting a warm rice bag over the gun to warm it up before shooting. I live in Montana, did not have that problem when I lived in Alabama!

Looks and realistic features of the gun

The way that I purchased it! I should have bought it new instead of refurbished!

I heard and seen great reviews on the New M22 bb pistol. Purchase new! I had an unjust experience purchasing refurbished. Several shots and the slide popped of the gun! I sent it back to Pyramid Air!

This is a very very realistic replica of the real ISSC M-22 (which is almost the same as the Glock 19). If you are a Glock fan like me and want something for training for plinking this is the perfect CO2 pistol. This gun is by far my favorite modern blowback pistol in my collection. You can hold it very comfortably due to the ergonomic grip design. I look forward to adding a laser dot attachment soon.

I don't mind the mold-in safety though it would be nice if Air Venturi could paint the safety indicator dot red to make the gun look even more realistic. Accuracy is ok, which is expected from a short barrel air gun. (I get about the same with the compact Glocks anyway). I like this type of trigger design in general but you need to be careful. If you press the trigger far enough it would load a BB. If you decide to let go and fire the gun again, it would fire two BBs.

The first few shots from a CO2 cartridge would kick pretty hard. Do not rapid fire more than a couple of shots (I wouldn't really recommend more than two shots) since it does take a little longer for the CO2 pressure to recover in this gun. I get about 4 full clips per 12g CO2 cartridge and some so it does consume CO2 slightly faster compare to, say, Daisy Powerline 5501. For what it's worth, I love this gun.

overall feeling is very realistic; very efficient on CO2 (much more efficient than Colt Commander, which is a great pistol)

adjustable sight is wobbly; spring for the slide is too weak; trigger design is that half pressed trigger feeds BB, which means you cannot point the gun down (otherwise the BB will fall out half way). also keeps missing bbs (sometime empty shot, then the next shot comes out 2-3 bbs), this might be due to defective refurb unit.

The gun is amazing. The weight makes it feel like a real gun and its metal slide and polymer frame give it a more realistic feel. It has adjustable sights and a full-size magazine with an encasing for your CO2 cartridge. The gun is fairly small compared to most BB guns, but not too small. Pyramid Air gave me a catalog along with a catalog that displayed all the guns that that the company sells with their specs. It also had a 10% off coupon. They emailed me another 10% coupon and also a 5% coupon. The gun is very reliable and has good power. I did not chrono the gun but it can pierce a can pretty easily but won't go through the other side. It has a railing on the bottom for connecting lasers, flashlights, etc.

For this gun, the price is a bit too high. I would provide options for customers to buy the gun in different colors such as OD green or desert earth color. Also, the slide does not blow back too far. It almost feels like the slide is not really moving, but do not underestimate the recoil. The recoil makes it feel realistic. You can only get about 70-90 shots with each CO2 cartridge, which isn't too shabby and can shoot up to 5 full mags. The adjustable sights are really confusing; I cannot figure out how to set it and even when it is centered the accuracy is really bad. It does not shoot where I am pointing no matter how accurate my aim and stance is. Accuracy is not terrible but can definitely be better. The safety is another nuisance. It's very annoying having to take out your allen key to set the gun to fire or safe whenever you use it.

Overall, the gun is great. It's worth buying, but make sure you follow the safety procedures that come with the manual. THIS IS NOT A TOY. It can actually cause major injury or even death. For practicing purposes, it's good.
