While it is true that .22 ammo has
also increased in price, 500 rounds of .22
LR is nowhere near the cost of 9mm or
.40 caliber ammunition. Practice trigger
control with the .22 and then apply what
is learned to the full power service load/
pistol and you will be surprised at your
level of improvement. Recently I had the
opportunity to spend a day with the M9
.22 and I was quite impressed with what I
discovered. The gun feels exactly like the

sights with the most noticeable exception
being the plastic .22 magazine. The gun
felt like a gun! Not like a plastic toy which
is the case with other .22 caliber pistols.
The trigger was reasonable, certainly
similar to a factory gun, with the reset
being reasonably short. After grabbing an
old Beretta holster (yes, it fits just fine), I
shot 400 rounds of mixed .22 ammo (some
being almost 20 years old) and while I
expected some stoppages just because the
gun was a .22, there were none!
The Chiappa M9 .22 was very
pleasant to shoot due to the large frame,
weight and small caliber which made
shooting it fast on a few steel targets quite
enjoyable… I wish I could post such
times with my carry gun! The gun also
proved to be quite accurate with several
off-hand 50 foot, 10 shot groups coming
in at 1.5 inches. The more I shot the gun,
the more I realized this would be a real
training asset for individuals, officers or
agencies that issue the 92FS/M9 and have
trouble getting shooters to perform well
with the pistol. If you are looking for a
less expensive way to shoot/train with your
M9, the Chiappa .22 is the way to go.
