The ZIP22 an Answer in Search of a Question
With all of the ergonomics of a nice staple gun but without the quality, there is a new player on the compact/oddball 22LR market.
The ZiP22
According to US Firearms website on the ZiP, it was designed because, “we believe consumers just want to pull the trigger as affordably as they can . . . all day long.”
With that, the gun is a very forward-looking design that is almost overly safe to fire. Something like this shows potential for training safe firearms use for new shooters, or an affordable plinker for informal target shooting, survival, camping, or pest control applications.
Kind of in the same vein as the Boberg series of pistols, the ZiP22 is a bullpup-style handgun in which the trigger guard is located well forward of the frame. As such, it does not have a pistol grip that you are used to, or a slide that cycles over the shooter’s wrist. This means that the gun, while having a very respectable 5.25-inch long barrel, is still just under 6-inches overall length, which is very handy.
