    It would Be classed as restricted because of the 10 shot mag unless you could get a 5rd ?

    most of the pistols on the famous list are 10 round too , but can be pinned to 5.

    Isn't the barrel only 3.5 inches and thus restricted?

    As above, a mag can be pinned to only take 5, the problem with the sr22 pistol is that the barrel length is 3.5" or 8.89cm, which is less than the 10cm minimum barrel length for a short firearm.

    Yeah looks nice alright :) If you like 1911's have a look at the colt rail gun .22lr. Nice gun and you can licence it here.

    She really looks like the Walther P22 - hope it shoots better though.

    Thanks for the link. I'll ask around see if anyone has one and give it a shot.

    Might even pick one up.
