name this hero of yours, as the statement doesn't work in a google search.

No hero, no written words in google just someone who is a gunsmith by trade in the USA. Like I said just an opinion they are only valid if you trust their source.

More importantly, no reason to name someone without permission, especially if they are not a forum member.

I read it as someone more experienced that the poster

Indeed, he’s not a forum member. Just someone who’s opinion i value on such matters.

Most of these type of .22 are made at a price and use cheap materials and are poor quality. Its not a .22 you will see at the ranges here, i wouldn't pay more than £300 for one.

The .22lr PPQ has a different firing mechanism to the 9mm, so unless he has experience with specifically the .22 variant then his view may well not be valid.

Lets face it we live in a place where they have to be monstrously modified just for us to be able to own them. If I lived in the USA or similar 'free' country, then I am sure I would be more choosy, but since the main other offerings over here are scale models of a .22lr 1911 made of monkey metal and brazilian revolvers, I reckon it worth a punt

With a market that measures in the tens of thousands at best do you blame them.. As a post ban shooter I am just grateful anyone is bothering which allows me to have fun with my GSG 1911..
