Sig Sauer P226 LBP

which is better ? a start / stop centre fire pistol or semi auto .22lr only lbp such as a sig ?

Ask anyone who used to shoot pre-ban and the answer would be pretty unanimous I would think :)

Anything with an interrupted action (lever or Mars etc.) in a centre fire calibre at a sensible price would be extremely popular

Rifles seem to be a bit easier to do right now than LBP's. There is a few more systems coming/being developed that could eventually be used as springboard. One thing I did seem to notice is that some people seem to be going about it wrong. There are plenty of not-assembled 1911 frames out there that have never been a pistol that could be used to start with, that or use a company like grandpower that is happy to do small runs as they like to go money from wherever due to being a new Eastern European company and thus more willing to do new and untested things. Going with already existing companies is always a non-starter unless there is something really big in it for them.

A LR pistol of any design is likely to be close to £2k I'd say and no doubt it would bring all the "it's too expensive", "only costs £10 in the U.S." comments. Just look at the S&Ws from RFD, Merkel and the one Wilson were trying to do.

I'd love to see it happen but it's going to be expensive.

Also the Rude Fat dog ones too. Still £2k would be cheaper than the Rudefatdog offering. I did actually have an email from Wilson explaining what had happened But I deleted like the tit I am. Its up to whoever has the time to do more it than anything. I guess we're working with what we have at the end of the day.

Well it's personal that but I prefer a .22 I think.

And I defend you right to think that. I'd rather the choice be there though.

Me too, I'd love to shoot fullbore handguns again but I think the uninterrupted nature of the LBP would win over if I had to choose just one.

When I'm shooting an LBP I honestly don't notice the LB or the rear extension. Just the target.

An interrupted firing cycle I think I'd like more on a rifle.

It makes more sense on a rifle to be fair, though good luck to whoever gets one through, in my experience one could be done on the grandpower possibly but might require a lot more work as Scott mainly built the system with a gas piston gun in mind (why he is designing the 9mm mars with a plug rather a full blowbock conversion). I believe technical designs are the issue before any legal/licensing issues come about. But whoever does design one and whoever wants one. They are welcome to them.

Be nice to see what rifles are designed first, then we can decide next on what can be done.

the SGC lever release used a simple blow back mech. surly the interuptor would work regardless of whats opearting the slide as all the interuptor does is 'catch' the slide when it recoils
