So, I'm looking at the Clearance section of Bud's Guns and come across this pic of what I thought was some kind of accessory for $129. Then I see it's a .22 zip gun and I'm like "WTF? A zip gun???"
Turns out it's a "ZiP" gun from US Firearms. A .22lr semi auto bulldog pistol using Ruger 10/22 mags. I never even heard of them. So I googled it and discovered I prob will never hear of them again soon. They are jammamatic paperweights and appear to be universally labelled "Quite Possible the Worst Gun Ever Made". 
I'm thinking of buying one and just putting it away as a collectible. It's $129! |

Those are actually fun to shoot, and fairly accurate. I wouldn't buy one, but have shot a friends. http://www.gunlistings.org/uploads/3_pistols_jennings_j22_94807_1.jpg Quoted:

Buy a Jennings J22 instead: at least those have a fan club to offer support.  Those are actually fun to shoot, and fairly accurate.

Wish it was more reliable but it does alright when it gets the ammo it likes. Unfortunately, CCI Mini Mags have been like unicorn farts for the past two years. |

The USFA Zip is proof that insane people hold FFL's.
When USFA announced their 1911, I thought something like, "Why, it's not like we need another 1911". But they didn't drop their Colt 1873's or Lightning. Then suddenly, they're producing a gun that Stevie Wonder could predict was a failure. But a few people bought them; ask Burn about his. My little Mexican swap meet Jennings .22LR works fine. Needs a squirt of oil once in a while. |

I'm sitting on 12 boxes, but they're for my belt fed upper. Got lucky at my morning Wally World runs a few times. |
