With a near unlimited service life - you will experience The Future of Fun™ and a great day at the range. Camping, hiking, exploring the world - ZiP™ adapts to any mission.
ZiP™ - What's your mission?
Exceptionally affordable and with more features and functionality than any weapon ever delivered to date.
The ZiP™.22 L.R. brings a whole new meaning to the term gun of the future.
ZiP™ delivers a long sought after vision of “X-box” gamers and advanced weapon enthusiasts not possible until now. A futuristic weapons system where the unique arrangement of the principal components enables overall compactness and results in a new form factor. Multiple platform enhancements including the ZiPPIC™ Rail, ZiPNite™ Rail -or- the ZiPSBR™ Rail allow attachment of ZiP™ to your AR. (Approved ATF Form 1 Permit Required.) This makes ZiP™ The Future of Fun™ while delivering the compelling new “ZiP-Action” at an incredible value.
ZiP™ has a new and efficient form factor which makes possible the new ZiP-Action™ and 5 safeties, including a traditional cross-bolt trigger safety, a new modern sear safety improved by the development of a new linear trigger, and no winding trigger bar (also eliminating any dependency on the tiny coil spring in the rear of those dated striker designs) and lastly, a striker block which remains closed for nearly all of the trigger travel – opposite of all modern striker guns – making ZiP™ one of the most advanced platforms ever offered.
These improvements will have significant benefits for future ZiP™ family weapons design and delivering unmatched value to consumers.
Last time DiFi and I had sex, she was commando.
Kinda looks like a Russian DPM
I had a DPM in my hot little hands some years ago and told a friend that this is the correct gun to mount on his Russian Ural motorcycle side car, but he didn’t buy it LOL
It would have been so cool.
Local law enforcement may have begged to differ.
Last time DIFI had sex there was primal ooze
EWwwwww!
***I guess it didn’t sell though.***
Blame Clinton’s AW ban.
Interesting note. There was a photo back then from RUSSIA showing a Russian officer holding one of these Calico firearms.
Ohhh an AMERICAN 180! Not to be confused with the AR-18.
***Worse gun ever.***
NO! The worst .22 was the STERLING pocket pistol from the 1970s. It would not fire two shots without constantly jamming. Worst pistol I EVER owned!
On the the other hand the Bernardelli VP .22 was one of the best. Wish I still had it.
I will admit that the S&W .22 did not perform well according to HANDGUN TESTS magazine (remember them?). They wanted to throw theirs in a lake rather than sell it to someone else.
Right now I have an Iver Johnson copy of a Walther .22 and it shoots good IF I use WINCHESTER ammo. Federal ammo will jam it.
Iver Johnson is not a name you hear every day.
***The American-180 was 30 to 40 years ago and 177 round magazine. ***
With an early LASER sight! They were given to the Utah prison system and when a prisoner acted up, they immediately calmed down when they saw a red dot appear on their clothes.
The owners were Mormons and gave a huge amount of stock to the Mormon Church.
***The second in the UK TV series The Professionals “Hunter/Hunted” got it totally wrong. “A fully automatic laser-sight sniper rifle firing a 22LR cartridge effective to 1,000 yards - at least”. ****
LOL! They got it right except for the 1000 yards!
I had one of those Sterlings and you are right. They were about as bad as it gets. That was when I began to get suspicious of the tests done by the major gun magazines.
The reason I bought the Sterling to start with was because of a test printed in one of those mags. They made it sound like one of the best guns ever made.
I also had a Bernardelli in of all things, .22 Long. I noticed that a LR would fit the mag and decided to test it. The first shot blew the extractor off. It might have been ok if I had found some standard velocity. .Longs were more available back then but still hard to find.
FWW PX is out of .22lr
Looks ugly
Figures someone would rather go after the X-Box crowd over the PS3 crowd.
I’m a SOCOM vet, I want my opinion to be heard.
The Ruger Factory hi capacity mag cannot keep up with the cyclic rate of your weapon. They have a drop in kit you may obtain from the manufacturer. Simply go to their website @ http://www.zipfactory.com/pages/zipquickview.aspx
You should be able to t.c.o.b. from there. Good Luck & Good Shooting, Ddoc110.
