At ISSC Austria they recognized the demand for an all-around training gun.  So they developed a pistol that would expose the shooter to operational features found on today's defensive handguns, while shielding the shooter from the excessive costs of defensive ammunition.  Ideally, anyone who trains properly on an ISSC M22 should be able to effectively move from hammer-fired to striker-fired pistols, as well as place shots not just on target but within the X-ring circle.


Like every rim fire pistol, the new owner should break the gun in by first firing at least 200 rounds hi-vel ammo.  The M22 will give its best performance with 40-grain, CCI Mini-Mag (round nose) or Blazer Hi-Vel ammo loads.   After shooting 200 rounds, the gun should be cleaned, lightly oiled and the feed ramp polished.  This will make the gun function to its maximum capacity and capability. 


In choosing ammunition, they recommend CCI Mini-Mag 40-grain (#CCI0030). The gun also shoots well with Federal Game Shot 810, Remington Yellow Jacket and Blazer 40-grain loads

The M22 is the ideal range pistol. The M22 brings you handling and performance that is closer to the modern defensive handgun than any other rim fire pistol. Designed for inexpensive high velocity 22LR ammunition, the accurate rapid fire performance of the M22 offers the shooter an economical shortcut for modern pistol practice.

The M22 gives shooters the opportunity to shoot with extreme accuracy due to the combinationf a Lothar Walther match barrel, standard on all models, an extremely crisp, 4-lb single-action trigger and adjustable sights.

Each M22 comes with a 10-shot magazine, manual, training target and tools to adjust the front sight and lock the trigger in place.
 

In addition to its economical approach to handgun shooting and training, all ISSC M22 pistols are equipped with multiple safeties to insure that shooters will enjoy their shooting time to the maximum degree.

The safety devices on the M22 pistol are:

*  Hammer drop-down which also blocks hammer from firing pin;

*  Loaded chamber indicator at rear of block;

*  External key-lock to lock trigger in a no-shoot position;

*  Trigger safety tab that keeps trigger from being pulled unless trigger finger is securely around the entire
    piece.

*  Magazine disconnect which does not allow gun to be fired unless a magazine is inserted into the grip.
 

All ISSC M22 pistols are finished with our proprietary Ti-clad finish which is comprised of the same chemical properties used by automobile manufacturers for exterior auto paint.  This finish guarantees not only a very strong and even application, but protects your M22 pistol from all the elements that might otherwise harm the finish, including water, cleaning residues, gun powders and other toxic chemicals. Our two-tone models are finished in a brilliant, titanium-white colour, one of the newest and most advanced pigments on the market today.

 

The ISSC M22 semi-auto pistol was designed by Wolfram Kriegleder, who previously designed the P22 pistol for Walther.  His experience with Walther and other companies gave him the desire to create his own company that would incorporate his innovative design ideas into new firearms.

 

ISSC is located in Ried, Austria, which is where the M22 pistol is manufactured prior to world-wide distribution.  The company's design and engineering work is accomplished at the company's ESC subsidiary, located in Ulm, Germany.  ESC, which stands for Engineering, Sourcing and Consulting, is a fresh approach to firearm manufacture, in that this company aggregates all new manufacturing technologies, applies them to small-arms manufacture and then brings these new technologies to other countries.
