Though $1400 isn’t out of line for a quality pistol, i wont be spending it on a .22 .

Unless its an HK MP5 SBR .22 suppressed with a trijicon

 

[Old_Me]

i think i will be a future buying for the S&W 22 mag that just came out, at or about $650?

other than that, unless i were in my clubs "shooting team", i'd pass on this one.

 

[Grayfox]

Guns like that are marvelous pieces worthy of any competition.
The problem is that my old azz ain't good enough to take them to their full potential any more. It would just be a waste of money.

As much as i like shooting .22 i wouldn’t spend that much on either handgun or rifle (even a vintage Winchester 52 sporter).

I get a security warning from Norton every time I try to open that site.
I don’t know much about quality 22lr handguns or rifles. Just that Anschutz rifles set the standard for excellence.
Thanks for sharing.

The Black Mamba is worth every penny. If I was more serious about shooting .22 I’d own one in a heartbeat.

I'm sure it is. Is it worth THAT MUCH more than my paid-for, bone-stock 1982 Mark II 512? Not to me.

Retail pricing, varying by finish and options, runs from $1,451 to $1,854.

I think you mean Umarex

I think you mean Umarex

Yes well Umarex, but is also says HK on the side of the pistol as well as all packaging and materials also say HK. So both is tech true

Kind of like SA Echelon is HS Produkt

In my opinion, You answered your own question. Worth, is up to the individual buying and is strictly opinion based. To you, it likely is not worth the asking price. To Simon, it obviously is worth the asking price.

And being able to afford an item in no way actually determines worth either although it can influence ones opinion. If, you would be willing to pay the price asked for an item if you had the money still means it is worth the asking price, in your opinion.

Just, my opinion. And btw, I would not pay that for a .22. I have shot hi end and low end .22 pistols mnd things in between. The slight difference in shooting such a pistol brings is beyond my aging eyes and hands to get the most out of. Then since i also am not a collector its collector value would be lost upon me. Lastly there is the matter of practical application, I simply would have little practical use for such a tool. A nice Ruger Single Six with dual cylinders would fill a .22 hunting varmint and squirrel role much better.

Therefore the purchase over other .22 options would simply be a waste of money. No matter how nice they are, and they are splendid examples of the gun makers art, they simply are not worth it, to me.

Nicely tricked out pistol. Bet it would be a hoot to shoot.

A lot of people don’t know that Umarex is German for BAMF.

That's nice, everyone needs a passion. I will save that kind of look for my wife, daughter or grandkids, guns just don't get me that worked up. I do think I got close looking at the knife collection at the Alamo one time however lol.

 

[Marek71]

I'll buy a G44, P322, Walther's .22 and another one that looks nice at the gun shop and a few 1000 rounds of ammo instead
