except that the p226 isn't a set caliber. you can have a 226 in .40 and it is still called a p226.Sixshot6 wrote:
Fair point, but its like going on about all the 1911 clones and the Icon arms P226 not being 9mm is kinda like being an regular person competing in the Special Olympics. Too easy and still bloody stupid at the end of the day. None of them are the real thing but the closest to own in Mainland UK. In truth, we come back to the thing called Reality and its what we have to live with .
well colt dont make a pistol marketed as a 1911 anymore, but other companies like s&w and Springfield do, and they all market it as 1911 whether it is in .45 or not. so i dont think those two are really comparable.
I do agree that having to have them .22 is daft, but at the end of the day its all we can have unless we want to break the law, and i don't, but thats not what this thread is about.
all i was suggesting was a name as the glock 17 refers to one particular gun of a particular caliber, and so calling a .22 version the same thing doesn't make sense, thats all
