New in box with a Butler Creek Steel Lip 25 rd Magazine. Paid $229.00 at High Country Guns in Prescott, AZ. Takes 10/22 Mags. This thing looks crazy! I think it will make the top of the Ban List for sure. www.ZiPFactory.com.

A man ought to have one, just for that reason, if nothing else!

Let us know how it shoots. Tt.

FUN! Those look pretty cool, what a cool way to blast off a lot of ammo.

It will be set up with the PIC rail on top and a Micro Reddot sight. I will most likely use it for range fun with 25 rd mags. This gun is not like anything I've ever handled or seen. Won't be able to shoot it until next weekend. I can just see a politician holding one of these up and saying " No sporting purpose". That's why I had to get one now.

"Sporting" in most hobbies generally means "for entertainment or fun" -- say, model airplanes, a "sport" model is one that's neither a duration contest design, nor a scale model, it's just for fun flying. Given that common usage, "sporting" is the only purpose a ZIP can have; it's too small a cartridge to be useful for defense and not a practical hunting design (nor is it likely accurate enough for squirrels); it's strictly a "sporting" pistol.

Maybe we need to start with English lessons for all our Senators and Congressfolk...
