Pardini 3d printed magazines

If you haven’t seen one yet, Pardini USA now sells 10, 15, and 20 round 3d printed magazines for the SP22.  They look hysterical hanging out of the pistol.  Unfortunately the Pardini website only has pictures of the original 5 rd mag.

The only one they show in stock is a 20 rounder. Hopefully they get the others in stock soon.  It’d blow peoples minds with a 20 rounder hanging out at our BE matches!

I couldn't understand why Pardini would make high capacity magazines for the SP22 other than it looked cool.  Now I understand.  They are making a .22 rifle based on the SP22 chassis.  This image is taken from an email Pardini send out.

Interesting but what market are they aiming at?  Really expensive for a plinker and probably not as accurate as a bolt gun normally used  in silhouette shooting. So what competitive gun game would this be for?

Hey Swissyhawk:

With a ten round magazine it opens the door for a lot of other 22LR competitions we do around here.  Until now I used to have to dig out my model 41 to be competitive in falling plates and other "fun" type matches that are locally invented at many gun clubs.  Many have a magazine limit of ten rounds per magazine to put everybody on a level playing field whereas a competitor with five round mags had no chance. 

Also, I have had a lot of people ask me what type of gun I have when they see me practicing at the range with my Pardini.  They always mention that they are disappointed that they could only load ten rounds in a magazine.


Personally, I am looking forward to cleaning up them matches and possibly recruit new shooters to the bullseye world!

I purchased 3 of the new 10 round magazines. They fit the gun well but I have a little feeding problem with one of them. I think that it can be worked out.

How recently were those 10 rounders ordered?   I too, would shoot falling plates with mine if I could load more than 5.

I ordered them right before Christmas and received them a few weeks ago. Just send them an email to get put on the waiting list if they are not readily available.

although bullseye is the queen of all shooting sports,  that may be a neat piece for  steel challenge.

For those living under the graces of Olympic exemption lists, this isn't a great look
