Hammerli precision .22......... What??? Has anyone ever seen or heard of this before? He commented it as a "stupidly accurate .22" and I think it personally just looks goofy, but the grip is pretty cool.

It's a bullseye gun, good pretty much for just that purpose. The kind of gun that can shoot .23" groups at 1,000 yards, or something like that.

 

[TJSieling]

That definitely sounds like a collector gun.

 

[tradertator]

That's quite possibly the weirdest looking firearm I have ever seen.

I've seen them before, but not with the curb feelers.

 

[EPD1102]

The curb feelers are counter-balances so the gun sits very neutral in the hand and doesn't move during recoil as much to keep it more accurate. The guys who shoot those usually measure rim thicknesses on their .22 rounds and all kinds of stuff to get maximum accuracy. I'm just a .22 plinker.

Pretty much!

Nope... It's a super high end competition gun. Definite difference between that Hammerli and a collector.

This one's made to be shot. A lot.

Yep.

And they don't just measure the rim thickness. They'll weigh and sort their ammo, too.

Not made for Bullseye competition but rather it is a Free Pistol. Bullseye and Free Pistol have completely different rules.

Free Pistol

Sixty shots must be fired in 2 hours.

The pistol must have open sights and be loaded one shot at a time.

The shooter must shoot one handed and use the same hand to support and trigger the gun.

The grip cannot touch beyond the hand; i.e. the wrist must be visibly free when the pistol is held in the normal firing position.

The shooter cannot wear clothing that offers additional support.

Bullseye - Three courses of fire are followed: Slow fire in which ten rounds are fired in ten minutes.

Timed fire consisting of two five-round strings with twenty seconds for each string.

Rapid fire which has a ten second limit for each of the two five-round strings. This stage rules out a single shot pistol.

All shooting is done one-handed, standing, with no support.

thats a crazy looking gun

 

[jdewyse]

I would love to see how a gun that looks that weird functions.

 

[maxmayhem]

weird 22

I think it is a bagpipe and not a 22....Do you have to shoot it with a kilt on? HAHA

 

[Obiward]

I had a roommate that had one. Very nice shooter if it fits your hand.

 

[Drail]

Olympic Free Pistol. The most accurate pistol in the world. Look on Youtube.

kind of like unlimited class drag racing. I had one of the Russian Toz 35's. You could breath on the trigger and make it fire. Thorough bred race horse of the rimfire world. Although that toz was built like a John Deere tractor, all but the trigger.

Mystical accuracy. The finest, most accurate of its kind in the world. There's a reason olympic-level shooters use these. Too bad Hammerli's Trailside wasn't a little better thought out.

 

[sparky241]

omg! i think the grip has a growth on it and it looks like the person who made it was taking experimental meds.

 

[451_Detonics]

The grips are pretty much made to fit a single hand and while they may be close for someone else your hand would have to match the owners to have a good fit.

These are strictly single shot pistols made to shoot one round every 2 minutes.
