ABOUT THE COVER

The recent centerfire ammunition shortage, painful though it was, yielded at least one benefit: a renewed appreciation for the .22 rimfire. The tricked-out Colt/Umarex M4 Carbine (top) combines two red-hot products - the AR-15 and the .22 Long Rifle round - into a package that offers economical practice and a whole lot of fun. Advertised as a "user-friendly adaptation of the larger P99," the hammer-fired Walther P22 (below) is a single/double-action semiauto that offers the look and feel of a centerfire combat pistol - but it, too, is chambered in .22 Long Rifle. With excellent-quality .22 LR ammo once again available in quantity, the Colt/Umarex M4 and the Walther P22 are bound to be crowd-pleasers.
