Item # 1952blued Alfa .22 Caliber Blank PistolRated 4 stars from 16 customer ratings. 7/28/2011
Summary: Excellent quality and reliability. Far better quality than any other blank pistols I have used in the past. I use it training Police and Protection Sport dogs, so it sees year round use. I like the ability to use quieter crimps for younger dogs, and graduate to louder loads for more experienced dogs. I have purchased several products from Gun Dog Supply and have been very satisfied with quick delivery, and excellent quality. |

By: LarryI got my alpha pistol a few days ago and love it. It's well built and looks like it will last. It's no toy. I chose the.22 so I could use different levels of sound for pups and older dogs. I was told it might jam with acorns but pointing it down it works perfect. I like all the orange on it for safety. I feel the product is well worth the money.5 102 Alfa 22 Double-Action Blank Pistol ---- 04-06-2010

I use my Alfa 22 blank pistol to start indoor track meets. It works very well and is very loud. I have actually used it at outdoor track meets and it is louder than some 32 blank pistols I have used. I am very pleased with this pistol.5 1152 Alfa 22 Double-Action Blank Pistol ---- 10-05-2008

By: Richard Miller from ILCorgi. Pet. I'm not using the gun for a dog (but I love the Corgi), using it as a track&field official for race starting. we use the 22 indoors, I also have a 32 (from you) for outdoor meets. for indoor meets with the 22, I may shoot up to 50 or so rounds over 2 to 3 hours. outdoor meets can be either the same or a lot less depending on how the meet is set up.
we use black powder blanks as we need all of sound, flash, and smoke so that runners do not have to look at us while timers on the opposite end of a track can "see" a start without relying on sound, which can have a significant delay at those distances. both the 22 and 32 Alpha are excellent at that, especially due to the porting of blast and smoke out of the top of the barrel. meet participants have noted to me the better sound and flash/smoke of the Alpha compared to a different brand blank firing gun when used back to back in a meet.
with black powder, the gun must be cleaned after about 50 rounds, sometimes more frequently. the usual problem is that the cylinder will not open or will not go back into position while reloading. the usual cause is junk from spent rounds either clogging the shell ejector or collecting at the bore end of the cylinder. the narrower bore end of the cylinder (which prevents use of true bullet rounds) tends to collect junk. the extractor has tight enough tolerances that almost anything will impact its positioning. I typically carry at least a cleaning brush with me all the time.4 1173 Alfa 22 Double-Action Blank Pistol ---- 07-18-2011

By: Paul Ott - Wichita, KS13 dogs: English Pointer, GSP, Lab. Hunting dog. If I point the pistol up into the air, it sometimes doesn\'t want to fire because the blank cartridge slides back out of the cylinder and catches on the way to the firing position. As long as I point it down or level, it works fine.4 1182 Alfa 22 Double-Action Blank Pistol ---- 07-25-2011

By: Valerie Bernhardt6 dogs: Flat-Coated Retriever. Pet. Competition dog. Working dog. I have used this product a lot -at least several times a week since it's purchase and have had no misfires.
However it is very difficult to get the spent blanks out. I have to hit the cylinder with a bumper in order to get them out to reload. I am not the only one who experienced this difficulty.
It is not as good as my old NEF ( I lost the cylinder ) but better than many out on the market.4 1813 Alfa 22 Double-Action Blank Pistol ---- 07-25-2011
