Features 

 
The Accurizing Kit Competition Bolt is included as standard. The 4.5-inch barrel is threaded 1/2x28 for suppressor or compensator use. Trigger pull averages 2.2 lbs -- notably light compared to most stock .22 pistols. Fiber optic front and adjustable target rear sights are fitted. Hogue grips are standard. At 1.6 lbs, the 4.5-inch variant is slightly lighter and more compact than the 6-inch LLV version.

The Black Mamba 4.5-inch Camo variant gets solid reviews for accuracy. Owners consistently report good precision from the factory, which is what most buyers are after in a Volquartsen.

Build quality is a consistent positive. Owners find the Cerakote finish and overall construction to be of good quality, and the camo pattern draws favorable comments from those who want something more distinctive than plain black.

Ergonomics are well regarded. The Hogue grips and balance of the 4.5-inch configuration come up frequently as comfortable for extended sessions.

Reliability is generally good, with occasional notes about sensitivity to lower-powered .22 LR loads -- a common trait for precision semi-auto .22 pistols.

Price is the most discussed downside. Volquartsen sits at the upper end of the .22 market, and some buyers feel the premium is hard to justify for casual use. Competitive shooters tend to disagree.
