Because my salesman was not answering his phone on Friday I will not be ale to order my 522 till Monday.. ArrrrrGGGggggg!!!!

Question is on model numbers:
522SDB and 522SDLB

There is about $50~100 difference in price. I know the L is considered the Light Weight for kids and Women (hehe). But I have not found out what the difference really is.. Is there a 1lb fishing lure in the receiver? Did they make the L paper thin? The barrel is so light it bends under its own weight? Is there a reason not to buy an L and save said money for (bling)upgrades?

I have now found the answer to this perplexing question.. I finally got my SDLB yesterday. I never did find the answer to this question until I picked it up. And I am not happy at all. Get this the receiver is PLASTIC!!!!!! I think its just a bit harder than the lower. I don’t think its the same materiel. The cocking tube and the breech housing are the only metal in this thing.. Hell the JG MP5 airsoft has more metal.. If I don’t like how it handles then the kid gets this instead of the 10/22.. Plastic!!!! grrrrrr this is why I don’t have a Gloc!!!!!
