Olympic Wolverine
Any one own / shot the Olympic Wolverine semi auto 22 handgun. I would really like a Whitney Wolverine, but I won't pay the price and their hard to find anyhow. Just looking for a plinker / toy.

Never shot one, but it's a cool looking little pistol. MSRP is only $294 which does not seem to bad IMO compared to some. I really like my Buckmark for plinking but I paid more than that for it.
Good luck man...

I'm hoping to find a used one, as I'm thinking I'd like to make it look more like a raygun / space gun. I saw on facebook I think that they may have some in "digital camo" too, the picture posted looked cool, but it may have been a photochop!
I've searched and can't even find a review on them, so I don't know much about them yet.

I don't own one, but the reviews i have read say there is a drop-off in QC on the Olympic Arms ones versus the original. Since internet reviews are not always representative of actual empirical data, at their price point, i would still consider giving it a try.

Interesting. It looks just like the Zebra "pellet" guns we tried to shoot each other's eyes out with as kids.

I did a quick search on GB but the few they had were new & seem to have wanted more than MSRP.
Good luck man on finding what you want. I will say it's a cool looking little .22 IMO.

As with anything, I've read it both ways. But most of the reviews where for new guns, not quite broke in yet, so that could be part of the problem.

So not expecting this
I was kinda expecting to see Wolverine jumping hurdles with his claws out or something
This is him mid swan dive before he tucks and rolls and kersplooshes with minimal splash in the pool

No, it looks like this wolverine; they come in 4 different colors: black, coyote tan, pink and digital camo.
