New Volquartsen Habu 22 LR Pistol
Following up on the Volquartsen Black Mamba, which was introduced in 2019, Volquartsen Firearms has released its new pistol, the Habu 22 LR. The Habu, its name derived from a Japanese pit viper, is built to strike with accuracy and precision.
A New Snake from Volquartsen
The Habu 22 combines the features of the Volquartsen Scorpion 22 LR pistol with the push-button takedown functionality of the Ruger MK IV standard aluminum frame complete with Volquartsen’s signature Volthane Grip.
The Habu 22 features the Volquartsen LLV Competition Upper designed with a stainless steel barrel, laser hardened stainless steel breech and housed in an aluminum shroud. This design provides match-grade accuracy in a lightweight package. Available in a 4.5″ or 6″ barrel length. The integral Picatinny rail on top and bottom is standard.
The Habu build utilizes a Ruger MK IV standard aluminum frame that has been retrofitted with the Volquartsen Accurizing Kit providing a crisp, clean 2.25 lb. trigger pull. The frame is outfitted with Volquartsen’s Volthane grip, designed to give the shooter more control. This unique grip design features an aggressive no-slip diamond checkering. Made from a proprietary material, the Volthane Grip will withstand the elements as well as hold up to moisture, gun oils, and cleaners.
If black isn’t your color the Volquartsen Habu is also available in Arctic Camo. The Arctic Camo version is available in the 4.5″ and 6″ barrel configurations. It features the same specs as the black versions.
