The quality difference isn't even close. CMMG is X1000 better than Chiappa.

Just make sure you have a strong hammer spring! This goes for pretty much any lower you're using for a dedicated .22 upper.
Ditto. I dumped the Chiappa after one trip to the range. Bought a CMMG and have shot the crap out of it. Not a single problem, my first range trip I ran 1425 rounds through it. One suggestion... get the loading tool for the Black Dog magazines. Ouch....
