Calfee XP's
Jim, there were several XP-100's converted to 22rf by Bill Calfee. He has built approximately 90-100 of them with 13 of them being built as personal pistols for himself that he eventually would sell and then build himself another. He would always offer his pistol up at a match to any shooter that wanted to try one, that would lead to being bitten by the pistolitis bug which meant that you just had to have one.
They are unbeliveably accurate. They will shoot right with the long guns if you are capable of holding them the proper way every shot and read the winds accurately. Them being a pistol there is more opportunity for operator error either in the holding, trigger control, or followthrough needed to shoot them to their potential. They are a pure joy to shoot and compete with, you feel like you are much more of the operation than shooting the rifles on the solid rests.
As for value, I've seen them sell from $3,000.00 to $6,0000.00 depending upon the pistol it's self, time of the market interest, and how it may have been proven in competition. Their value will probably increase with time due to their accuracy and the enjoyment of shooting or competing with them. They will always be one of Bill's masterpieces.
Below are a couple of pictures you may enjoy.
