Make sure you check your barrel, That is what happened with mine. Mine has been fine again after loctiting the barrel. JimI have the SR 22, normally it's been pretty good, but I had a bad outing with it last week. Had all kind of problems with failure to load out of both magazines. I did just open up a new box of Federal Bulk pack, so maybe I have a bad batch of under powered 22lr.
Before it would just do it occasionally. I will say that it is a lot of fun to shoot and has proven to be quite accurate. I don't expect a 22lr to be flawless since it isn't for self defense.
I fondled a variety tonight and decided on a black Walther P22.
tonight we tried the bulk Federal 22lr
I have a S&W MP22 and really like it. Recommend checking one out and seeing how it feels in your hand.
Had a GSG-1911 22. Shot everything I fed it with ease, even though it's rated as a High-Velocity shooter. Basically, it was like an engine requiring "Supreme Unleaded" running well on "Unleaded". :shrug:
I loved the shootability of it, but I just wanted something with a better quality slide. Not getting a new 22LR handgun any time soon but I personally want one with a quality aluminum slide (I think I've read somewhere that the Ruger SR22 has T6/Aircraft grade aluminum slide??? If so, put the Ruger at the top on my list!)
