My first handgun was a P22, the "target" version with a longer barrel. I liked the gun, but even with such minimal recoil, it would vibrate itself apart over the course of a few dozen rounds. It was also rather picky about ammo, although to be fair, the worst offender was Golden Bullet.

I replaced it with a Ruger SR22, and while the Ruger doesn't play nice with a couple brands of ammo, it has proven to be the better gun in my experience.
