You are right, there are a lot of 22 rim fire pistols that are not very reliable, most are ammo related. I recently fired a 22 pistol that was very impressive with a variety of ammo, was very accurate, reliable great grip and very good trigger. If you can rent one or shoot a friends, please find and try a Smith & Wesson M&P 22 pistol. I think you will agree. Give it a try.
