I have 2 SR22's, the long and short barrel, they demand CCI mini mags or equivalent to be reliable and I feel they function best on the 40 grain round nose - I really like them but they are finicky in my opinion. 200+ rounds and at some point they will go jamo-matic until you at least clean key places, they are very easy to clean.

My longer barrel one I feel is more reliable but it's also newer, and was a special order not subject to handling prior to me buying it so that could be a factor, as could the longer barrel.

I run the two kits to get 17 rounds in the mags, works great.

The trigger reset sucks and there's no fix Im aware of, incredibly long. But other handguns I have are Sig SRT so maybe Im just picky because of that...

Will never sell my SR22s but may pickup the S&W M&P 22LR some day. Ive shot them, wish it was a DA/SA exposed hammer but regardless the trigger is bettter reset wise and they seem to run on any ammo (not that I care what I feed but shows reliability)..

Also I have an interest in the new Keltec 22wmr - just looks cool, holds 30!
