I agree with it being small. I don't have large hands but I find it easier to shoot it single handed than trying to hold it with both hands. I might sell mine. I'm bored with it.

I get more misfires/misfeeds with Federal 550 bulk packs than with CCI Minimags. BTW, MiniMags on sale

I've got a P22 and like it. Initially had some feed/extract issues but a thorough cleaning and lube fixed that up. I use Federal bulk pack .22LR (cheapest at Walmart) and it works fine.

I like it to practice a DA trigger pull--put in magazine, release slide, keep safety on and pull trigger to get the hammer down, turn safety to fire, fire round, turn safety back on and pull trigger to get hammer down, etc. It sounds cumbersome to describe but I like to do that sometimes to practice a DA pull like I get on my SW442, which is a DAO gun. With a 3.4" barrel I have to really concentrate to get good groups.

I like it for what it is and what I use it for. If I wanted a target .22 pistol, I'd look at one of the long barrel Rugers. Lately I've been salivating over the "Hunter" Mark III but new those are over $400. And if you really want to go high end there's the SW target model which, last time I checked, was somewhere north of $700 new.
