The main impediment for the P-22 to achieve target gun levels of precision is undoubtedly the trigger. 22lr handgun should be a tack driver like their old Mark III or IV, this simply isn’t set up like that. While most shooters I know expect that every. The P-22 achieves its goal of providing modern semi-auto stylings and ergonomics in a rimfire package. The magazine release is out of the way enough to avoid unintentionally dropping the mag but is easy enough to hit without breaking your grip on the gun.

The P-22 is a comfortable “Goldilocks” gun, that seems to fit the vast majority of hands. If I keep my P-22 immaculately clean and running the best of rounds, I’m still all but guaranteed to perform stoppage drills a couple times per range trip. Using copper jacketed rounds helps to keep the feed ramp cleaner than exposed lead projectiles. While CCI Mini-mags tend to run without issue most often, switching to Federal’s bulk pack or American Eagle’s 40gr offering bump up the odds of experiencing a stoppage significantly enough.
