Highly Recommend the Smith & Wesson 22a

March 19, 2012
My first handgun is this model. I love the 22a! I picked it up this past Friday night, and went to the range yesterday. I put 650 rounds (200 cci hollow point and 450 blazer bullnose) though it without a single misfire or jam. The action is super smooth and getting used to the mag release becomes second nature after three or four magazines have been run through. I would highly recommend this piece for anyone looking for an all-around dependable gun! Tom

Smith & Wesson 22a Pistol Ammo

January 3, 2012
I have had and enjoyed my s&w 22a for six months. I shoot Federal in the #525 brick, I am on my 6th box with one fail to eject all the way a box and a half ago. I put a red dot sight on a week ago and it makes it even more fun. I am a s&w man model 65-357 642-38sp and one springfield 1911 45 mil-spec. I love my s&w 22a.

SW 22a Pistol Problem

June 17, 20110
I purchased a S&W 22A a couple of years ago and could not get the sights adjusted to get a group into the black at 50 yards, they were in the 8 ring at 6 o'clock on a bulls eye target. I sent it back to the factory and after about two months called and asked where my gun was. They informed me it would take a little while longer. When I asked to speak to one of the gunsmiths I was told they didn't have any gunsmiths working there, just repairmen. When they finally returned my .22 all they did was bend the bridge on the rear sight. I'm a retired Army shooter and a member of a national record setting service pistol (.45 at the time) four man team, so I can hold my own on the range. I gave the gun and everything that came with it away because it wasn't worth even using as a paper weight. As far as I'm concerned the only .22 automatic that S&W ever made that was worth a darn was the Model 41, the older ones. I like their revolvers, but not their autos anymore.
