Hi Bobo
I have a 22a and shoot it a lot. As noted above, the finish sucks, the recoil buffer looks like its made out of a plastic milk jug, and I don't know how long it will hold up. I plan on making S&W stand behind the lifetime warranty. When it stops shooting, back it goes. I have a red dot on the one I have and it will make ragged holes at 50'. It does as well as the mod 41s I shoot against at the range. The trigger is pretty good, and it is just as dependable as my Volquartsen MKII, and my Buckmark. If your looking for something that will stay pretty, and may be someday will be a classic, you might want to look at something else.
