I got one a couple years back because I always loved the way the grip feels in my hand. It points very naturally for me, and is a joy to plink with. It's like I don't even have to use the sights.
These have a reputation for needing full powered ammo to function, and that's true for mine. Most cheap bulk pack ammo doesn't have enough power to reliably cycle the action. It will give failures to eject, or doesn't push the slide back far enough to strip a new round from the mag. So far, Rem Thunderbolts (oddly enough) are about the only bulk ammo I've found that works well. High velocity Winchesters & CCI work great though. It also seems to like running wet, with plenty of lube.
I've never really tried to bench mine for target accuracy yet. It shoots better than I do offhand; pretty much like any other .22 pistol in my hands.
They are a full sized gun, but so light they feel like a toy. I'd consider them a well made plinker.
Some features were common for their era, but are considered less desirable now. I.E., they have a heel magazine catch, mag disconnect safety, no bolt hold-open, and "backwards" thumb safety (up to fire, down for safe). These quirks don't bother me, but may be a deal breaker for some.
I read all kinds of bad stuff about field stripping them too, but I think it's way overblown. Just unscrew the barrel nut, and all the "guts" come out the back. Never yet had any issue putting it back together.
Most of the small parts interchange with the new Olympic Arms remakes. I bought a new hammer spring, firing pin, & its retaining clip thingie for mine. Get 'em while you can. However, the new magazines do not work in the old guns- the feed lips are shaped differently. I found an original extra mag for mine on Numrich. The mag follower has a hole so you can insert a .22 round or casing, to push the follower down for easy loading.
