Picked up the SR22 today and shot almost 100 rounds through it. No issues with proper ammo, went bang every time. I did try some CCI Quiet and .22 Shorts in the gun, they'd throw the slide back a bit, eject the round, but not far enough back that it would pick up another one.
Totally fine, those aren't meant to work in semi autos.
First shots were going high and right at 10 yards... the sights were ridiculously off out of box. Made the adjustments and after that accuracy was unbelievable with Velocitors. Stingers went all over the place. Aguila SSS grouped better than any other .22 I've shot them in.
The SR22 is more accurate than it has a right to be.
What I'd like to see Ruger do is come out with a model that has a threaded barrel for the 4.5 inch barrel and longer slide.
I think one of the improvements Ruger could make is a lot more texture on the grips. I know it's only a .22, but it's tragic the lack of texture on the SR22.
I can't wait to put a can on this gun. Since I left the range, I do not think I made a bad choice choosing the SR22 over the LCRx.
