It's odd how the reported satisfaction with this model ranges from one extreme to the other - they either work nearly flawlessly or are very problematic. I wonder how much of that has to do with ammo being used and the fact that the magazine has to be pushed in hard or feeding concerns surface.

I have only used CCI MiniMags or two Federal loads, the GameShok hollow points and Fresh Fire cans of 325 rounds. All of those shells use copper-plated bullets and I get none of the 22LR lead fouling so often mentioned - in fact, the gun as a whole stays pretty clean and I shoot several hundred rounds between cleanings.

The only times mine has failed to do anything have been when I didn't fully seat the magazine until I became accustomed to doing that. Mine is a Talo edition and with the grip frame, magazine and the oversize grips all being flush with each other requires that I make an effort to push on the S&W logo on the magazine base until I hear or feel the magazine "click" into place.

I think they are super little guns and enjoy shooting mine a lot.
