First auto 22 I have ever shot that would do this without considerable work to lighten the bolt and springs. S&W might want to look at the factory spring and make it a tad heavier, although i really like it.
You may have the answer, the first detonation really did some damage, now she just has a glass jaw with any ammo that is over specks. Too bad, it is a beautiful pistol, shoots very accurately and is a delight, so far ahead of the competition it is pathetic.

At least we can enjoy a market place that provides us a choice when we purchases 22 ammo. I will try some of the quite stuff thanks for sharing your observation & thoughts.
