I am struggling to see a major downside to this - unless a person only has one .22 auto - and they shoot that one auto frequently. I've got the blued version and like it quite a bit - well-made and 100% reliable. But, I like the trigger on my M&P Compact better. I just pulled it out and tried to make it fire as described on Ruger's webpage. Granted, I didn't try to damage it - but mine won't fire with the safety half-way on and off, nor fire when it's put into Fire after trying. I'll still send it off - no cost to me and a free magazine. Time to fire the 622 or Buckmark this weekend ...
