Yup. Nature of the beast. My 34 came with a brush and a cleaning rod - and a demand that they be used!
Try different ammo. WW 100 pack ammo in the red plastic box works fine in mine. Everything else seems to require brushing as much as every other cylinder full.
To me, brushing has become part of the firing sequence.
I don't know if the tight cylinders contribute to accuracy, but that little J frame 22 can hold its own with just about any other 22 handgun I've ever shot.
