Default High Velocity 22 Long ammo

My gunsmith showed me a little Italian pistol that is apparently in 22 long. A customer has been having trouble getting it to cycle with the ammo he can find. The gun appears to be in good condition and has a sales slip from a local gunshop that has been defunct for decades ( $ 49. ). The gunsmith is wondering if a higher velocity ammo might work. He can't find any so I told him I would ask on this site and see if anyone knows if high velocity 22 ammo exists.

The largest 3 producers of .22 Long ammunition ceased production,although it continues to be made by CCI, Aguila, and others.

I believe he asked about .22 "LONG", not LR. I do not believe any US mfg's make .22 Longs any longer. There may be some European mfg's still making it.

CCi is the only American maker of .22 long.
They make two loadings, a CB and a high velocity.

Thanks. I think the only ammo the customer had was some 22 longs that originally came with the gun.
