Functions fine in mine. Have not had any issues with CCI SV, fire and cycle everytime. In fact I get some of my best groups with this ammo

IMO, they are horrible & will cause your gun to blow up. Since I am such a nice guy, I'll be glad to take that junk off your hands.
Seriously, they are my favorite.

Anything over 1,000 fps will function a semi-auto just fine.

You probably have more experience than me, but the Winchester 555 Value Pack, 36 grain, 1280 fps does not work well at all in my M&P 22. It is the only ammo I've used that consistently gives me stove pipes, fail to fire, & fail to eject.

Not only do they function well, as the Major stated, but since they are sub-sonic they are some of the most accurate 22lr.... especially for the price. Sub-sonic ammo does not get buffeted, as high velocity ammo does, as it breaks the sound barrier. Their Green Label 22lr is basically the same as this but supposedly is the cream of the production run.
And then of course, if you ever get a suppressor, this is what you want to shoot.

It's actually the only 22LR my LGS sells so that should tell you something as well. Stock up.

There are exceptions to every rule ... How much of this ammo did you try?

I'm sure someone's going to tell me why this a terrible idea, but I've "made" my own SGB's from CCI standard velocity rounds. Surprisingly they performed VERY WELL and cleanly dispatched squirrels without excessive damage.
Is it worth the time to flatten down the bullet tip??? I doubt it, but it CAN be done if one was so inclined or unable to obtain actual SGB's. Of course mine were subsonic - which in my opinion was a huge plus.

its good stuff, the gun runs great on them, shot a few thousand through mine. Now i'm shooting the Blazers which are the same price, but better fps (so more knock down power for steel plates)

You guys are lucky. I have the rebate for the cci .22 target but that's the only ammo I can't get around here. Winchester and remington everywhere but I haven't seen a box of cci in six months.
I want a free target!

Even Walmart does not sell at that price. You got it for 4.6c per round. Amazing. In fact I have searched most online retailers, and no one sells at that price. Even in 2009, 2010, 2011 I don't see that price.
Are you teasing us!!!!

I have a LGS whom i do plenty of business with. So over the years, they help me out a little from time to time. Considering i buy everything from them and only them. I also deliver each gun safe they sell. I set the safes up and I bolt them down if the customer wants it. All of course a very reasonable price for the customer. So it works out for all of us in the end.
Lately I havent even been buying .22LR. I've been racking up on .300 AAC, lol. These just happened to be sitting in the store earlier today when i went back for more .300 AAC so I grabbed a brick of them while I was there.

It's not that bad for the customers either. They sell the blue box 525rd federal champion for just under $28. Granted that is still about $10 more than the usual prices before all the BS. However that price also has them limited to 2 boxes per customer. This kinda helps keep ammo on the shelves for the next guy. Most people arent nice like me, and just get 1 brick. They'd rather buy it all up and sell it for triple the price. So I dont see a problem with the LGS limiting them to 2 bricks at a time.
I could have bought a few more bricks at the price i paid. But as u can see, i just took a little nibble and left the rest alone.

Thats a good price for a 525rd brick. My LGS are selling CCI minimags 100 rounds for $22 before tax. Three times more than Walmart's price. All LGS in my area sell in a similar price range.
