One additional recommendation. Start with CCI Mini-mags, either solids or hollow points or CCI Standard Velocity 40gr LRN (#0032). They are a known for their consistency of high quality and for just plain working in the 22 Compact. If you give the gun a good start and establish a baseline for (hopefully) reliable function with the Mini-mags, then start trying other ammo to see what works (maybe cheaper) and what doesn't. Good luck.
