For the money spent, I think you will enjoy shooting it. I've had a 22S since 1994 and still use it to this day, after all these years it still goes bang when I pull the trigger.

22A is a good gun though requires some cleaning every once in a while.
has a buffer that needs replacing every few thousand rounds.
tack driver fun to shoot I loved shooting golf balls with it.

It seems there are a lot of folks that ask this question, so I can only guess they are fairly popular. From my standpoint, it was a great buy. Never had any problems with it, it is fun to shoot, and very dependable. Great value when compared to the price.

From a design standpoint, a lot of High Standard DNA, I'd judge - which is by no means a bad thing.

I love mine. I have the one with the bull barrel. Crazy accurate. Pop golf balls all day long from 25yds. Cheap red dot.

I just got the Gander flyer and they have it for $229.99 I had one a few years ago and traded it for a sks. Kicked my backside for 2 years before I went and bought another one. For the money it is a good plinker. I also use it for self defense against tree rats. Have a cheap BSA reddot on it as my 60 year old eyes have a hard time with the front sight.

Just bought one 4 weeks ago. 200 rounds thru and problems with FTF & FTL. Trying to diagnose, but may end up sending to S&W. Not really concerned because S&W really took care of me with my Sigma .40 cal when the trigger broke.
I hope you get one that eats it all - all the time.
Best of luck.
