So I've been back and forth, back and forth, couldn't decide which .22 to buy for a new plinker. Finally choose the S&W 22a yesterday when I saw the one I wanted at a local shop. Went back this morning and picked it up. Here she is:
Went directly home, attached a red dot I had sitting around, picked up a few things, ammo, range bag, etc. and headed down to the shooting club to try and break it in. (This pistol is for the bowling pin shoots there this summer!) Beautiful day even though a little chilly.
I loaded up the mag and went to work. 4 rounds down range and the mag pops out. I put it back in, fire again, comes back out!! I fired the next 5 rounds with it coming out after one or two shots. Very discouraged I loaded it back up, ran fine the next 15-16 mags, or about 150-160 rounds total. After that first time through no more problems. No jams, no FTF, no FTE, ALL GOOD!!!!!!!! I put probably 120 rounds of CCI mini mags (HP) through first and another 40 or so of some older Federal bulk (non HP). Both worked well with no hiccups.
I will say that this gun is going to be plenty accurate for my plinking purposes. With the red dot and rested my hands on bench I was able to put 10 shots inside 1.5" at 20 yds. I'm sure this could be improved. I don't know how long this red dot will last on the gun, i'm not positive i like it. I've got my eyes on a Sightmark Reflex holo, but i'll see how this works for now.
Any other scope/red dot suggestions??

Did you shoot yours with the iron sights before you put the Red Dot on it.
