S&W 22A

[stumpie]

Has anyone here kept track of how many round you have fired thru your 22a ,noted any problems , how old is your 22a & did you buy it new or used .Thanks

Mine is only about 1 year old. I've fired about 750 rounds through it. Lots of CCI and cheap stuff too. Never any problems. The plastic buffer squashed a little flatter after the first 100 rounds, but has not changed since then. I've been very pleased with mine, espceially for what I paid new ($199). My only complaint are the sights. I wish they had white outlines or something to make them more visible.

I bought mine new in March, and have shot about 1100 rounds. No problems, except with a surprising number (10%) of FTF using Win ammo. So I stick with Federal.
My experience with the buffer is the same as threepdr. S&W provided extra's in the box, but so far, I have not had to replace it.
I also agree with the comment on the sights-very hard to see. I immediately put an inexpensive Red Dot scope on mine, solved the problem.
Overall, very pleased with the 22A.

10+ years old +-2500 rds. It broke the extractor a year ago, S&W sent a prepaid mailer and it was back in 3 weeks, no charge. It shoots as well as ever.

Bought my son one for Christmas, have to wait till then to use it. Trying to decide the best ammo though, heard federal and cci are good. Any suggestions?

Had mine for a couple of months now,apx 2K rounds of CCI through it.still using the original nylon buffer.I have installed a red dot sight.Fun to shoot and no problems so far.You might want to paint the front blade white.It helps when using the open sights.

A little orange paint on the front sight and a little white outlining the rear make the sights jump out at you.

Bought mine new about 6 months ago and put about 2K rounds through it. Had some FTF with Winchester but no problem with Federal, all Wally World stuff. Equipped with a Bushnell Red, Green dot sight. VERY accurate have 7" barrel.

I bought mine about 1 year ago new and I have shot around 700 to 800 rounds. I have had maybe 3 shells fail to eject. It has been a great gun and it is lots of fun to shoot.

I've had mine a few weeks and have put about 300 rounds thru it. Overall it's been great, just a few FTE's now and then, which I just attribute to cheap ammo. This is my 3rd 22A, the other two managed to get traded away. I may just keep this one

I've started looking at this gun too.

I mean come on....

This is just dead sexy.
