I'm looking at getting an inexpensive .22 cal pistol for plinking and have started looking at the S&W 22A. Any of you have information you can share about this pistol or another inexpensive .22 semi auto?
Thanks

I have one and I really like it. I swear it is as accurate as my model 41. It has been completly reliable. I think it is a great value.

For the price you cannot beat it. S&W also makes the 22S out of steel for $10-20 more and some like the heavier feel of the gun.

A good value, had mine a year and it only gets better, very easy to field strip. Mine likes Mini-Mags.

Mine is very accurate, and lots of fun with a red dot scope mounted on top. I opted for the wooden grips. They fit my large hands nicely but I think it would cause a problem for anyone with a real small grip size. Another problem the grips make is that it takes an extra push to seat the magazine all the way, which to me is no big deal since this pistol is 100% target/plinking pistol. When I first got mine, I had several jams, misfires, and stovepipes, but after the first 1,000 rounds it has been PERFECT. I would recommend this pistol to anyone that wants to have lots of fun and doesn't want to spend a lot of money doing it.

Got one for Christmas; love it. Easy to shoot and have found that it will shoot anything. No problems with any of the ammo I have fed it.

I have the same gun....bought it about 6-9 months after they came out and I read a review where they actually shot the author's two M41s. I can't recall it failing to feed or eject more than once or twice in all those years and it's quite accurate. I haven't done a side-by-side with my M41s but it's up to the task of casual bullseye shooting and plinking, no doubt. R,

I HAVE REAL TREE NRA 22A DO YOU YOU GUYS THINK I SHOULD SHOOT IT AND ENJOY OR HOLD AND NOT SHOOT? I LEFT BOX IN GARAGE AT MY SUMMER HOME AND A MOUSE CHEWED A HOLE IN ONE END TO MAKE A NEST IN IT.

I don't think any 22A is every going to be collectible or appreciate in value significantly...shoot it and enjoy it. R,

Shoot with it and enjoy it. You might also want to find a better storage place for it
