I took my new SR22 pistol out to the range today and wanted to give you guys a short report on it.
Price: I picked this up last night for $360 out the door. You can find them cheaper and you can find them for way more.
Whatâs in the box?: The gun comes in the standard Ruger white cardboard box. It comes with two grip âsleeves,â two magazines, and two magazine baseplates with pinky extensions. The magazine base plates are very easy to switch out. Magazine capacity is 10 rds. Standard three dot sights.
Ergonomics: The ergonomics are fantastic and it comes with two different grip âsleevesâ so you can adjust the grip size. These work better than the replaceable back straps on so many guns today as it replaces the entire grip area, not just the back of it. The gun is pretty small, probably the same general size as the Walther P22.
Performance: When I got it home last night I cleaned up all the factory grease and applied a little bit of oil. Today I took it out put exactly 500 rounds through it.
First 100 rounds there were 0 failures of any kind. From 101 to 500 there were a total of four failures: three failures to feed, and one failure to eject. I think that is pretty darn good! I was shooting Federal âValue Packâ 22lr that I got at Walmart for $19 (550 rounds).
The gun shoots really well, right out of the box I was able to reliably hit steel targets at approx. 10 yards. Was also able to hit a small steel target at 50yds+ 3 out of 10 tries.
Overall Impression: This gun is really great! If I can get a less than 1% failure rate with cheap 22 ammo I am happy. If you can find one at a good price you should definitely consider picking it up.
Here is a horrible picture of the gun and the ammo I was using:
