Will just comment on what I own.

Browning Buckmark. Mine is old. Bought it in the 90s and didn't have a threaded barrel. Several years ago I replaced the barrel with a Tactical Solutions barrel. Saved a ton of weight and still stupid accurate. Very reliable for a .22.

S&W M&P compact .22. This little gun is pretty great. Accurate for its size and very reliable. Not too bad on price either.

Sig P322. I within the last 2 weeks sent this one back to Sig to get it worked on and have not taken out to shoot it since I got it back. The slide lock-back lever would not hold the slide to the rear. They fixed that. The magazine has to be loaded a particular way otherwise you can have rounds that won't feed. That gets pretty frustrating. But, the gun is very accurate. Hope it performs better.

Several revolvers and my favorite is a Ruger Single Six. None will suppress though.

Pretty similar experience with my p322. The safety lever would go to a “half cock” position, and the gun would still fire. Had to push the safety hard up to make the trigger stop moving. Very misleading to someone not familiar with the gun because it had an audible and tactile click into the “half cock”, much like it does when actually engaging the safety.

Sent it back to Sig, they fixed it, and sent it back. Replaced the safety lever IIRC. I wish I knew exactly what they found. Was it bent, or out of tolerance, or a burr, or something else?

Have a Holosun 407k on mine and it’s accurate. Fun to shoot when the mags want to act right. I haven’t mastered loading them where they feed right yet. Same with the 20 and 25 round mags.

This, S&W M&P .22 compact. Have 2, neither one has EVER misfired with any brand of ammo. I am a Sig fan and bought the 322 when they came out.Mine would not shoot Aguila blue box ammo. Sent it back to Sig for repair and they said there was nothing wrong with it. Traded it off for the second M&P .22 which shoots the same ammo flawlessly.
