Smith and Wesson 22S

[Guest Loki]

Any opinions on these guns (other than "get a Ruger").

Anybody own one? Are they reliable, easy to shoot/clean, ect..

What's a good price for a used one with light wear?

I am looking at getting one of these also so I am anxious to hear some responses.

Great guns.never had intrest untill I shot one. Shoot better than my Ruger,simple to clean. Have a nylon buffer you replace evert couple years and you get a bag of them with gun. Price well under Ruger. Mine has no jams with Remington good ammo.

Excellent guns. Easy to break down and clean, accurate, and reliable. I had to run about 300 Mini Mags through mine when it was new to break it in, but now it will run anything. Put a red dot on mine and it is loads of fun. Mags are fairly expensive, but other than that I couldn't be happier with it.

I had a 22A for awhile. It was more reliable and easier to care for than the Ruger I had... but wasn't quite as accurate (for me). Still, a great plinker... and it's right at home with a red-dot on top of it. The only thing to look out for during disassembly is the recoil assembly, and that little plastic buffer. It can end up across the room if you're not careful. Mine came with a few extra buffers for that reason (that, and I think you're supposed to change them every so many rounds).

I have a 22A. Great Gun but may need some break in. Mine was a FTE and FTF demon for the first 500 rounds. Lucky 500 rounds is about $11. It is accurate enough, easy to breakdown, easy to clean, and cheap.

Do not pay more than about $225 out the door for a 22A model. I have not priced the Stainless model. I often see the A models for $199 + Tax + TCIS and that is what I paid for mine.
