[QUOTE="RETOKSQUID, post: 3238221, member: 8681"] Got to spend some quality time with my bestie aka my wife, and our newest addition to the 22 collection. A S&W 22 Compact. Few things I really like about it are as follows: [LIST] [*]Same size, shape, and feel as the 380 EZ but in 22lr. [*]Very accurate with the right ammo [*]Easy to point shoot with [*]Light weight [*]Easy to disassemble and clean [/LIST] What I would change: [LIST] [*]Trigger is stiff and needs work [*]Sights 1. While the 3 dot sights are adjustable easy to pick up I foresee fiber optic replacements in the near future. [*]Sights 2. The rear site is windage and elevation adjustable which is good. But after about 50 rounds the windage screw became loose, and would work itself out of zero often. Easy fix with a little bit of locktite, but is a bit annoying. [/LIST] While it is a 22lr it is LOUD! In fact I kind of think that it is actually louder than the 380EZ, not really a big deal, just found it a bit surprising. So how's it shoot? Tried 4 different types of ammo today CCI Stingers, CCI Mini Mags, Winchester super x solids, and Winchester super x hollow points. Best group of 20 rounds slow fire at ten yards was with the CCI Stingers. [ATTACH=full]137325[/ATTACH] Forgot to take a picture of the mini mags :brick: But the results were similar. The Winchester Super X solids were ok, not great, but not horrible either. [ATTACH=full]137327[/ATTACH] But it does not like the Winchester super x hollow points at all:hellno: They were just horrible, smokey for some reason, and just all over the place. [ATTACH=full]137328[/ATTACH] So far so good. Had a good time with the wife, got to get out of the house and was able to go shooting:thumbup3: This was the first range session with this one and can't wait for the next one. Where I plan on trying a few of the bulk packs like Blaser, Federal, and Remington. Can see this one getting a suppressor eventually. [/QUOTE]
