Haven't heard of probs with these. Mine functions fine and 2 friends have not had problems. Have you asked a gunsmith to look at it?

Have a look at rimfirecentral.com there is a P22 bible over there that has everything that you need to know. There is a procedure to peen the extractor for more reliable feeding. I haven't had a problem with mine yet ~2k rds and when I do, i will probably peen the extractor.

Thanks reading up on it now

I had a CCI Mini Mags round stick in the first 100 or so. After I pryed it out of the barrel I found the cartridge to be deformed. I blew it off as a bad round of ammo. No problems since 550+ rounds.

You guys may want to check the P22 barrel for tightness. I found both mine and my brothers came a bit loose and needed re-tightening using the supplied wrench.

it went back to S&W for repair as it would not extract at all ,came back working perfect so far got 700ish rounds and no problems

I've used the P22 Bible to peen the extractor, lengthen the extractor spring, and shave the hammer slightly. It has dramatically improved the reliability (at least until ~750-1000 rounds without cleaning haha), and it went from extracting in all directions (including both in front of the gun and into my eyes) to a steady slightly rearward direction with a healthy arc and speed. Lately, I have begun to have a few more problems, but that was towards the end of a ~750 round cleaning cycle, so who knows. If I am still having problems, I'll send it back to S&W. But I jumped in here to add a big +1 to the advice of using the P22 Bible. If you have any questions, let me know...

Watch out for the waxed or coated .22LR instead of a copper plated bullet. The coatings will transfer to the barel and cause ejection jams. I always only purchase the copper plated bullet .22LR ammo.

Bonjour,
I must be lucky! My P22 is run on nothing but cheap CCI Blaser.
NEVER had a problem. I clean and lube after every visit to the range. I take my P22 EVERY week!!!

Bon weekend
