Added the SR22 to the arsenal last Friday and had a chance to shoot it over the weekend. Groups were all over the place with many failure to feeds, but I figured I needed to clean it and start over.
I took the gun apart to clean (very easy by the way) the first time and did not notice any barrel issues. The trigger felt grittier so I took it apart again and cleaned the internal parts a little better.
As I was putting it back together a long black screw fell out. The screw looked bigger than anything that could fit in the small gun so I set it aside. Once more I took it apart and this time the barrel was loose and able to move. Figuring this was not right I read the section on replacing the barrel. Sure enough that the was screw that fell out.
Clearly the screw had not been fully tightened upon assembly.
Range day 2 brought much better results. There was one ftf issue with a Winchester white box round in the first magazine and then it went on to run about 250 rounds of everything I threw at it. I checked the screw when I got home and it had not moved.
Can't wait to shoot it some more. It feels great in the hand and is a ton of fun to shoot.
