Range time with my SR22

[typ240]

I really enjoyed shooting this pistol over the weekend. I purchased it new, did a quick wipe down and reapplied lube prior going to the range for the first time.

I was pleasantly surprised on how it performed, 700 drama free rounds with no cleaning in between through out the day. I did slightly adjust the elevation, it was very accurate as long as I did my part. I placed my steel targets at 7, 15, and 50 yards, I was able to surprisingly hit all three targets with slow trigger pulls.

I didn't like the safety as I occasionally engaged it while firing as my right thumb sits on top of it. I also didn't like the long DA trigger pull, the SA pull was not as bad but the reset is also long.

I was able to adjust for the feel and hang of it as the day progressed. This is a fun pistol for practicing the fundamentals at the range, Im glad I purchased it.

Welcome to the Forum!

Yes,, they are good guns for sure. Looks like you've figured yours out pretty well.

I'm curious as to which brand(s) of ammo were used…

Thanks, it took about 50 rounds to get the hang of the trigger. I also adjusted the elevation for a combat hold rather than a six o'clock hold, going back to the range tomorrow for more plinking fun!

Second day at the range!

really enjoying this pistol, took it out again today for another 700 rounds, one failure to eject.

SR22 makes a good 'chore gun'. Not obnoxious to carry, doesn't get in the way like a bigger profile might, goes BANG as needed. Not the most accurate 22 pistol I own but on the other hand, most of the stuff shot at was hit.

They are fine pistols.
