Nice shooting. Nice firearms. I recently acquired a Glock 19 Gen 5 with night sites and I like it a lot....

Adding those 3 additional dimples in the grip area did make a big difference.
Just kidding couldn’t resist.

My experience with .22 ammo in recent years has been that most of it sucks. I just don't like shooting .22 that much. I get similar failures in my Rugers until I put premium match ammo in.

My other 22's will feed anything, even the cheap kel tec p17. the Taurus TX22 will too. The sig is a pain to load the mags cause it has to be precise as to keep them all pointing up and if you lower it too much at a time it won't. but the biggest problem with it is light primer strikes. i am not a gunsmith but am pretty good at trouble shooting and i see why it does it. it's a really poor design. i posted some pics somewhere of it and why i think it does. i'll find them and repost here.

OK, Here's my theory, and i have pics, you guys tell me if i have a valid point. If you see where the paper clip is pointing that is the firing pin, it has two bumps on each end and the stick out very little as you can see.
Then you can see the firing pin is a good ways from where the cartridge is seated. Then you have the hammer in cocked position and fired position and then the bolt that's built into the slide.
So, that hammer has to knock the living crap out of the tiny protrusion of a firing pin to make it go all the way through to hit the primer hard enough to fire. My theory is if they made that firing pin stick out a little farther it would get enough inertia from the hammer to hit the primer harder. What do you guys think after looking at the pics? do i have a point or not? like i said i am no gunsmith but it just looks as if the firing pin was longer it would work better.

Question…….is this an early gun or later one?

Was just wondering if this issue was with basically a first run gun or a later gun. I know the first runs had issues with barrel leading, just wonder if the newer guns has this issue resolved, and this is a new one appearing

The barrel leading was a bout a 50, 50 chance you'd get a bad barrel. there are lots of people having the light primer strikes. some do and some don't. i dunno. The jamming problem is solved if you load the mags right. at least on mine it does. some it don't. but none of my other 22's are as picky loading the mags. i know of three have bought these and already got rid of them for not working.
Some have sent them back to factory multiple times with no success. These guns are a hit or miss buy, not worth the risk. a couple of youtube reviewers have sent them back for refunds after several times of them trying to fix it. they balked but said they would cause they knew they was getting a crappy review and then even one had to call them a few times to get his money back. someone like me won't stand a chance of a refund.

I used to feel this way but I recently picked up and MP5 22 and it fires absolutely anything except super low velocity quiet rounds and that is a gun issue, not an ammo issue. I run a lot of Federal Automatch and Aguila 40gr Super Extra and I’ve had zero FTEs or FTFs.
