Just bought my own 2010 P22 Saturday and fell in love with it. The grip is perfect for my hand, and it points very naturally. The first shot I took was a CCI Velocitor which claimed a chipmunk from 15 feet.
Last night I pulled the slide off and cleaned off the factory lube, and used my own RemOil. Today I got to the range with my father and girlfriend and put 300 rounds of Remington Golden Bullet through the pistol with zero malfunctions. I tried a magazine of Yellow Jackets (truncated cone bullet) and one bullet snagged on the feed ramp, and so I will never use that ammo again.
The targets we were shooting at were probably at 25-30 yards, and the accuracy was impressive. When we were doing our parts we were hitting tin cans with good regularity.
From my studying of P22 reviews and info in forums, I was expecting a pistol that was not very reliable (some what more if the mods were done), and wasn't terribly accurate. Thankfully I heard the good things about it and took my chance and bought the pistol. My girlfriend loves it, and I absolutely love it, and, contrary to some opinions of the older P22's, I would trust my life to it if need be.
