The Ruger SR22P is kind of fun, but it may frustrate you if you are expecting to shoot 1" groups at 25 yds.
Mine shoots 2" at 25 yards with Federal bulk, doesn't frustrate me. It really isn't a target gun, though, your point I guess. However, it's light and somewhat hard to hit with off hand. That does kinda frustrate me. I do much better with my Mk 2 or my little Rossi revolver, a bit easier to control with the extra weight and, well, they're more accurate, too, which don't hurt. I do much better with the revolver and Federal bulk which shoots the same 2" off the bench. It's the added weight of the gun, I've concluded. THAT gun shoots tiny little 1" groups with the Federal automatch. For some reason, the Rossi really likes automatch. And, of course, being a revolver, it's reliable. I bought 1000 rounds of .22 short when I couldn't get anything else and have been plinking with the Rossi and my old bolt action Remington rifle with shorts. One does what one has to do in these times of scarcity.
I finally found a round the SR22 chokes on, bulk pack Winchester, 333 round pack, I picked up at Midway USA via net last week. It is light, doesn't push the slide back far enough to cock the hammer or eject the spent case. I have the idea that all this Agilla subsonic I've been seeing available might not work to well in the gun, either. The bulk Winchester functions fine in my Mk 2, though, maybe because there's no hammer spring to work against? Don't know, but it functions fine. Might also be the added weight of the gun helps, but I don't limp wrist the SR22 and it works 100 percent with most HV loads including Winchesters that come in the plastic 100 round bulk packs that I got at Academy several months ago. I like the little SR22, but it challenges my patience when plinking. Makes a great fishing kit gun, though, very light and pocketable on fishing trips. Haven't taken any nutria with it, yet, but we've had a lot going on and I haven't taken the boat out since last year. That is my main purpose for the little gun, but plinking is also an activity. Just wish I could shoot the thing better. I'm working on it, but need a bulk pack of Federal as the little gun shoots that stuff the best. I hope the OP's assessment of the ammo situation is right. I have been seeing more ammo online, but it goes fast and much of it is limit of one per customer.
