I felt the need to add to my rimfire menagerie and bought an SR22. Today was the first chance I had to fire it.
Features:
Light, very similar (and not) to the Walther P22.
Adjustable (Windage + elevation) rear sights.
Excellent 3-dot sights.
Two, easily changed grips giving it a bit better for sizing.
Decocker safety.
Lightweight.
DA first round then SA, or cockable and SA first round.
Flat and finger grip mag plates.
Firing
All firing at 25 yards.
The SR22 and i are not going to win any Bullseye matches at 25 yards. I grouped low right but was pretty much in an 8" circle.
Trigger isn't bad in DA or SA.
Light weight gives perceived recoil.
Fired Fed Value Pack, Fed 510, Win Expert, Rem Golden Bullets, Fed automatch and Wolf MT without problems. One FTF (Fed Val Pack) and one jam (Win).
Overall, I expect accuracy to improve with practice.
At first glance, the SR22 looks like a P22. I think it's a much better pistol than the P22 and easier to shoot accurately. You also don't get brass back in your face.
Only down was I was getting something blowing back and stinginb my face. Glasses are a must wear.

I aquired one in a trade and added the CT CMR 201 laser. It seems to like all types and brands of ammo. At least those I've tried, so far. I've had a couple of FTF's (didn't pick up a cartridge) in ~1000 rounds and no FTE's. Laser is a perfect match.
