Posted: 6/10/2012 7:19:40 PM [Last Edit: 6/10/2012 7:20:11 PM by Chris_1522] THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT My fiancée and I have a Ruger SR-22 pistol and there are times when it won't strip a round off the mag on cycling and other times that it won't extract. Are there any known issues with these guns that would cause this? The problems are not magazine or ammo specific. We have four mags and many types of ammo.

The slide fits on the frame crooked, and looks like its rubbing in the top of the dust cover area of the frame. I don't feel any binding or sluggishness, however, I can see how that could slow the slide down.

I've owned a Ruger SR-22 for several months now, with approx. 200 rounds down range. So far, only experienced a single failure to strip a round. Perhaps its the type of ammo you are using? (I'm using CCI "Tactical" .22LR)

Posted: 6/20/2012 9:13:54 PM I've fed mine a lot of different ammo and found it doesn't like Federal bulk pack or any low velocity/target loads. I guess they don't have enough "umph" to cycle the slide completely. Mine has never stove-piped or failed to extract. it just won't feed the next one in every time if the ammo is whimpy. Stick with a high velocity round, keep it lubed, and it will shoot flawlessly until you are sick of it. If you really want to see it run good, shoot some Remington 22 Thunderbolts through it... me likey! Those rounds cycle the slide with authority! enjoy!

All stoppages were either -failure to strip round from magazine. -failure to chamber due to bullet nose hitting top of chamber opening.

Posted: 7/12/2012 6:48:52 PM Yup, I'm having thing same issues as you described, failure to feed problems and the some what often, failure to eject. However, I have NO problems with CCI Mini-mags they run 100%. Blazers, Federal, American Eagle, and Winchester all give me a bunch of the before mentioned problems. Next time I get a chance to go out I want to tryout filling the mags up to 6 or 8 rounds instead of the full 10. I forgot to do this both the first and second times I used it
