I have a 322. If you take care loading the mags and take the time to figure out what runs well in your gun, it will be fine. In my example, Federal Auto Match runs great and shoots very accurately - minus the flier or two in each mag. Winchester’s small game load - a Copper HP at 1260 fps runs well too. CCI Mini Mags also run well.

I also run a suppressor on mine for fun and have had zero issues with running it suppressed.

Well, after a lot of reading reviews, You Tube videos, online reviews and owners experiences and opinions. I jumped the Sig ship in my search for a .22LR semi-auto. I found a smokin' deal on a new in the box Ruger 22/45 at a local store that I could not pass up. Having had recent back surgery, it may be a few weeks before I can get it out to the range. Thanks to all who offered
their thoughts and opinions here !

I have had mine for 2 years and have at least 4k rounds through it. It definitely jams 5-10 times per 400 rounds. I have the Mags it came with and 2 larger capacity ones. Copper rounds have far less jams than lead rounds. For bulk rounds I settle for Thunderbolts and live with a few jams. It’s a terrific gun for the range. I have a Ruger Mark IV and it eats through any round with no jams. It too is fun but the mag capacity is only 10. If I had to choose, the Sig is my favorite. It’s not for defense so I don’t factor the few jams in. Outside of the Ruger I am unaware of any .22 semi auto that doesn’t suffer from some jams on the cheap ammo. It’s simply a dirty ammo issue. I keep thinking about buying a TX2 to see for myself but I have not done so yet. It just doesn’t feel as good in my hand as the Sig.

I purchased one when they first came out and had some minor problems. So I sold it off years ago. My friend just bought one recently. And he is very happy with it. I believe it hasn't jammed yet on him, but he only shoots mini-mags only. So that explains a lot of things...

Have had mine for 5 years, bought a bunch of CCI Velicitor ammo and it did not like it, switched to cheaper Aguila ammo and it has been fine ever since. Accurate and fun to shoot. Us it as a training pistol for my children and first-time shooters, works out great!

I own two P322s. I was so pleased with the first that I bought a second one. I use Mini Mags, almost exclusively in all of my rimfire semi autos. They're clean and consistent. I own S&W, Glock, Walther and Browning .22 semi autos. All feed and discharge reliably. If I had any complaint, the P322 triggers could be better, but these are gong and tin can plinkers-- plenty fine for that.

Just because something is legal to do doesn't mean it is the smart thing to do.

Oh oh, I never heard the warning about leaving the mags loaded. I've got several in workshop that have been loaded for over a year.


Integrity is doing the right thing, even when nobody is looking.

I could be wrong but I thought the claim was they had to be loaded one bullet at a time. I never heard anything about leaving them loaded. Either way, I have never left mine loaded and load as instructed. I still get a few jams per session.
