Terrific gun for the casual shooter or someone looking for good, basic protection. If you're the type that goes to the range every week and runs a box or two of ammo through it then I'd suggest one of its big brothers instead. Unlike the 220, 226, etc., the 2022 just isn't designed to stand up to the rigors of shooting 10k, 15k, 20k+ rounds through it (Think that's a lot?? Just 100 rounds twice a month and you'll approach those #s in less than 4 years). If you're just going to run a box through it every once in a while then I strongly reccommend it.
