Sig P322: finally, a reliable 20+1 round 22lr pistol!?

I've finally gotten some hands-on with this new one. Wow, it really knocks the TX's dingus-in-the-dirt. Much better feel in the hand, not so chunky. Superior sights. Better looking.

My P322 is anything but reliable. Huge amount of FTF unless I use CCI ammo. Light firing pin strike and impact located 1/16 inside edge of rim. Least I can say is not too pleased. Yes I called Sig. They blamed the cheap ammo.

Since you said the Sig is better, do you have a Taurus tx22 competition for sale then?
Thanks

Selling it??

Thom, I'd sold the TX earlier this year, and kept my KelTec P17.
I'll compare it with the P322 soon. Hopefully, mine will be reliable.

First outing was uninspiring. Had two types of Remington, one lead one washed. Win/Wildcat lead, and some kind of Federal washed. For good measure, I tried all four of those before I ran a mag of Mini-Mag through each. Out of those five flavors, the Sig had several f-t-f's, inclding Mini-Mag. Wildcats were 50% duds in the Sig, and ran like champs in the KT.

I made sure the P322 was lubed before I started. However, I think I will flat soak it before the next try out. The KT had zeros issues at all, and remained more accurate, with more loads closer to POA/POI. It's trigger is both lighter, and smoother than the Sig's. Recoil impulse/flip was about the same between the two, which is incredible considering the Sig weighs 5oz more, 12.5 to 17.5. The mags on the Sig are the best so far, with great ease of loading save for the last 2 of their 20rd cap. The KT bottoms out on 18, but is a serious beyotch to go past 15.
