Cool little plinker, this particular gun is pretty accurate. I guess I got lucky.

Rodasj...What type of Ammo are you using?I bought one of this J-22's recently and was using a federal Bulk pack 36 grain hollow points high Velocity(1260fps)..The thing is the rounds case expands to much that I have to pull them from the chamber with pliers any insight to what ammo works for you?Have you ever had this case expanding issue?

@cazz77 i was using cheap federal bulk pack. I have cycled cci mini mags with no jams in this gun.

I've actually experienced a spring problem inside the pistol. The spring that gives the trigger tension for it to reset actually broke and wedged itself up by the feed ramp. It was an easy fix. My little J-22 shoots great with just the big box of federal 22lr. I've only had one jam and one failure to extract out of 550rds. Not bad for the $50.00 I paid for it.

[Rodasj]

Good times. Im actually considering getting another J22

my friend has one of these and we recently went out shooting and took it with us and its a 1 hit wonder lol. meaning it would shoot a round but get jammed because the ejection lever cant grab the spent shell properly. but aside from that its hilarious to shoot so it would be awesome if he got that fixed, is that a common problem with these?

[Rodasj]

It's is somewhat a common problem with these. I would suggest he gets a new extractor. That should solve the problem.

i shot about 350 rounds through mine and had the trigger reset problem but after the first 100 or so it was resolved. i guess it needed a break in period but yeah almost all .22's will jam in this thing EXCEPT the CCI stinger and such wich run 100%. this is a legit self defense tool. fits in a pocket, accurate, easy to field strip

These lil pistols are so damn loud to be a .22 lol !!!!!!

i have a jennings model 48 ,,380, and when i pull the slide back it dosnt cock, i just bought a new firing pin and magazine, any idea what is wrong?

[carnut476]

jennings arms are junk....go with phoenix arms.

@cazz77 Use CCI Mini Mags, Velocitors, and Stingers. You will have no feed problems. Federal Laces their powder with black powder to reduce cost therefore making it dirty and easier to Jam.

y is it that they fall apart???? i have one with 4 clips and when shotting but had not had a problem with mine... i keep serching and seing ppl have problems with there 22 jennings????

@crzyruskie86 haha. i just fixed mine the other day with some online research and now im getting like a jam or 2 every 12 rounds. the problem with mine was that the firing pin dimpled the edge of the chamber. which caused an irregular circular chamber. so when fired the shell would expanded and the dimple would lock the shell in then chamber. not even the extractor would be able to reject (causing the jam)the shell id have to muskit load it with a screw driver to extract it. lol

@47gomez47  no not yet, i told him i would go halves on the repair cause i like shooting the thing too but we have been lazy and broke so no dice hahaha.
