Is that a S&W 22/14 derivative?

I owned one and the extractor would never work.

Worse gun ever.

***Worse gun ever.***

NO! The worst .22 was the STERLING pocket pistol from the 1970s. It would not fire two shots without constantly jamming. Worst pistol I EVER owned!

On the the other hand the Bernardelli VP .22 was one of the best. Wish I still had it.

I will admit that the S&W .22 did not perform well according to HANDGUN TESTS magazine (remember them?). They wanted to throw theirs in a lake rather than sell it to someone else.

Right now I have an Iver Johnson copy of a Walther .22 and it shoots good IF I use WINCHESTER ammo. Federal ammo will jam it.
