Good job. I've got a 5" P22 and have found it to be very dependable. It's not picky on ammo at all, unless its just bad ammo *cough*RemingtonGoldenBullet*cough* with bad primers that won't ignite no matter how many times you hit them.

My P22 will feed and fire everything I give it, and I have nary a problem with light strikes. I compared the primer strikes against my Marlin 60 and found that the P22 pin striking surface is much narrower and "sharper" (for lack of a better word), which seems to account for its reliability in getting rounds to fire. I've never had a misfeed on mine, and It cycles anything from low power subsonic rounds up to the super-hot Aguila Supermaximum rounds (rated at 1750fps, but surely not out of my P22's 5" barrel) without a hiccup.

The trigger is a bit lacking, as it's quite gritty at the end of the pull, but is an OK starter .22LR pistol, especially for folks with small hands. The interchangeable backstrap is a nice touch, and lets you get adjust the grip to your liking. I have found it a good learning gun, as it tends to exaggerate any problems with technique without throwing things too far off, and aids new shooters in learning grip and trigger control.
