Take this for what it's worth.
I've bought my Mom a P22 for Mother's Day 2 years ago. The pistol itself is wonderful, but it's not without faults. With non-jacketed ammo, it seems to have the most FTF. There are a couple of times that it FTE. I think this is due to the miniature of an extractor it has. Other than that it is light, it has a small grip (one that my Mom -small woman- can handle), and it is fun/cheap to shoot.
One thing that may reduce failure is to make sure that barrel nut is tighten. It does and will work itself loose after a range session or two, so keep an eye on it.
Can this gun make a great gun to start and practice on? Absolutely. Will I trust this gun for self-defense? Probably not.

Hope this helps.
