Blog references aren't reliable and should not be cited, especially since I disagree with the information being published. I can make a humorous Internet page and post false claims about the Jennings J-22 reliability & accuracy too -- maybe all about it being a wonderful target gun (they're not of course). I've test fired more than a few of these things, I've also owned a J22 myself since the early 1990's, it is a cheap pocket pistol that will work if you use the right kind of ammunition. You can not use low velocity target ammo in the J-22 or it will jam. They still aren't the most reliable guns when loaded with high quality CCI MiniMag or Stingers, but I guarantee that "review" would have gone better if he had tried some different types of ammunition, good for safe plinking and basic self-defense. It is a cheap and junky little gun that you might buy at your local pawn shop, but the time-tested Browning blow-back design will work 100% if paired with the right type of ammo and I think it's sad people might avoid these cheapos because of these tall Internet tales and talk of J-22 slides flying down range, etc. Most people aren't going to take a $400 S&W revolver fishing whereas no problem with a $40 Jennings! Better to have something in your pocket, more than a just Buck knife anyhow.
