After having to wait over a month I got a new S&W Victory 22LR

[Antares]

I've put a couple hundred rounds through mine no problems what so ever normal and high velocity ammo. One thing I did do is when I first got it I cleaned it and put some medium loc-tite on the takedown screw. The only problem I had was out of the box it shot high and I had to adjust the sight for that. It is far more accurate than my TX 22 or my Mark III was that I sold. It's good you found a gun that you like.

Are you still shooting your Victory? I have two that will run any ammo I put in them. Cleaning is a breeze and they seem to stay relatively clean even with dirtier ammo. I've got a cheap red dot on one and it's acting wonky; so I may just go back to the factory sights. My plinking is 7-10 yards and the red dot makes it "easier" ; but I can be almost as accurate with the factory sights.

will love to hearyour experience as you shoot with it so as to learn.

I still love to shoot mine I I have tried CCI and Winchester ammo for 200 hundred rounds and haven't had a hiccup yet. I have a TX22 that will only shoot regular 22 not the high velocity stuff without stove piping or failure to eject. My grandkids love to shoot it because it is quite a bit lighter than the Victory, so the Taurus goes with us when we go shooting. I think the Victory is a great gun and fun to shoot.

I have a couple of threaded Victories and love them. I use Vortex Razor Red dot sights on them and mainly shoot them suppressed (Dead Air Mask and AAC Element). I do like the fiber optic sights just fine also.

I have one, it’s a good Gun. Watch the front site screw, mine fell out. I contacted Smith and Wesson, they are sending me a replacement free of charge. Good customer service!

The only ammo mine or my step fathers didn't like was the quite ammo. It didn't eject from it.

It's a beauty!

I have a SS Browning Camper with a bull barrel, but take it apart to clean, never have. I might as well throw it away, I'd never get that thing back together.

I clean what I can see, run a snake down the barrel, lube...and nuttin else.

Still runs fine.

I bet millions upon millions of rifles and pistols over the years have had that exact life, and are/were none the worse for it.

Haven't had an opportunity to exercise the trigger.
