Although the 10/22 is ideal, theres a lot of 22lr rifles that are cool and functional..... I wonder what shop will bring this in.....

This one is probably very fucntional and innovative cause its from Kel Tec.... :thumbsup:

Honestly, based on first hand experience, keltec guns are kind of cheap.

Cheap feeling.

I also have seen reliability problems with some models.

I don't have firsthand experience with the model you're looking at but based on the other models I've handled and shot, I wouldn't recommend it.

Anyone ever handled a Kel Tec SU 22 before?? Yah people will probably recommend a 10/22 but just wanted to hear from anyone who may have actually fired one. Thanks!! :shaka:

I have and don't have anything good to say about them.  The one I fired didn't like lead or hollow point rounds, so lots of FTF/FTE's. Just too unreliable and finicky for me to ever consider owning one. Also, personally, I don't really care for the polymer receiver. (To me) the whole thing just didn't "feel" right...more like cheap plastic than high-tech polymer.  The quality just isn't there.

There's a reason 99% of the people out there (other than to be a wiseass) will recommend a 10/22. For the same base price of the SU22+mags? You can get a Ruger plus a bunch extras to trick it out and still have some left for ammo.  :thumbsup:

This went from a "what do you guys think?" to a "let's all bash on Kel Tec" thread. Not that there's anything wrong with that, lol.

Man, I sure hope that's not what everyone thinks!!  :(  I did want honest thoughts about the SU 22 and majority of the comments echo what I read online that Kel Tecs feel kinda cheap and the SU 22 has some FTF/FTE issues. The comments really did help me to make a final decision. Thanks again to those 2ahawaii members who posted!! :shaka:

Ruger 10/22---- zero failures with 10 rounders and the 25 round ruger mag.  Does not feel cheap in the hands at all!  Plus, lots of options for upgrades etc.....
