You will need a mix of persistence and patience. Gunbroker's prices are lower than they use to be so you might find one for under $300, but not much under. I got mine at Sportsmans Warehouse back in the Spring for $169 plus tax. It was a lucky find after waiting and waiting and visiting several gun stores for months. PSA had one for around $220, now gone. A local gun shop here in Charleston had one for $250, also now gone. And I saw one for sale at the Ladson gun show 1 1/2 weeks ago for about $275.

I do like mine. Still breaking it in. Yesterday had multiple fail to go in battery. Slide would not seat about two or three times per mag and I had to nudge it forward. I think I just need to wear off the new-ness. Not worried or disappointed. After all, it is a sub $200 economy pistol for plinking only.

OP
Picked up mine yesterday and was able to put a few mags through it.
Observations
Pro’s:
Price is excellent ($220 after transfer etc)
For the cost build quality is good
Great trigger
Fiber optic front sight
3 mags
Mag capacity (16!)
Threaded
Cons:
Rear sight is completely blacked out. I personally like a set of three dots or something similar. Easy fix
Grip to me feels kind of wide. The gun is narrow but for a 22 it just doesn’t fit my hand as well as any of my other 22 semis.
For the price, it’s a steal. I plan to pick up a second one for sure.
Here’s a quick video of the first mag through it suppressed with a Griffin Armament Optimus Micro can. 22 standard velocity

I called about 15 minutes after they posted it on Facebook. I called and gave them my credit card number. I will be picking it up Monday afternoon.
OP
Put a few more mags through mine today. Man this thing spits some brass like no other I’ve seen. Probably a good 15 feet to my right!
100 rounds through it and zero issues. Just took it right out of the box… no lube or anything. Plan to break it down tomorrow. So far it’s a 10/10!

I bought one for the kids and me to shoot. It’s run through almost 2K of anything and everything. We shooting feral beer cans and caged (non flying) clay pigeons. It’s lightweight and reliability is making me crave a second one.
The only thing it doesn’t like is ammo that went through the washing machine in my daughter’s pocket. 🙄
