What doesn't go wrong with this thing? It started off great, the first two magazines ran flawless. Then about half way through the third mag it started having troubles feeding, I tried three different kind of ammunition with it, no luck on that issue. Then after about the 5th mag it started misfiring... Once again tried all three brands of ammo and nothing, I was starting to get pretty pissed lol. Then when I though it wouldn't get any worse, it stopped ejecting them. The last five rounds I had to gently pry out with a small screwdriver.

The worst part is I recently just got my parents into shooting... And this was my mother's first pistol, she couldn't even enjoy it, pissed me off even more cause she was disappointed. Then there is me with my GSG 1911 .22 Tac and my father with his M&P .22 which both run flawlessly. What do I do with this thing? Throw it back in the seller's face or try and get it fixed? Or they even worth getting fixed? Was thinking of selling it and just getting another GSG like mine.
 
From what I've read, these Glock type .22s seem to be quite reliable. Maybe you got a lemon? Sounds like the gun needs a good cleaning. Also, try higher powered ammo. As everyone says, CCI Minimags or stingers. If all else fails, return the gun to the store and trade for a Browning Buckmark or a Ruger Mk 3.
 
+1 on the CCI mini-mags. 36 or 40 grains. The wife's Sig Mosquito won't cycle anything but CCI. We had the same problems with other ammo. Within 20 or 30 rounds the gun wouldn't cycle any more, but we had success with the CCI's.

Cannon
 
You might have a lemon. I was able to break mine in with Minimags, when they were still available to buy. It currently cycles Federal bulk no problem. It has been very reliable for me.
 
Thanks guys. And yes it was cleaned very well prior to the malfunctions. Also I tried them 1550FPS Remington Hornet shells, which you'd think would run fine. I also tried American Eagle, and Thunderbolts, with no luck what so ever.

Not sure how the rem hornets (never heard of them, only yellow jackets) perform, but 1550 should be plenty. However the American Eagle and thunderbolts are not the best quality ammo. The American Eagle is OK, it fails to cycle the slide on my gsg at least once a mag and the thunderbolt is about the worst 22lr going.

If you can find it, try better quality stuff like Cci minimags, etc.
