>The pistol has been claimed to be flawed because of its soft material. Another frequent claim is that the gun malfunctions more often than should be expected. It has also been criticized for its accuracy, with some critics claiming that it could only hit a dinner-plate sized target at about 10 yards at best.
>The J-22 is held in low regard.Owners of expensive handguns dismiss the J-22 as junk. From that perspective, it is thought of as a "throw away" gun used mainly by criminals. However, there are some people who think of the J-22 as simply a fun "plinker". The small size of the J-22 makes it popular as a "tackle box" gun, for shooting snakes, or dispatching small animals.
>The J-22 and current JA-22 (manufactured by Jimenez Arms) are often purchased by low-income individuals as a means of self-defence.
