The thing is what is the main purpose of using an Arm? If it is just for carrying as a detterance then .22 IOF is good. No problem there. It even shoots fine. As such I used it for almost two years and fired around 60 rounds. And, I didn't have problem.
Main thing you need to keep in mind is that the frame is made of Alloy. So, you need to handle it carefully.
Overall I find the Arm quite satisfactory. But, then the purpose of use is what is important,
