George, the 715 is a quality pistol and fires a great variety of 22lr no issue. Some shooting reviews here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pgtd8FisBoo

If you have another AR pistol similar in size and weight to this then it could be a great training aid, with less expensive ammo, or if you just want a plinker/range toy it could be fun, supressing 22lr while using subsonic ammo can be very pleasant and easy on the ears, if your wanting something for home defense I'd get a bigger more powerful caliber, unless recoil sensitivity is an issue, then in that case 22lr can be a fine option. this particular pistol can at times be difficult to source magazines for, but mossberg makes quality dependable guns so thats a plus. Its worth it, if you have a specific need of an AR style 22lr pistol, if its your first gun, id go with something bigger, or if your set on 22lr ruger 10-22 was my 1st gun and it was great for learning and practicing good fundamentals, I still shoot my ruger occasionally, but not as much as I used too.

George, pros- with the price of ammo right now, 22lr ammo is the only ammo I'm not seeing dollar signs every time I pull the trigger, so huge plus. These are quality, fun, reliable pistols. Practically no recoil. It's threaded with 1/2×28 thread pitch so you can add a muzzle brake or suppressor. Already Includes a red dot. Plenty of pros. Only con can think of is magazines are hard to find but that's true with most firearms at the moment. It's up to you if it's worth it. I think if you want a fun little range toy, then yes it's definitely worth it. If you would want a 22lr AR-15 style rifle here's a link to a Walther hammerli that are fantastic. Hope this helps and good luck with your choice. Link here............. https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/109265/walther+arms+hammerli+tac+r1+semi-automatic+.22+lr+16.1
