A lot of money for a .22 lr that's not some sort of competition pistol.
.22s make good first guns for those new to shooting, or for cheap recreational shooting but that's about it. I've never quite understood people who practice with .22s instead of their primary guns. Oh, I know why they do it...mostly because it's vastly cheaper to shoot .22 as opposed to 9mm, .45, etc., but the shooting experience is entirely different. Anyone who thinks that because they're proficient with a .22, they'll be correspondingly proficient with larger self-defense caliber pistols is going to be in for a rude surprise.
