Walther P22

<< < (2/2)

Chris Z:
For what it costs the Walther P-22 is a decent little gun. It has been especially great for getting my kids started with handguns.

As said before, there is no such thing as a perfectly reliable .22

I recommend the 3.5" barrel model. I had both the 3.5" and the 5" barrel model. The longer barrel has a cheesey extension that clamps on to the barrel. On my gun, the stress of that extension banging against the slide caused by slide to break in half.

Sent it to Smith and Wesson, who ended up replacing the slide even though the gun was long out of its one year warranty.

I noticed that extension deal.  Didn't much like it.  Good info.  Looking forward to running some rimfire through it this weekend.  I think I might want the laser for it.... 8)

Well, got a chance to finally fire the little pistol.  Fun, to be sure, and not terribly bad to actually hit something with.   That's a Good Thing as far as I'm concerned with any pistol.  It was cantankerous with the Winchester rimfire I purchased, but that was some inexpensive bulk ammo.  I am going to try some of the better quality rimfire when I get a chance.  I've fired enough M16s that I am used to misfires  ;D
