Walther P22

I got one for my wife a few years ago as an anniversary present. She LOVES it.
I had my son carry it in the woods last year while archery hunting too.

The only thing about it is, when the mag is fully loaded (10 rounds) it can jamb (FTL I think some call it here in the forum.) To prevent that from happening, I just kept the mag loaded to 7 max at first. I have kept the mags fully loaded in the case for most of the time and the last time we shot with it, I could have 9 rounds in the mag without an FTL occurrence.
Also, the slide has a catch where it will occasionally not fully load the round. When that happens, I just lightly tap the back of the slide with my palm and it loads. I think this is part of the FTF with 10 rounds problem. I haven’t checked lately, but after keeping the mags fully loaded for a while, I expect to be able to not have that problem any more.

Great plinker! Good kids first pistol too. I’d say it is on a par with the Ruger .22 pistols for a kid’s first gun.

All in all I'd say a good pistol. Nothing to bet your life on but definately a fun plinker. They are really accurate too, especially with the 5" barrel. They are a bit picky about ammo, not to an extreme point but it wont digest crap ammo. I've had a few problems with misfeeding but mainly because I hold it with my pinky finger pulling down on the mag. I've taught myself not to do that anymore and have had minimal problems since. For the price they are really fun pistols.

HMmmmm....
Now I've not thought of that as being an issue.
That does it! I'm going to the range to test it.:image035:

I know of 2 guys with em. Good guns, but both had problems with the slide locking back ,even with ammo in the mag. also both had an issue with the safety egaging with slide recoil while shooting.
Smith/ walther will fix any problems though.
