Walther P22

[Mini-14]

Picked up a P22 yesterday. Nice gun. I really like the looks and feel. Thought it would be a great pistol for the grandkids to start off with. Couple things i dont like tho. Dont care for the mag release built into the trigger guard. It's small and kinda hard to release the mag. Safety lever is also very tight. Hopefully that will loosen up over time.

I got used to the mag release (still isn't great, but works fine for me). My girlfriend (who is the primary shooter) can't reach it without repositioning her hands. My safety has freed up a little bit, but still isn't great, kind of gritty feeling. I have about 600 rounds of mini-mags through it. No problems at all so far. Need to get some more mags though. RimfireCentral.com - Hobby and Info Source For All Rimfire Caliber Ammo and Firearms has a lot of good info on them in the walther forum.

Soaking wet phone books.

I shot one before and it was fun. Not as crisp as a Ruger but looked cooler

Yep. Don did some shooting too.

I had one of these for a while. I could load it up with any bulk ammo around and it ran just fine. Lots of fun to shoot too.

We bought one for our son about three years ago and it's been one of the most fun guns we own!

Wow, talk about a thread revival. You must have been bored.

Haterssssss. I've got to have a few quality posts sprinkled in my 4k plus. And P22s are cool.

I love shooting my P22. I stumbled across someone selling the P22 Viridian green laser on eBay so I picked that up for pretty cheap. It's pretty powerful, bright enough to see in the middle of the day.

This revival thread makes me realize that I haven't taken either of our P22's out for a walk in several months. Pretty sure they will find their way into my range bag this weekend now.

Bought 1 for my wife for Christmas. Its still in the box....... I guess I'll start shooting it. I think I'll get her another gun for her birthday!

What I've found that works best for me with trigger guard mag releases is to use the middle finger of my shooting hand. I had a P22 and have a few HK USP's and this works best for me.

Last year I put somewhere around 2k or more rounds through my p22. Its fun to shoot and practice with. Do you guys have the 5" barrel or the shorter. mine is shorter and wondered how the 5 inch compares.

I've had mine for 6 years now and have never had any problems with it. It's a great little gun.

I agree, this works better for me on the PPS.

I have had mine for about 6 years and has been no problem and is still as accurate as the day I got it. And has only around 7000 rounds through it.
