i must say after sending approx 1000 rds through my walther p22 i am quite pleased. yes, its a S&W import that have a bad reputation but i have found no reason to bad mouth this lil shooter. i have 6 makarovs and one, maybe two accompany me to the range, while the P22 hasnt missed a range trip since its purchase. gotta love that cheap ass remington box of hp's(525) for 9 bucks! cecil |
| yes, purchased new. i dont know how to tell date of manufacture on these type pistols. hinking.gif |
thanks for the heads up.... turns out it was made 2-04-04. at least thats what the date on the envelope is.... what do you guys/gals shoot through your p22's? i love the 525 rds of remington HP for 9 dollars! shoot all day for a couple of bucks. awesome. never a hic-up, well except for the occasional "dud" or ftf. id say im averaging about 3-5 per carton. |
I found that I had problems until it was GOOD and broken in. 2500+ rounds. Try CCI MInimags... and the Winchester Wildcat (the Wildcat specifically, not just any winchester). The Wildcat runs less than a dollar a box around here... works as good as Minimags at 1/4 the price. I have also shot some CCI Stingers thru it... thats good stuff too. |
| I'm on my second. I sent the first in to the factory after about 2500 rounds. The hammer wouldn't always hit. Sometimes it would stop in half cocked. The new one has about 1000, and no problems. It's not a defensive pistol for me so its no big deal, but I hope they worked out the kinks. |

you wont be sorry! and id like to add that i hit a stationary clay pigeon last weekend with my p22 at just over 110 yrds. after a magazine of "warm ups" i hit it on my 11th attempt. was close at all but 3 or 4 shots.....great thing about shootin in gravel pits, the clouds of dust dont lie..... cecil |

i have had my p22 for about 1 yr now. i love it! prob have about 5k rds through it.its not a tack driver pistol but for shooting the things around my house. Perfect. i payed $300 for the 5". case, 2 mags. i shot i softball at 40yds today 5out of 10 shots. very suprising to me. i shoot Remington Golden Bullets from walmart $9.47 for 550 pack. about 3-4 FTF or duds in a box. the only thing i dont like about it is the slide lock is wearing way too fast. it hardly stays back. if i put a fresh mag in when the slide is back it automaticlly slams foward and chambers a live round, and a pin that holds the firing pin in( i think) it keeps sliding out to the left very slowly, i push it in with my truck key. bout every 100 rds? whats up with that? should i call S&W or Walther, and see what they can do? |

Is that actually for sale in the US? They started listing it in the catalog last year, but it wasn't available then. I wish it would just be a laser, it would cut the price down and who needs a tac light on a .22 Rimfire anyway? |
On my Walther P-22 it just has an 'A' on it. Not the AC, the AD, or the AE. Can anyone tell me why that is?hinking.gif BTW- this P-22 is for sale!!! |
