Any one own a walter P22?

[tbaby303]

I wanted to know if any one this form own a walter P22. I want to buy one but heard good and bad reviews on the pistol. I wanted to know if it really picky on the 22lr ammo. I know that CCI mini mags are the best 22lr round but it cost like 9.99 a box of 100, I wanted to know if your walter takes the walmart bulk pack? any FFT or FTE. Thanks. I wanted to get the avantage arms kit for my glock 26 first but those are so hard to get these days i might have to go with the walter P22.

Mine seems to like Remington bulk pack stuff the best. For the most part though, I haven't had any major problems with anything I have tried..

[opie011]

Mine is the exact opposite of Marlin's. Mine loves the federal bulk packs and hate the Remington bulk packs. I have no issues with the federal ammo and I have a FTF every 3rd or so with the Remington ammo.

Anyway, great little gun and is an absolute blast to shoot. I wouldn't sell it for anything!!

fed 550 bulk pack with or w/out suppressor.
winchesters, cci and the remington yellow jackets.

my Sig Mosquito, Buckmark, Ruger MK II, alos like the bulk packs

Should I buy a walter p22 then? I like the ruger mk3, but I don't like how it look. The walter fill better and look better. What are the pros and cons of the walter?

My P22 doesn't seem to like anything "lead", plated works best. Bulk packs seem to do fine from wally world. Federal/Remington.

I see/hear similar issues with others like the sig mosquito, but have never had a problem with my Ruger MK II, it likes anything and will run forever before cleaning...

Love the P22, kids love to shoot the P22...

m2 cents.

I have one and it's a great gun. Shoot all the ammo I put in it, with only one reject so far. It's a great, sharp shooter, and has enough recoil to please my 10 year old son. Last week end at the range I had my p22 and my sig 522 out, and about 10 guys stopped wanted to buy them both!

[tbaby303]

So what the answer. Should I buy a waalter p22? I'm confuse, I want a 22lr pistol

[sniper7]

yes buy a walther.
mine likes pretty much anything. I shoot mostly federal bulk pack since I have about 25000 rounds of it[Coffee]

and it shoots well with a suppressor[Beer]

only thing I noticed while shooting suppressed is the federal stuff will sometimes shoot really low. not an issue without the can on though.

[ruthabagah]

it's fun to shoot and hold well it's value.

The p22 is a good little gun. I heard all the stories, and so I ran mine hard with a variety of ammo. It functioned fine with most everything I tried. In fact I wanted to see how well it would run dirty, and so for the first 2500-3000 I didn't clean it. Over half of that with a can on. I had about a string of 60 rounds that jammed towards the 2k mark, so I was at the range and just kept shooting, and then it starting chugging along again. I have about 3k suppressed through it and about 3k unsuppressed through it now and I have nothing but good to say about it, except it is a little small in my hands.

Mine cares more about shooter than the ammo.

If you man-handle (grip it too tightly) it, the mag release can get hit, slightly releasing the mag but not dropping it. Upon the next cycle you won't have a round chambered.

I've seen a few friends get stove-pipes on every shot (I don't get any).

There is a noticible difference on functionality depending on how the triggered is pulled. If you are smooth there is no problem, if you are harsh with it (similiar to the man-handling) it can act up (stove-pipe, FTE, etc).

I love the gun and can shoot nearly any ammo with 95% reliability.

Hope this helps.

[tbaby303]

Thanks for the info guys that relly help. I'm gonna go pick one up today. Thanks again

Bought one for my girlfriend.

DO NOT BUY ONE WITH THE "COMPENSATOR" ON IT.

It's not a real compensator. The barrel is not ported. IT IS A HUGE PAIN IN THE ASS TO REMOVE. You have to take this tiny little allen nut out, or loosen it up a lot. Super easy to lose those tools. Gun is enough of a PITA to get back together as it is, and the compensator adds nothing to it.

Other than that, it's been a fun plinker. I took it to the range last night, and not paying attention dropped some .22 Long into it, instead of .22 Long Rifle. I guess I should have looked at the package more carefully at the store... I now have 96 rounds with nothing to shoot them.
