Long Term Update

[Kilibreaux]

I've owned my P22 for awhile now and it has performed flawlessly.  It never fails to feed or eject and has functioned perfectly with a suppressor attached.  The sights have never flown off, the slide has never departed from the gun, and nothing has evaporated before my eyes.

However, I may not be shooting mine enough to uncover these issues.

Anyone else have a long-term update?

Good news about your success.

I no longer own a P22 but when I did it worked pretty well.

Mine did spit the front sight once and the rear sight was a little wobbly but overall a fun pistol for plinking.

Kids loved it due to it's small size and light weight.

I'm thinking of purchasing a P22 for plinking and having fun at the range. I've heard so many bad things about them I'm reluctant to get one. I really would like a .22 pistol. Would i be making a mistake getting the P22? Would you suggest another one? Or is all the bad reviews by people who don't know what they're doing?

Thanks

If you like the P22 then you might also like the Ruger SR22.

Very similar in size and weight but with an aluminum slide instead of Walther's zinc alloy slide.

I've handled a few Ruger's and they are better looking pistols, quality wise, and I've read they enjoy a better reputation.

Price is similar.

good info! My daughter had looked at the Walther, not serious about a purchase yet...but she looked!

Awesome. Thanks for the info. I'm going to go to the shop and check them out side by side.
