Walther P-22

One thing I DID modify was the hammer's top edge before I ever fired it...I filed and stoned it down until the retracting slide barely presses on it and that very much smoothed up the gun's operation.  As purchased the hammer placed considerable upward pressure on the slide during cocking and perhaps that has much to do with why my pistol has never FTF, or FTE.  Once that hammer is cocked the slide uses little additional energy in reciprocation.

This is the reason my black one is PIA to put together after cleaning. I'm not fond of the recoil spring either, but the gun(s) shoots so well that I'm willing to put up with it.

I'll have to agree, my P22 always shot very well and gave little reason for complaint, but, I've decided zinc firearms are just not for me. No logic involved in this decision, just personal preference.
