Re: Walther P22 slide wear
I agree with Jay...I bought my P22 knowing that it may have a limited life span and I expect it at just $230. It is a fun gun and shoots cheap ammo. I did polish up my trigger bar ears and feed ramp a little and I keep her well greased and so far I haven't seen any "more than normal" wear to the slide...and this is after 3000 rounds. I will say that it needs kept clean. after about every 300-500 runds, it needs at least a shot of cleaner to make it cycle again, if not a field strip and good cleaning. But I still love it and I don't regret my purchase!
As far as slingshot loading, I too feel that it is good to teach...if a shooter is using a semi auto for self defense and a round fails to fire, the slide needs to be manipulated, chamber cleared and a new round fed. Not so for a revolver...so it is good to teach how to work the slide!
