Re: Range Report: P22
I've ran thousands of rounds through my Walther P22 and I haven't had any problems at all. The main problems I had were when I had the old mags and they're be silly. I have the 5" compensated model, and it's pretty accurate, although it isn't a ruger mark, which is the benchmark for a .22 pistol. The only thing I've really had wrong with mine is there is starting to be a bit of slide wear from the slide release. I'm going to contact S&W about this and see if they can or will do anything about it. I doubt they'll give me a new pistol, and usually most companies won't mill a new slide just for you to match seriel numbers, so who knows. I think I just wore out the recoil spring the last magazine I shot in the pistol because it had quite a few cycling errors. Now for shooting a brick of federal bullets (550 count) around once a week, or at least every 2 weeks, for 2 years and I bought it used. I'd say the little gun is pretty reliable and tough.
