    Default Bought a Walther P22 (Thanks for All of Your Advice)

    Thanks to those who commented on my "whether to buy" thread. I opted to go with a Walther P22, after having an opportunity to shoot one earlier today:

    I've been seriously considering one of these for a while, as I love the P99. Be sure to post back once you've put a bunch of rounds through it.

    That is a nice looking gun. I would eventualy like to own one. Please do a review once you get to a range. If you do not mind me asking, how much was it?
    Some people just plain suck.
    If you're gonna be dumb ya gotta be tough.

    Will do. I'll probably put a few hundred through it tomorrow, and see how it works initially, and over time.

    $309. And yes, I'll report back after taking it to the range.

    Yeah so far so good. I have around 1200 rounds through mine which have been
    CCI Mini Mags
    CCI Blue box
    CCI Stingers
    Federal Bulk

    The only one I had trouble with was Remington Bulk packs they were horrible in it. I like the OD by the way.

    Thanks. I was expecting them to have a black one in stock, but the OD does look pretty nice. It was suggested (by one of the guys at Tanner's) that I run a few hundred rounds of CCI Mini Mags through it initially, so I picked some up. I hit Walmart for a box of Federal Bulk. Should I try to avoid hollow point, or does it really make no difference?
