I'll never buy another Walther again, not after the p22 debacle.

I understand it's just a matter of finding the kind of ammo they like... but that's the case with most rimfire autoloaders.

Negative, this thing was a peice of shit and a safety issue.

Funny I looked at a Glock 23 Wed. on the way home from work.

Ah, I guess ymmv. A lot of guys on RFC have them an do ok.
It's a toss up for which one looks sexier with a suppressor... the P22 or the SIG Mosquito

I'd like to hear more about the P22 problem, maybe a link.

I don't like the sig safety is near the mag drop I have bumped once or twice just on the airsoft model I have.

Ok I thought you were talking about the locked slide problem.

Amorok · 02-13-2009, 10:51 AM

So I bought a Walther P22. It was supposed to be my wife's first gun and it looked cool, so we were happy. The guy at Cabella's told us it like hot ammunition, so we bought CCI stinger's and took it to the range. My buddy went with me, and this is a guy that can hit a pop can 300 yards away with an HK USP .45 consistently, so he knows guns. A couple of others came too, plus me and Ulu - seriously, everyone wanted to try this thing.

Well, the first problem was the magazine release. It dropped the magazine whenever you pulled the trigger, took us forever to figure this one out. Again, me and the other guys all own triggar-guard mag release weapons, so it isn't user error, the thing is just weird. Well, we got over that, but the gun kept fucking up. Jams, stovepipes and misfires 5-7 rounds out of ten. And the worst problem, after less than a hundred rounds we noticed the problem that made me take it back - the spring pin on the slide under the safety had started to protrude out the left side and you COULDN'T SAFETY THE WEAPON. It went bakc to Cabella's the next day and I bought a Ruger MkII which has never given us a problem. You could drop this thing out of a moving car, it's rock solid. So fuck walther, hooyah Ruger.
