If there's a fly in the ointment, it hinges on the way the magazine release works. The hammer features a rounded spur but remains easy to grab and pull if one wishes to go immediately to single action operation. Unlike the parent P99, the P22 sports an exposed hammer. It isn't a target trigger to be sure but this isn't a target gun, either.
The double action pull is reasonably smooth with little "stacking" while the SA trigger action is fairly crisp and clean with just a hint of overtravel. We'd call these numbers entirely in the ballpark and grade the sample trigger completely acceptable. Walther says that the P22 trigger exhibits a pull that requires about 12 pounds in the DA mode and just over five pounds while working things in the single action mode. The P22 features a composite, dual-function trigger. The barrel is also rigidly attached to the right side-plate. Walther also relies on two steel side-plates, which are pinned into the composite receiver to serve as bearing surfaces for the slide. The P22 features a black, one-piece composite receiver while the slide and barrel are carbon steel.
Walther's P22 looks like a winner for these shooters right off the bat. But with the CCI ammo, that will probably fix most issues for this pistol.For a variety of understandable reasons, knowledgeable shooters have long desired companion arms that look, feel, and act like a centerfire semi auto but are chambered for the.
I'll have to do that as well, since I don't use them a lot. Good point made on storing them with the slide back. Now that I've spent some time with them, they fire fine. Plus, these are great little pistols now for each of my daughters to use. 1) got the first one without doing my research 2) got the second one used dirt cheap 3) I liked the walther name and the feel of the gun. There's a lot less friction now when it cycles which further addresses the FTF/FTE issues.Īnd the obvious elephant in the room, why didn't I get another gun. I also took maybe 1/16th off the top corner of the hammer. Not sure if it's a design flaw or whatever, in the fire position, i used dremel to grind the exposed part of that rod somewhat flatter so it's smooth on the slide. If you pull the slide back, you'll notice that this rod slides over and has friction as it goes over the hammer.
#Walther p22 safety position mod#
The only other mod I did was I grinded down the steel rod that holds the safety. I am NOT a gunsmith, so I probably didn't even take enough off to make a difference, but the polishing part is important. If you are going to mod that feed ramp, take a tiny (super tiny) amount off and polish it with dremel polisher and some polishing compound.
#Walther p22 safety position mods#
Thus, the common mods for this pistol are: 1) CCI ammo (mini mags, stinger or velocitors) 2) Volquartsen ejector (aftermarket but works way better, about $20 and easy DIY install) 3) i used a dremel (very very carefully) and sanded/polished the feed ramp so it was smoother going into the bore/chamber and 4) smoothed out the safety pin rod I joined a Walther forum and learned about the common FTF/FTE issues on there and it was mostly related to ammo.
