I bought this pistol despite warnings from friends that magazine fed blow-back operated .22 pistols are very finicky. Justifying my decision as shrewd based on the fact that it was a Walther, I purchased the gun. I falsely believed that my wife would enjoy the ergonomics and lightness of the pistol. Instead, my friends were proven right. This pistol, while feeling great in the hand as almost an extension of the arm, leaves much to be desired...especially for a Walther. Buckets-o-ammo/bulk ammo does not cycle well at all. I had good luck with CCI, but I'm not interested in paying more than 6 cents/round for .22. I experienced "smoke stacks", failure to feeds, and failure to eject. Oddly enough, when firing an entire mag in a very quick fashion (2-3 rounds per second), the reliability increased. My unfounded/untested theory: .22 rounds do not produce enough blowback to effectively cycle the action, especially if you do not have a firm grip on the weapon. I believe that a lot of the required energy is absorbed in the wrist/arms when not fired with a firm grip. Thus, when firing quickly/cyclic, a person is expecting round after round and is therefore gripping the firearm more firmly, increasing reliability. As I said...untested theory. I also strongly dislike the magazine ejector lever located on the bottom of the trigger-well. Just not consistent with other pistols and therefore a hassle. Unbiased opinion, save longer and buy a Ruger Mark III or similar tried and tested .22 pistol.

It has some power and sounds nice. Shoots good. Nice defense gun for anyone or good carry handgun.

I actually purchased this gun several months ago, but took it to the range for the first time today. First for the positives.....this is a really cool looking gun and great fun too shoot. But, I couldn't believe the number of FTF's and FTE's I experienced in the first 100 rounds. I'll chalk that up to breaking in for now as those issues were less numerous as I continued to shoot. The FTE problem actually ceased to be an issue, but I continued having the FTF problem with at least one shell in each magazine load. I hope this is still just a breaking-in issue, but will have to see in future outings. For more positives, Bud's as always was very fast in their delivery despite the craziness that existed in the market when I first ordered this firearm. So, once again, 2 thumbs way up for Bud's. I don't and won't buy my firearms anywhere else. I also find that their prices are typically very competitive, if not the least expensive around. Thus, the poor rating I'm giving is entirely due to my experience with the gun.

Thank you buds for another fine weapon. Took it to the range today and pounded out 150 rounds with no FTF. Awesome little pistol that is very accurate. Alot of safety features make this a welcomed asset to my collection.

Now I know why Buds gets major props on most reviews. I had this Walther for my wife IN HAND from my dealer in 4 DAYS! Also, after shipping, insurance, and my dealers 35$ transfer fee, I still payed less than my local gun stores would have charged IF they had one in stock. The gun looks great and my wife loves how it feels in her hand. She is quite petite (5'1" 105 lbs), but I am a 6'1" firefighter and this Walther feels good in my hand as well! Now... If only we could find more Ammo.

some features are stiffor hard to work , such as safety and magazine release. the plastic takedown lever is also flimsy and awkward to operate for field stripping worked fine w/ remington hi velocity 22lr , but it failed to eject the 22 casing on remigton 22 ammo. with right ammo it is a fine little semi auto 22 pistol to shhot.

Bought this gun to get the wife used to semiauto operation and safety before moving her into the Ruger SR9c we bought from Buds a couple of months back. Took it to the range last weekend and pushed 100 rounds of CCI Mini Mags through it with very few problems. Shot dead on at 25 feet, and at 50 feet I think it was more my eyesight than the gun that put a few flyers into the mix. Fires nicely, and only had 1 FTE through the first 100 rounds. Fun to shoot, and once .22 LR starts to reappear, it'll be an affordable way to get the wife used to handguns. Until she's ready, i'll be taking this to the range with the rest of my weapons - it's that fun of a gun. Great price and service yet again from Bud's.

Nice little handgun! My wife shot one at our ccw class and she loved it. So I got her one. I have taken it out to the range a lot too and I must say I really like it too! Accurate and comfortable. Gum came on great condition no issues and was shipped fast.

I love this little Walther, and so does my wife. It shipped very quickly from Buds, even at a high volume time. The background check took almost two weeks, but that's the state of CO's fault. It's like a little version of the P99. It fits a my wife's smaller hands very well, but my large hands can still hold it comfortably. It has a high quality feel for a .22 caliber. We still have not shot it yet, as the .22 ammo is very hard to find. Actually, .22 cal has been impossible to get anywhere. I hope we fond some soon so we can try this little gun out. I hope it shoots as well as it feels/looks.

Buds was great as usual. Fast shipping, great service, flawless trasaction The pistol on the other hand.....Its a good pistol, but a bad design. It has some enginering flaws IMO. This pistol was designed specifically for the CCI Mini Mag. I still had cycling problems with the M.M.'s. The problem with my particular pistol was the hammer and the point of contact with the slide. There was too much metal and it was hanging up. Fixable but kind of a pain. I paid $350 bucks for a NIB pistol I had to work on, not the end of the world, but not an ideal situation.If you have some skill in 'smithing, you'll be ok. If you don't, stay away from this pistol. You will regret it. On a positive note. After all my filing and polishing, the pistol runs flawlessly! It will eat the dirtiest, nastyiest ammo i can find. Pull the trigger and it will go bang every single time. I would trust my life to it! I trust my wifes life with it,...It is her carry gun.

This gun has been something of a disappointment. It won't shoot much of the ammo available unless you're willing to spend $$$ on the top line stuff. FTE's were constant with all of the bulk .22 ammo. Even more troubling is what I term a pretty bad trigger. It isn't smooth and doesn't break cleanly. The potentially worst problem is with the trigger bar. Since buying this pistol, I've done a lot of reading about its total disassembly and some modifications. The ears on the trigger bar - and several other components - have burrs and look to be unfinished in spots. Some parts have "seams" like one would see on a diecast toy car. The trigger bar in mine was tearing up the slide. Every time the gun would cycle, the ears would strike the slide, leaving a dent in the slide. This can be a fatal flaw that ultimately destroys the slide after only a few hundred rounds. While mine wasn't terribly beat up to look at, I ended up taking the gun completely apart to fix the ears, the trigger, and deburr everything internal. Frankly, for a German gun, this one isn't worth the trouble in my opinion. If you don't have gunsmithing skills, this could be an expensive experiment.

Very happy with the service from Buds, got it in 3 days and went straight to the range and shot 200 rounds of Remingtons. One failure to feed was the only issue, otherwise it performed like a champ. Stripping and reassembly is a snap using the included slide spring guide tube, otherwise I can see how it would be a challenge. Great for recreational shooting and training.

First off another great transaction with Buds and my ffl Stewart Bros. As for the gun, I purchased this gun for my twelve year old to shoot. We picked it up yesterday, and after a quick cleaning we took it to the range today. I loaded and shot the first 10 rounds of CCI mini-mag 40 grain to ensure the gun worked properly and safley,no problems what so ever, then handed the gun to my son who shot another 90 rounds with no problems. The gun performed outstanding. The only issue is that he has to get use to the magazine release which is located under the trigger guard, and just a little awkward for him, but all in all great little gun.

This gun does not have the cosmetic looks like the p22 just six mo earlier they look bland not as sharp looking cheeper looking I bought one last year and product looked great. not saying that new product is not better or equal in quality but cannot understand the changes... Just my opinion only maybe others will agree

I love this gun. Have nothing to complain about so far. Took it right out of the box and shot 50 rd of mixed ammo without a single problem. Its a blast to plink around with and it is beautiful as well. I will post more when I get a few hundred rounds through it and when I tear it down for cleaning. Buds was much improved as far as shipping speed from my last purchase. Don't hesitate to buy this gun if you are on the fence. It is a great weapon.

I have the 3.42" barrel P22. This gun was purchased for training and practice for family. It has two generic flaws. One is loading during shooting. The gun did not load 4x while my wife was shooting. Futher review from the NRA rifileman video showed that the barrel has a lip on the breach side that sometimes stops the bullet from entering the chamber. This issue has been brought to S&M attention. The second issue is the recoil spring. When the gun is dismantled for cleaning the problem is re-assembly. I discovered that I was better off compressing the spring and inserting the rod thru the front of the slide before trying to set the slide back on the frame. Otherwise, I like this gun for what it was purchased for, plinking. I purchased additional magazines so that we could continue shooting and not just sit there reloading. I will also purchase the 5" barrel. It is a good gun but could be better with a little work. I give it a 4 out of 5.

First time ordering from Buds. I am impressed, ordered online Saturday afternoon and picked it up at my dealer on Wednesday afternoon. Now the gun - overall very happy with it. I have fired three different manufactures ammo through it. Only one had the dreaded failure to feed with every magazine. Seemed to always be toward the start of the magazine and was one then another then no problem the rest of the magazine. That ammo had a much fatter nose on the bullet than the other two which coned out more. Two were bulk ammo and one was premium ammo. I am not including names as I am not here to bash one ammo or another. I have shot over 500 rounds already and have to say I am so happy I bought it. At first I thought it looked tiny and was worried I had made a mistake, but it feels great in my hand and I love shooting it. I have two friends that want to purchase one now. I just absolutely love shooting this thing and the cost savings are outstanding. I did a lot of research and I truly believe that the ammo makes all the difference with this gun. I would recommend this pistol to anyone that wants a fun, cost effective pistol for plinking.

Instead of spending hundreds of dollars for 9mm or 45 ammo, I decided to get a 22. I was a little nervous about buying the P22 gun at first. I read tons of reviews about different failures and only having to use expensive 22 ammo like CCI which runs like $8 for 50 rounds. I just wanted something my girlfriend and I can go plinking with. I bought it with low expectations and it literally left me speachless. The accuracy is great, it a little small but still fits my hand nice, and I can fit it IWB comfortably if I want to conceal carry it. I spent about $19 for 550 rounds of Long rifle federal ammo and it shoots perfectly. I put more than 700 rounds through it so far and I only had one eject failure during the break in period. My girlfriend absolutely loves it, little to no recoil what so ever, perfect for one-handed shooting. I will have to buy another one in pink now. Buds had amazing service and really fast shipping, I received it in less than a week.
