Walther Report

paperboy · 06-03-2009

Shot my P-22 again today. I had picked up 200 rnds of Stingers to shoot. I shot 150 without a single jam. The only problem I had was 1 light strike other than that it shot perfect! I did try a magazine of reg. velocity rounds and had the same jamming issue. Went back to the CCI's, problem solved. I also found I could load a magazine with 6-7 reg rounds on the bottom and 2-3 stingers on top and it would shoot fine. Don't know why but if the first 2-3 rounds were hot it would fire the reg velocity after that just fine. Will I eventually be able to shoot bulk in this? A couple of more questions. Is it ok to spray CLP Break free into the parts in the lower? Will it hurt the polymer? I use it on the slide parts. And, how do the magazines disassemble? I noticed some crud in the mags and would like to clean them. Thanks guys for all your advice it helped alot!!!! Boy, this pistol sure is fun!!!!

You will be able to shoot bulk stuff after the gun breaks in. I have seen them run on the cheap federal bulk stuff and the federal 510's(blue box in 50rds)

As for the clp, it will not hurt your gun.

Most mags you can push a button in on the base plate and slide it apart. But becareful the spring can shoot out.

Make sure you check for slide "etching" on these P22's. They try to machine them selves apart.

Google search on P22 Trigger Bar ear fix or P22 Walther Bible.

From my "New Plinker" Thread, for my new P-22.....

Haven't convinced myself to disassemble it just yet. Might see how it runs this weekend, and go from there. Looks like this is a popular little gun!

If shooting stingers for the first couple rounds help it, maybe it's just that the magazine springs need worked out a little and are too stiff right now.

DING DING DING, gets my vote as to the problem. Try loading a magazine with 2 less rounds and try that. It that works load the mags up full after shooting for the day and try to break the springs in.

I have a taurus .22LR that I carry as a pocket gun. It is pretty nice, but small for real stopping power.

It is a flip-up semi-auto that I picked up from a constable.

No real kick and accurate too. Very kewl
