not necessarily on this forum -- but if you search "walther p22" on the web -- you get a lot of negatives. ie. picky on ammo, junky feeling, etc.
it's not incredibly accurate -- but once you get used to it, you can compensate.

not bad for 10 rounds at 33 ft. for a really light, small pistol -- right?
regarding ammo: i've run about 1000 rounds of winchester wildcats through it with 2 jams and 1 ftf. however, i ran another 250 rounds of 40 year old "western" ammo (my dad had some 22lr lying around that was $.50 per box of 50 (must be nice) that ran flawlessly.
go figure.
for cheap fun -- this is the firearm.
* question -- the gun shoots low and it came with 3 interchangeable front sights. tallest to shortest 4, 3, 2 (which is on the firearm). any chance there's a 1 out there somewhere? it might fix the need to compensate.
