Hi Nutn, great review. You are spot on, this pistol has a lot of problems. I was warned about components breaking on it by a Walther expert. If you were looking for a quality Walther, look no further than the Walther TPH (made in Germany) that has a great history with the CIA/SEALS and other Governments.
@shanpowar No you don't. The great state of Nevada only has a CCW permit. Only thing you have to do is get yourself to a gun store. If you live in Clark County you have to register handguns after purchase. Pretty much all the stores will do it for you.
Even though the P22 looks like a short action recoil type firearm its actually blow-back. The barrel doesn't move and I hear the slide has a good lock up so the sights should always have the same point of aim; but I do get what your saying about making shots with those pesky little sights. In theory it should be mechanically capable of bullets through bullets at 25 yards but I really don't like those sights either. Also not a good track record way to many bad failure videos on you-tube.
This gun is terrible... Blew up in my hand, and sliced my hand open... Absolutely totaled, could've killed me... And Walter / Smith & Wesson refuse to replace it...
Oh, did I mention I'm 13 and almost lost my hand because of this hunk of junk?
@WeAreTwoDoorsDown I must have misread your original comment, and I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. As for the grammar bit, congratulations, you're one of the few. It was my mistake, and I apologize.
@WeAreTwoDoorsDown Did you use the right ammo, check to see that the barrel wasn't plugged, make sure the slide was in place, make sure that the gun fed the shell all the way.
@TheLeadspreader Yeah... everything was fine... it just failed to fully chamber the round. So when it fired, the round was partly out of the chamber. And with no barrel to brace the casing, BOOM!
Hi, lefty here! Can anyone recommend a good subcompact, ambidextrous, semi-auto pistol? All i'm getting on the internet is this one and the Charter Arms one. Great review! Thanks!
Lol, I love how he thinks it not a good self defense gun partly in the fact it is a .22 LR. Many agency's, including our own, use these guns for target assassinations. This gun can kill just as easily than any other. Why do you need a .45 ACP for self defense. It will blow a hole through your target, into the next house, and kill your neighbor.
@mrgunandrun , 9mm's are NOT too much for 12 year olds. The first gun I EVER shot was when I was 9yrs old. It was a 9mm Glock 17 Gen.4. It does have quite a bit of kick, but not enough to hit you in the head, no matter how old you are. The recoil is no problem. But, if your indoors, the sound of the gun, even with the earplugs in, are loud enough to make your nose and forehead vibrate.
heh I had the same problem within a few week of owning it (brand new) I shipped mine back to Walther tho its been going for 4 yrs now since then no problems took a little longer but it works now alot better then my sister-in-laws' who got hers at the same time same store. Carter Shooting Supplies is a great store to go to if your in Chattanooga. also I find no problem getting good groups farther down range, but then again its been my main plinker for the last 4 to 5 yrs. + it matches my p99.

I'm interested to see if Nutn has any experience with, or opinion about, the SP22 M2, Walther's 6" barrel gun, designed specifically for target shooting. I'd be very interested in a "table top" review of that model, as I'm considering purchasing it.
@13heavymetal Lets be REALLY real here. His job takes him into some of the worst neighborhoods in America on a regular basis. What you don't know about Nutn could fill a book. So much for what YOU think. -- Veri
I just bought one for a fishing gun I don't liek carrying my .40 when I am fishing and on the move up and down river.. the gun fit my hand well for a small frame but it's perfect for it's purpose
Just went to buy my first gun today and I really liked the look of the P22. They actually had a super cool digi camo version of the P22 at the shop, but holding it, I realized how TINY this gun is. I have small hands for a bloke, but this was too small for me. So be warned. I eventually bought a used Ruger Mk2. Thanks for the review though.
A Beretta Neos at $249 for standard 6" barrel is a really good choice for range and target use. I just finished my first 1,000 rds and did not have a single failure of any kind. Shoots cheap ammo, under 3 cents per rnd.
Just wanted to update my P22. About 500 rounds and no issues. A couple of Failure to feeds, but it might be the cheap ammo. My wife is ready to step up in caliber, but this has been a fun and great purchase. I can't get it away from my wife at the range. Only complaint is that it seems almost fragile. A Model 17 or Ruger is supreme quality, but this gun wins in the fun factor. The P22 will get alot of range time.
Bought this for my wife. She LOVES it, and it's been a good trainer. About 500 rounds so far... so good. Having a good time with and plan to shoot it too pieces...
Hell man you can get a junk phoenix arms 22 or 25 and hit your target every time. Why it's a small pistol. At 15 yd. I have 10 people here at my pistol club.sorry man you got us all lrao,Rolling big time. PZ man if you don't know what your talking about.Pz don't talk about it. For a 22 walther is one of the best in the world just like their 38cal. I see you just like being on y/t..God bless.
Wife found the Model 17 S+W easy to shoot but heavy. The Ruger Mark 3 was great but heavy and single purpose. As a trainer/plinker for a future CCW choice. Love the laser that came with it, and within 15 yards is accurate enough and a blast to shoot. No issues. Love .22 because it is not intimidating for my new shooter wife and is a lot of cheap trigger time. I didn't blink at the cost because we will shoot it tons... Doesn't compare in quality to Rugers or S+W but makes up for it in FUN.
Awesome video. I just go the new P22Q series. Walther redesigned the P22 and the new P22 just came out yesterday. Check out my video to see the Walther P22Q
The first time i shot my P22 i was hitting cigarette packs at 25 yards with ease, and the only other handguns i have owned/shot are a CZ 52 and Beretta 92fs. That being said, keep up the good reviews and shooting vids nutn, love your stuff!
After a few years and a few thousands rounds through my p22. It's still a performer when fed good quality .22lr ammo, like the CCI ammo. The interchangeable front sight has a slight tendency to come off on its own now though.
Will you do please a review on the Walther PK380?? I am a woman who is considering it for conceal carry and I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on it.... Thanks!
hey nutn, would like to see a tabletop of the walther p22's main competitor, The sig sauer mosquito. being as you are big sig fan, I think you will really dig ergos being as that its 90% the size of a p226
Dude, You have no idea what you're talking about! I have had mine for a couple years now and it is very accurate! I have never had any problems with my P22 either. I think the Walther P22 is a great gun for plinking. I do agree I wouldn't use it for personal defense, but all in all it's a great little gun!
Great gun. I own one. Used white grease on the slides and noticed the slide was "sticky" when you try to rack it with a new magazine. So now I use Ballistol Lubricant for the whole gun especially the slide. Fun gun, no jams. I use cci 40grain fmj. Buy one if you get the chance. Don't go to bass pro shop. They are crazy! They were selling this gun for 625$. You could get it new for 300$. I bought mine without the external trigger lock. Ill do a video soon. Peace.
People really underestimate the 22LR ... the way it bounces off bones it really tears up your insides and takes a veryyy skilled doctor to save you ...
@CrypticNexus777 He didn't rip on the 22LR caliber he just pointed out the fact this particular gun has mechanical issues. And you know nothing about ballistics. Bullets won't bounce around your insides off bone. The bullet will expand or tumble then stop or over penetrate you watch to many cartoons.
I plan on grabbing a P22 in a year when I turn 21. My hands are small enough the gun fits me like a glove, want something mostly for entertainment, and the Ruger can't touch it aesthetically, IMO ;)
i have had one of these for well over a year and have fired well over a thousand rounds of random ammo and had no failures at all. no jams, no ftf's. nothing.
i use mine incase i ever have to put down a rabid pop can and make it a example to its friends......lol ,also and i have noticed the same problem with it jaming because of cheaper ammo.
I just got this gun today as a Christmas gift. It started out shooting low, I changed to the #2 front sight and put two shots through the same hole in the bulls eye at around 10 yards. I am pleased with the accuracy. I did have one failure to feed. It was cheap ammo and I may not have been holding it tight enough. It should be a good plinking gun, I hope I stay as happy with it as I am now.
@marlo916 Well my dad was asking me what kind of gun I would like for target shooting. My brother was in competitions down here at fairs and such and they used .22 rifles so he did end up getting me the p22 just for getting a feel for the power of the gun. It's a really neat little gun, I can hit a tin can on a fence post from about 7 yards with it. Getting better!
hey man good video i was very worried about buying this gun after watching many reviews but my wife really wanted it. we took it out to see how it holds up and we live in the desert 29 palms and it happen to b a small sand storm that day but the gun held up really well, shot like crazy and no jams, miss fires, or feeding problems, i guess they corrected the problems, im very impressed with this gun
I bought my p22 about 5 months ago and have put at least 800 rounds through it and havent had any problems. I use your average federal brick ammo and it shoots great. As goes with any .22 it gets real dirty after use, good cleaning and lube and it shoots fantastic.
I'm a centimeter away from taking off the selectors, grinding the selector bar, and epoxying the holes. I'm very close. I am just very frustrated by the original design.
I have also removed the magazine safety and its two springs because after posting here I realized they were also unnecessary. There are a number of parts in this gun that are not needed, are one is better off without them.
The p22 was designed by an Austrian (I forget his name) and my theory is that the Walther people made him put all this crap into the p22.
Despite weaknesses, the P22 is compact, threaded, and can have upgraded capacity.
I've had one exactly like this for about 2 years. It was a newly made model, not one of the first few years manufacture, so most of the "bugs" got worked out. I really like it and find it to be reasonably accurate for what it is. I've been using wal-mart Federal bulk .22 with no problems until you get to about 500 rounds per shooting session. Then it needs slide/barrel removal with a complete scrub down.
I will also add that I removed the internal trigger safety, along with the associated springs. I think such things are pathetic.
I also left out the spring for the bolt (slide) stop lever as it is not unnecessary and I don't like unnecessary things.
I also increased the mag capacity by cutting the follower. Leave the metal mag pin because you need it for feeding, as well as the bolt hold back mechanism.
I got my P22 from the factory in parts (don't ask, another story), so I assembled it from a 100% field strip. I repeat, 100% strip.
I was swearing and screaming in a homicidal rage for days before getting it together. I dont like the Zinc slide. I also don't know what I'm going to do with the p22.
The only real weapons are the rugged ones. Glock, Russian Weapons, AUG, Tavor, etc.
If you like the M16, SA80, -possibly the P22 I don't know yet-, or 1911, then you're a (pussy)
i had a p22 .. and i thought because i payed 375$ 4 it it would be as accurate as a ruger.not at all.i couldn't hit shit.. it jammed ..and i did not like the way it shot.so i took it back to gun shop about 4 days later and sold it 50$ cheaper....what junk
I have fallen in love with my Walther P22. I havent had any troubles with ammo, or jammin yet, and I am using remington 22LR hollow points. I enjoy it is a first handgun, ammo is extremely cheap, and highly accurate for in the range.
You know what ? I have the CO2 .177 version of this gun and the quality and workmanship that went into a air pistol is top notch all the way.I wish the Airgun industry would take a que from Walthers.BTW.I have the real ones as well. NUTnFANCY.......................YOU ROCK !
Any chance of a Walther P99 QA or SA review on here? Maybe you can borrow Sootch's P99? I like longer in depth reviews. THANKS MAN KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
@michealati He tries to stay away from discussing prices because there is so much fluctuation between retailers and so many price changes over the years.
one of my favorite pistols of all time.My favorite .22 pistol....followed very closly by the ruger but the ruger is more of a target pistol i find the p22 to be more of an all rnd fun pistol
Hmm the P22 looks similar to my P99 but has almost nothin common with it, except the mag release (im not into the stuff but maybe its the 2nd gen or somethin like that) because my P99 has a longer slide release and the safety is on the upside (u can push it as a button)
nutnfancy! great vids, lots of good info. im still having a hard time trying to choose between the p22 and a ruger mkIII. at this point im leaning toward the MKIII only because the out the door price at my local gun store is what the P22 is going for before tax. should price in this category be the deciding factor? can anyone else provide any input?
I got this gun...it's a lot of fun...light, easy to shoot, almost no recoil, accurate...I've put like thousands of rounds through it...CCI minimags are the best...almost no jams...
This pistol is so much fun. I've put about 5000 rounds through it. It's very finicky with it's ammo selection. keep it clean, and you'll have a lot of fun with it.
thank you for your post of the walther p22 have been thinking about getting one for my wife for a target pistol you video has helped me with my decision i am going to go get it monday i hope
my dad was looking at this didnt really know the brand so hes gunna probably buy a ruger stainless steel mark iii and i live in spokane my family has a house out by the border and its fun to shoot our 22. long rifle and my dads colt 45. anaconda
Would you recommend this pistol as a starter gun for somebody who would like to get into target shooting? I don't have enough money for the 1911's. At the very most I can spend $450 for every thing including shipping.
@TimToddler Dont pay for shipping, just go to your local gun store. Chances are they have a P22 in stock. I got mine fore $330 lightly used. The target model is about $50 more.
@TimToddler Dont pay for shipping, just go to your local gun store. Chances are they have a P22 in stock. I got mine fore $330 lightly used. The target model is about $50 more. CCI ammo is my favorite
@etucker5007 Larry's Pistol and Pawn is selling them for 269$. Not sure how Larry's sells their guns so cheap, but, I guess thats why they are Ruger's #1 dealer, and like S&W's number 2 dealer.
@etucker5007 /watch?v=nEFW3hGkyYU&playnext=1&videos=1hUaTDe6lwM , this is the commercial they had on youtube and up till 2 weeks ago that sale was still running. 329 or 269 its still a fun little pistol!
I like the gun, Have one myself and shot a couple different brands of 22 longs through it and does well so far. Seems like the higher f.p.s. the better though.
Why in the world is this gun on the Chicago Unsafe weapons roster. Of course there should not be a list at all. I just bought one love the little gun so far.
I like the looks, but am worried about the durability. I might have to check on out as a fun .22 to practice with when I am not using my main conceal carry gun.
Jesus, these new semi-auto handguns are UGLY. Whatever happened to sleek design like the original Walther PP, or anything from Beretta? Are ALL handguns based on the homely glock building block design?

Dude, You have no idea what you're talking about! I have had mine for a couple years now and it is very accurate! I have never had any problems with my P22 either. I think the Walther P22 is a great gun for plinking. I do agree I wouldn't use it for personal defense, but all in all it's a great little gun!
tempocrazed 11 months ago
Great gun. I own one. Used white grease on the slides and noticed the slide was "sticky" when you try to rack it with a new magazine. So now I use Ballistol Lubricant for the whole gun especially the slide. Fun gun, no jams. I use cci 40grain fmj. Buy one if you get the chance. Don't go to bass pro shop. They are crazy! They were selling this gun for 625$. You could get it new for 300$. I bought mine without the external trigger lock. Ill do a video soon. Peace.

@CrypticNexus777 He didn't rip on the 22LR caliber he just pointed out the fact this particular gun has mechanical issues. And you know nothing about ballistics. Bullets won't bounce around your insides off bone. The bullet will expand or tumble then stop or over penetrate you watch to many cartoons.

I just got this gun today as a Christmas gift. It started out shooting low, I changed to the #2 front sight and put two shots through the same hole in the bulls eye at around 10 yards. I am pleased with the accuracy. I did have one failure to feed. It was cheap ammo and I may not have been holding it tight enough. It should be a good plinking gun, I hope I stay as happy with it as I am now.

It's a really neat little gun, I can hit a tin can on a fence post from about 7 yards with it. Getting better!

I bought my p22 about 5 months ago and have put at least 800 rounds through it and havent had any problems. I use your average federal brick ammo and it shoots great. As goes with any .22 it gets real dirty after use, good cleaning and lube and it shoots fantastic.

Update:
I have also removed the magazine safety and its two springs because after posting here I realized they were also unnecessary. There are a number of parts in this gun that are not needed, are one is better off without them.
The p22 was designed by an Austrian (I forget his name) and my theory is that the Walther people made him put all this crap into the p22.
Despite weaknesses, the P22 is compact, threaded, and can have upgraded capacity.
Better than others I can think of.
762full 1 year ago
I've had one exactly like this for about 2 years. It was a newly made model, not one of the first few years manufacture, so most of the "bugs" got worked out. I really like it and find it to be reasonably accurate for what it is. I've been using wal-mart Federal bulk .22 with no problems until you get to about 500 rounds per shooting session. Then it needs slide/barrel removal with a complete scrub down.
Lockbar 1 year ago
I will also add that I removed the internal trigger safety, along with the associated springs. I think such things are pathetic.
I also left out the spring for the bolt (slide) stop lever as it is not unnecessary and I don't like unnecessary things.
I also increased the mag capacity by cutting the follower. Leave the metal mag pin because you need it for feeding, as well as the bolt hold back mechanism.
And one more thing.
Nutnfancy, I dare you to 100% strip your P22.
I seriously dare you.
762full 1 year ago
I got my P22 from the factory in parts (don't ask, another story), so I assembled it from a 100% field strip. I repeat, 100% strip.
I was swearing and screaming in a homicidal rage for days before getting it together. I dont like the Zinc slide. I also don't know what I'm going to do with the p22.
The only real weapons are the rugged ones. Glock, Russian Weapons, AUG, Tavor, etc.
If you like the M16, SA80, -possibly the P22 I don't know yet-, or 1911, then you're a (pussy)

Hmm the P22 looks similar to my P99 but has almost nothin common with it, except the mag release (im not into the stuff but maybe its the 2nd gen or somethin like that) because my P99 has a longer slide release and the safety is on the upside (u can push it as a button)

Inaccurate but fun pistols. Nutnfancy is right: go with a Ruger or Browning for your first (or only) .22 handgun.
However, if your defensive handgun is a Walther P99, then it may make sense to get a P22 as a cheap trainer.
