Shooting Walther P22: "Range Session" by Nutnfancy

Shooting review of the fun Walther P22 .22 semi-auto pistol. The P22 generally requires good ammo for function and as such we used CCI Mini Mag solids and they functioned 100% in the test. Other brands/types may not. But the gun proved adequately accurate, lightweight (17.2 oz), ergonomic for smaller hands (especially for women and kids), easy to load, and fun to shoot. Like all smaller pistols, it is hard to shoot accurately from unsupported positions. Also the sights are too coarse for high accuracy shooting (especially against indistinct targets) and the higher contrast target circles shown in the video helped achieve tighter groups. More details in the table top review of the P22. Overall it is a fun little plinker that can also serve as a close-range trainer for both new and experienced shooters. ////////////////////Nutnfancy Likeability Scale: 7.5 out of 10

Just wanted to say thanks man for all you do-- Keep up the good work

[nutnfancy]

@TheGarry91 Thanks, man. I appreciate the support.

[cartoonconn]

Which would you recommend: The Walther p22 or the Ruger Mark III?

[999bosse]

@cartoonconn

personally as far as reliability is concerned i would recommend a mark III or 22/45 my buddy has had one for years with well over 5000 rds through it and it will eat ANYTHING, that bieng said i have havent had enough range time with a p22 to be too judgemental but the others speak for them selves.

@ryanberger871 Run good ammo and make sure it is totally reliable and yes it will be fine.

Favorite plinking pistol... put thousands of bulk ammo rounds through it but one day.... it decided it only liked CCI... Ive cleaned and lubed it but it only likes CCI's now my gun dealer buddy said "maybe it is past the life expectancy of a P22 haha" I refuse to give up I love plinking with this pistol...

Cool. Dude, the muzzle flash was like in the movies. Really fun in a .22, I bet.

@wearetwodoorsdown

Maybe the ammo you were using was loaded too hot. That's usually what happens when a gun blows up like that. Example, using a 9mm round in a pistol chambered for 380 acoustic. I would contact who ever you got the ammunition from and complain or tell them to complain to the ammo manufacturer.

[ryanberger871]

Would this weapon be sufficient to carry concealed? I bought on for my wife in pink digital camp lol and now I want one. My chl will be active in a few weeks and I have been looking into just getting one for me. This or the bersa 380 concealed carry. I would really love it if this weapon would be sufficient. Let me know your thoughts nutn, please.

Thanks a bunch,

RB

keep doing what you do. :)
