VERY HELPFULL! I have had a p22q for about 6 months and will almost certainly get the target barrel. I just got the ccp in both 9mm and .380 and I like them ALMOST as much as the .22, so your comparisons to the those and other Walthers were GREATLY appreciated. I have been debating on the laser so, again, I really appreciate this review. I am wondering what the laser looks like on the ccw and weather it would swap over well so if you can show that I would be very grateful, especially if you also have the longer barrel to show at the same time. Thanks VERY much!

@mickmacstabletopreviews8466 2 жыл бұрын

As for the Walther P22Q laser, it is specifically designed for the P22Q. I installed the HiLight P3GL laser and tactical light combo ($60) on my CCW, but there are slim laser only solutions available out there if that's your interest. Viridian makes one specifically for the CCW for about $130. See viridianweapontech.com/e-walther-ccp Thanks for watching and thanks for the positive comment.

Just went to my local gun shop & they said this P22Q isn't reliable at gun range or can be but will need consistent cleaning. Have you any experience with this? First time going for a firearm, so I'd like personal experience, thanks!

@eriklundquist1657 Жыл бұрын

@@dbzownz12345 Mine took about 75 rounds to become 100% reliable with MANY different types of cheap AND expensive ammo. I was pretty upset until after the SHORT break-in period, I am loving it and two other Walthers now. .22 ammo is dirtier than almost if not all other ammo, so, any .22 should be cleaned more frequently. I believe all guns should be cleaned after every use for maximum life anyway. Also, Walther customer service was very good to me both times I called. Once about pricing on the target barrel and once about the used CCP that I bought and they sent me a free part that the previous owner wasn't careful with and damaged

What is the most accurate round for this gun, do you know? Thanks.

@mickmacstabletopreviews8466 3 жыл бұрын

I'm not sure about "accurate", but many would say the "best ammo" would be Federal Premium .22 LR Gold Medal Ammunition, Hornady .22 Magnum Rimfire Ammunition and CCI Mini Mag Ammunition. They are all considered very good. Personally, I like CCI because it's readily available in my area and I've had excellent results with it. Thanks for watching and thanks for the positive comment.

That's a good question. I've never really had a serious problem with buying on-line. However, I'll give you what I consider to be my top two sites. I usually check out Bud's Gun Shop at www.budsgunshop.com/search.php?q=Walther+P22&type= first. They have the Walther P22Q today at $379. They ship for free and have good prices and a great selection. I like their service and my FFL likes dealing with them. Next I would check Grab-A-Gun at grabagun.com/firearms/handguns/semi-automatic-handguns.html?manufacturer=Walther&p=2 where they have the P22Q at $349. Also, good prices and selection.

Hey buddy, great review.. I absolutely love my P22 I cannot get it to jam,misfire or fail to eject it’s just a great little pistol! The only problem I’m having is trying to get hold of the laser sight as I’m told it’s discontinued by Walther but it seems to be available in the states! I’m just wondering if you could help me getting hold of one for me? I’m in Ireland and I’d love one..

@mickmacstabletopreviews8466 3 жыл бұрын

Good to hear your P22 is running well. Sorry to hear you're having difficulties obtaining the laser sight for it. I see it available through Amazon and eBay, but I'm not sure if that helps you. There are also suppliers like Optics Planet that might be willing to ship one to you. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and thanks for the positive comment.

Where's the link to the lasers?

@mickmacstabletopreviews8466 6 ай бұрын

waltherarms.com/p22-laser-sight is the location for the laser for the Walther P22Q. However, you might want to check out alternatives systems such as the Votatu H8L-G Pistol Light Laser Combo, Rechargeable Compact Green Laser Sight / 800 Lumens Tactical Flashlight with Strobe Function from AMAZON. Just go to AMAZON and search for Picatinny Rail handgun lasers. What I like about the P22Q is that it has the Picatinny rail system, but doesn't lock you into the Walther laser. Personally, I prefer a laser/tactical light combo with rechargeable capabilities and you can usually find one for a fraction of the cost. Trust me on this. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

I've tried it on a few other Walthers, like the 9MM CCP (does not fit) and the 380 PK380 (Surprisingly it does fit perfectly) so you'll just need to try it out on other models.

This handgun has the reputation for being a "jam-o-matic", i.e.: failure to feed, failure to eject, AND suffers these problems even with high quality ammo. Mine is currently in the shop in Arkansas waiting for parts from Germany. After 1000+ rounds the ejector mechanism failed. On another point, and maybe this depends on the state, but extra magazines for this thing are $40.00 each! So if you like re-loading all day at the range the two mags that it ships with will give you hours of fun. Needless to say I am NOT very happy with this purchase. I can only recommend lots and lots of research before purchasing. Get out there and talk to real people who actually use the thing. Listen to their excuses. The critical question to ask is: would you want to rely on this gun in a self defense situation? (3 yards, 3 rounds, 3 seconds) Again, listen to their excuses.(gotta keep it clean, gotta use the "right" ammo etc.) Or my favorite ".22 isn't lethal" or "I carry a '9' for self defense". The question is: will it shoot reliably every time? If not, I would not waste money on this firearm.

@mickmacstabletopreviews8466 11 ай бұрын

Sorry to hear. I can't say that I share the jamming problem you describe. However, yes, magazines will cost about $40 each. Gunmag Warehouse best price is $35 for Walther P22Q mags.

Understood. Illinois, Minnesota and a couple of other states have laws intended to prevent the sale of "Saturday Night Special" type guns based on the melting point of their materials (800 to 1,000 degrees). Unfortunately, this also outlaws some really great reliable guns in those states. Thanks for watching and thanks for the positive comment. Don't forget to like, share and subscribe.

@mickmacstabletopreviews8466 2 жыл бұрын

Obviously, compared to my Browning Buckmarks or Ruger Mark IVs, the Walther P22Q isn’t in the same class, but I can see why the P22Q is so popular. As an inexpensive trainer pistol for a novice it works quite well and I haven’t had any problems with mine. However, there are certainly more reliable and better buys out there. For example, in my opinion the Taurus TX22 (Guns & Ammo’s 2019 Handgun of the Year) is a far better 22 "trainer pistol" overall for less money. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment.
