  • I picked up a Walter P22Q .22 LR pistol on a Black Friday sale and today I shoot six different types of ammo through it to test the reliability of this "cheap" pistol.

    Any .22 that shoots that many types of ammo without malfunctions has to be a winner and especially at that price. Nice video.

      @richmondcomputercompanyinc8054 I'm not aware of extended mags but there are companies like TandemKross and Taylor Tactical that make kits to expand your current mags.

    I've had one of these for about 20 years. The reason the slide doesn't always go home when chambering a round from a fresh magazine is because if you slap the magazine into the pistol, the top round tilts up a little and won't always feed. What I do is be sure to push the top round down a bit before releasing the slide. It is a great little pistol.

    • @2TrackMind-c6i
      @2TrackMind-c6i หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      This was my finding during testing, also. No lightweight pistol requires a slap to seat the mag. Just a simple push will do. Slapping the mag is a holdover from WW2 training with the M1-carbine and Colt 1911. Even with those, it's preferable to just seat it with the thumb. The military assumes that weapon will be worn out or destroyed in combat. We don't need to think that way.

    • @2TrackMind-c6i
      @2TrackMind-c6i หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@raygarza6231 It's a good practice to learn. The .22 cartridge is a very cheaply made item, and rather delicate. Best not to increase the chances of damaging the one you might need. I keep my M&P .22 as a backup defense gun, and fully chambered - on Safe - at all times, so that first round is already in the pipe.
      The problem is that it is possible to deform the brass on any cartridge by slamming the mag home. If your chamber is a bit dirty from previous rounds, a deformation of just a few .000" inch can force a failure to feed. The chamber on all guns is bored to provide enough extra diameter to allow for the expansion moment that the brass experiences. That room makes it loose enough to extract normally. If the brass is force into the chamber , being say.004" out of round, the expansion may force the wider diameter to stick, either going in or coming out.
      I'm of the opinion after 40 years of shooting and reloading, that this is one of the overlooked issues with having the first round fail to feed upon release of the slide.

  • @jeremyf8160
    @jeremyf8160 หลายเดือนก่อน +22

    My wife got one of these but accidently ordered the P22 CA version. It worked okay for a while with Remington Golden Bullet, but then it developed problems with extraction and also light strikes in double action. I had sent it back to Walther twice with minimal improvement. I then bought an aftermarket extractor and took it to my gunsmith. He installed the new extractor/spring, polished the hammer, and contoured the mag follower to reduce slide and extraction drag. It now runs everything just fine. Not a huge fan of the p22 but my wife loves it and it eats everything like a champ

    I have the first gen p22. It still shoots great after 2000 plus rounds of armscor high velocity. One time, a friend brought along a suppressor that was made by Walther. It worked well on remington high velocity ammo which my friend claimed to be subsonic.
    I never dry fire this pistol and I am not fond of rapid fire or mag dumping.
    An aquaintance of mine practices a lot of rapid firing with his p22 using stingers. A crack on the slide eventually appeared on his pistol. He was able to acquire a new slide but he has stopped mag dumping his p22. Great video Mixup!!

    The Walther P22Q has always intrigued me as a fun plinking option, especially for its price point. It's good to see how it handles different ammo types-reliability can be hit or miss with .22 pistols, but it's impressive when a budget-friendly option performs well.

    I purchased the P99 final edition, Walther. It is the exact same color scheme but doesn't have a safety. It is DA/SA with an amazing single action trigger and short reset trigger. I personally love the paddle magazine release. Takes a little bit to get used to, but it will break in with use.
    I needed to add grip tape due to the polymer body being slick to me. I think you'll enjoy that pistol.

Both are blowback so extractors are not super important.

My S&W Victory has been a great 22lr pistol, functioning perfectly the whole time I’ve owned it. There’s something really fun about shooting 22lr pistols, and it doesn’t hurt the wallet too much either. I hope you & your family are doing well, and thanks for another great video!

Found an old video on how to remove the spring on the disconnect now no problems. The magazine release to me is like the KelT P17s. Since I have short fingers I like em. Great little gun.

    I have one of the originals, and it has always had a suppressor on it.
    I have heard folks saying the gun had reliability issues, but my particular one runs great with the can on it, which gives it a little more gas feeding back to the slide, which helps the function. About the only thing mine will not feed is the Colibri primer cartridges and the rat-shot rounds.
    Everything else I have tried, cycles with no issues.

I don’t think he’s fired either very much but he never conveyed having trouble with them. I’d like to get one of those or a S&W M&Pc .22. Anyway, I appreciate the review of this pistol. Incidentally, my TX22 had a few failures to feed despite cleaning and lube prior to shooting. But after 100 rounds or so, it now runs like a well oiled machine.

    I bought one second hand and lightly used many years ago (about 20 years or so). It has been a lot of fun and let me train several people. It let me arm relatives who, for one reason or another had recoil sensitivity or hand strength issues. A suggestion, if I may: Every now and then, especially if you notice sudden reliability issues, check the thread protector on the muzzle and the screw that goes under where the frame covers the barrel/barrel shroud. If I keep mine tight (wound up using lock-tite on the frame screw) reliability is near 100%. Let that frame screw get just a little loose and it can get really annoying.
    I really enjoy mine. Like a mini P99 (sort of).

No luck on hollow points.....I saw the video you had regarding the Security Six models. My first one was I believe 1976 and then the 6 inch stainless around 85. I just turned 72 and let's say the eyes aren't what the used to be at the range. I still like iron sites. I guess I am too old to change.....funny now it seems my left eye is clearer than my right eye...you take about an adjustment at the range. I still both pistols and they are great.

    I own this exact gun. One thing that isn't so great about it is the mag release. You just can't drop the mag clean because the palm of you hand will always be in the way. One thing that I found though is if you change back strap it will be a little easier to take out and it will pop out a little cleaner. That and you won't notice any difference in the feel of the gun between the two back straps. So if you like the feel of the gun with the factory installed small back strap don't fear putting in the larger one.

    I have one, same color. Feels great in the hand. Oddly my magazine release is light, very positive and inherently ambidextrous. Nice that the barrel is threaded but they failed to include an extender to actually thread my suppressor onto. The Taurus TX has this option as does the KelTec P17. The biggest downfall is disassembly for cleaning.. the lack of a captured return spring is annoying as hell. The Ruger SR 22 is a rip off of it and as usual, the Ruger rip off is slightly improved.. It's a little less picky about ammo, has a standard push button magazine release and an aftermarket captured return spring make cleaning a lot easier. These .22 semi auto pistols make good gifts to people interested in getting into the shooting sport. They're cheap, simple, easy to learn on, accurate enough to develop good habits and pretty forgiving mechanically.

    Brother had one, got it roughly 2005, it was common to drop half a brick at a time when we shot it and we shot it a lot. It was always on the kitchen table and being the local party house, everybody shot that thing. It was wore out when he sent it in to get repaired, got everything except the frame replaced, for free because it was still under warranty. When I ordered one, something went wrong and I accidentally ordered a PDQ. Nice gun, but I miss the P22 and always wanted one of those ugly G22's.

    It's a "European Style" mag release, which I find to be more intuitive than the traditional style. Had two of the original P-22s (traded the first for the second). I carried the second as my CCW for a while. 22lr is controllable and, if placed properly, will stop any opponent.

    • @ScottWiecenski

      When I think "European style" mag release, I tend to think of heel clip mag releases. I think the paddle style mag release is unique to H&K and Walther.

  • @2TrackMind-c6i
    @2TrackMind-c6i หลายเดือนก่อน

    This isa new video, so I'm not sure if my experience applies, but....
    Five years ago, I rented EVERY one of the Top % .22's at the time. I out 1000 rounds through each pistol, from most of the usual makers. My method was to shoot as fast as I could re-load, my son doing the mag loads. All the guns got hot and dirty. Here's what I found:
    1)ALL of the guns failed in some way, mostly due to ammo quality control - even from the best ammo, CCI Mini-Mags. Secondarily from fouling.
    2)The fewest malfunctions were derived from the Smith & Wesson M&P .22 Compact.
    3) All squibs and malfunctions were separated into two types, A) Squib loads and B) mechanical malfunctions that could be attributed to the weapon, i.e., fouling over the course of fire.
    4) Squibs were disassembled, and the loadings were inspected. Some had no powder, low powder, or no primer or partial primer. Some had loose bullet seating, which caused failure to feed. Again, CCI had the fewest defects. Rem Golden Bullet the most.
    Gun Findings:
    While all of the Top 5 were very good and reliable with good ammo, the M&P .22 Compact outperformed the others when run very fouled. That's why I bought one. Today, 5 years on, I have never had a malfunction when running CCI except when the rare defective round go in the chamber. I do not always carefully plink at animal crackers. I often practice defensive quick fire and the gun does heat up and gets very dirty. Typical failure of the CCI cartridge is lack of primer. They just don't go off, but it is exceedingly rare compared to other brands.
    NOTE: I did not use up-scale "precision" comp ammo. Just the off the shelf stuff that we buy .22's for.

The slide wouldn't move...I guess I looked like an "experienced" gun guy or something..Anyway, examining the slide, there was a crack in it can't remember exactly where, but it WAS near the ejection port...Gun was trashed..I did a little Googling and found that the Walther semi-auto pistols in .22 LR had slides made of pot metal and many people were having cracked slides.....?????
