Walther p22

[Guest Big-A]

Picking one up a p22 to hold on a loan i gave a coworker. Anyone tried anything besides cci through em and had luck ?. I was always told the only thing they will shoot is cci. He said its only had 300 rds through the gun and dont remember what kind.

Mine feeds about anything, but then it has polished feedramp, well lubed and run wet, and over 5000 rounds through it.

I strip, clean, & lube it thoroughly at the end of every 550 bulk pack (otherwise spray & wipe with Rem Oil). My record is 700+ rounds in one session before it started acting up in need of cleaning.

BTW..they are sensitive to limpwristing with cheap ammo (all I use). When I shoot it, I get 1-2 FTFeed or FTEject / 550. Some buddies get 1-2 per mag until I explain to them "Grip it right!".

It is a great little pistol.

I run Federal 36 gr HP bulk through mine. No problems.

I have never used anything but CCI in my wife's P-22. It have never had any problems.

I have been pleased with the Aquilla 60gr, no FTF/FTE issues out of my wife's P22 (recently sold to upgrade her to a G17)

Mine's always been picky. Polishied feedramp etc. I like the Winchester M22 ammo. Works great.
