i saw this walther p22 for sale at the range today. apparently, it’s so new, it doesn’t even appear on the walther website.
hmmm, it’s pink, it’s a .22, it’s distributed by smith & wesson – i want one.

I just purchased this gun and love it! It is light and extremely accurate. I had nice groupings right out of the box!

i found that it’s a bit too light for me, and have a bit of a control issue. i’m getting better the longer i practice with it, but i have a ways to go. i also find that it’s a bit picky about the ammo i feed it. it does great with the cci mini-mag, but everything else so far results in a failure to cycle every 10 or 20 rounds.

you may have machine marks on the barrel ramp, try using a fine fingernail file to remove the melonite coating and smooth the ramp – you are only trying to smooth things out, not remove metal. Also dissassemble and clean your magazine, sometimes new mag springs are needed. Finally, make sure your firearm is properly lubricated. I hope this helps.

i’ll definitely give that a try, sean. thanks. the magazines, like the gun, are pretty new. but i’ll give them a cleaning just to be sure.

I’ve had the same problem, Nexy. My wife owns a p22 (not pink, though), and we have only been able to use CCI ammo in it. Most other types/brands end up giving us trouble (jamming, not loading, etc.). We’ve owned ours for around three years and still have trouble with it when we try to use ammo other than CCI.
Sean, thanks for the tip on trying to smooth out the ramp. I haven’t tried that, but may now.

The manual says use only quality ammo. I used Wal-mart cheap ammo and had the same dud every 20 rounds. A local Gunsmith told me that the low quality ammo doesn’t have enough power to reset the firing pin which causes the dud.

I bought a P22 a few days ago, but just a ordinary black one, however it´s accurate and works very well. This pink thing really looks fantastic, love it!

I have a pink Sig Sauer 22, its the same way also and only like CCI. Its a very finicky gun when it comes to ammo but I absolutely love it and how it handles and feels.
