Thankfully, replacing the mags on this weapon won’t set you back too much. The magazines included with the P22 aren’t that impressive, and although they’re made of metal, these appear to be paper-thin.Īnyone planning on using this weapon a lot, either for self defense or training, will want to upgrade. The looks and size combined earn it a place on the best handgun for women’s self-defense lists all the time. It comes in a range of colors, has a black polymer frame, and is small enough to be cradled in both of your hands. In a self-defense situation, you want everything to be as easy to use as possible so that all you have to focus on is hitting your target, and the P22 California from Walther assures that.Īnother bonus of the P22 is its appearance, easily ranking as the most visually appealing 22 LR out there. This rimfire pistol has a low recoil rate so it’s a dream to operate and gentle for those who might not feel as confident with a firearm. You can easily reach all parts, including the magazine, trigger, and slide, without having to reach too far or fumble. The width of the gun is quite small at just 1.1 inches so you can get a good grip on it with both hands. But with the CCI ammo, that will probably fix most issues for this pistol.The P22 comes with a double-action and single-action trigger, as well as an adjustable rear sight for absolute accuracy.Īccording to happy customers, the best thing about the P22 California is its comfort and size, for both concealed carry and use. I'll have to do that as well, since I don't use them a lot. Good point made on storing them with the slide back. Now that I've spent some time with them, they fire fine. Plus, these are great little pistols now for each of my daughters to use. 1) got the first one without doing my research 2) got the second one used dirt cheap 3) I liked the walther name and the feel of the gun. There's a lot less friction now when it cycles which further addresses the FTF/FTE issues.Īnd the obvious elephant in the room, why didn't I get another gun. I also took maybe 1/16th off the top corner of the hammer. Not sure if it's a design flaw or whatever, in the fire position, i used dremel to grind the exposed part of that rod somewhat flatter so it's smooth on the slide. If you pull the slide back, you'll notice that this rod slides over and has friction as it goes over the hammer.
WALTHER P22 SAFETY POSITION MOD
The only other mod I did was I grinded down the steel rod that holds the safety. I am NOT a gunsmith, so I probably didn't even take enough off to make a difference, but the polishing part is important. If you are going to mod that feed ramp, take a tiny (super tiny) amount off and polish it with dremel polisher and some polishing compound.
WALTHER P22 SAFETY POSITION MODS
Thus, the common mods for this pistol are: 1) CCI ammo (mini mags, stinger or velocitors) 2) Volquartsen ejector (aftermarket but works way better, about $20 and easy DIY install) 3) i used a dremel (very very carefully) and sanded/polished the feed ramp so it was smoother going into the bore/chamber and 4) smoothed out the safety pin rod I joined a Walther forum and learned about the common FTF/FTE issues on there and it was mostly related to ammo.
