Its a great gun. My only complaint is i don't like the factory front sight.
trust me, get one. they are great pistols!
what ammo are you using in the P22?I also just recently picked up my first gun. S&W M&P9 so far i have put almost 450 rounds (cheapest ammo i could find) threw it without a hitch. I love it. I also picked the wife up a Walther P22 just for fun and that damn gun is a pos. Bought it brand new and almost every round has problems feeding or ejecting. The 2 biggest problems that i have found is the feed ramp that loads the bullet into the barrel dose not go all the way to the barrel and the second being that the slide comes into to much contact with the hammer making the slide to heavy for a little 22 bullet to blast the all the way back after each shot. All in all its just a poorly designed gun. Wish i would have got the Walther Pk380 for her instead.......
i know its dirty lol have not got around to cleaning since we last shot it.

Mark, you CANNOT go wrong with an M&P from a quality standpoint. They're just simply great pistols. You just need to determine if it's comfortable for you to shoot or not.
That feed ramp should not cause issues with rounds feeding. Below is a picture of a "feed ramp" on a Saiga (AK type rifle). Look at how prominent that "feed ramp" is. Granted, it's hard to compare a centerfire rifle to a rimfire pistol, but you get the idea. I would probably just send it back to Walther to be worked on. There should be some kind of factory warranty, and you don't want to void that by trying to fix the issue yourself.
I understand what you mean but you also have to think of the shape of that ak bullet. That alone will help it get past that gap. Only reason i say that the gap on mine is part of the problem is because i have seen the casing get lodged on it when the gun is trying to chamber a round. It mostly only happens on the first and last round in the mag. So it could also be a mixture of poor mag design as well. This is not just the wifes p22 that has this problem. Alot of p22 owners have the same issues with this gun.That feed ramp should not cause issues with rounds feeding. Below is a picture of a "feed ramp" on a Saiga (AK type rifle).

funny how the gunsmiths question gets ignored
idk ive heard nothing but great things about this gun. so idk how its mostly for show. because its a .22?
Sorry i must have missed this. I use CCW for the .22 what mods did you have in mind?
try federal ammo. the wax on CCI clogs up many 22's.
CCI used to be great ammo... its gone downhill over the past two years.
Most definitely. And I want something that is comfortable to carry if I ever decide to
Im using tapa-talk on my phone lol it dont show avatars and stuff. Thars badass tho man! Id love to get into something like that but dont know the first thing on how to try to get into gun smithing. I do not think there is a school close to me that offers anything like that.
the compact ones are quite nice! i want a compact one in 357sig with thumb safety and night sights
No, because it's a flashy .22. Don't get me wrong, it's a very great performing .22. But to me, a .22 is for plinking, and $450 on a gun just for plinking is too much for my blood.
I was actually deciding between a 1911 and an M&P45. A friend of mine, one that knows guns quite well, suggested that in case I ever have to carry, I wouldn't want to have that "plastic tumor" on my hip, I would want a real gun. There's a reason why the 1911 has not only been around, but also been in service for just over 100 years now. Don't get me wrong, other guns can be more practical. A standard size M&P will have a higher capacity, but I believe it's also wider. There's also some kind of inexplicable allure to a 1911. My SR9 is actually more practical...it's lighter, and has twice the capacity, but there's something about the 1911 that I like much more.
I use an index finger safety on all my gunsthe compact ones are quite nice! i want a compact one in 357sig with thumb safety and night sights
