Here is a table top review of my Walter P22 pistol. Despite concerns years ago about reliability with this gun, Walther has fixed several problems and is now making a rock solid 22. At around 0 this pistol is a great firearm for CCW and also a great training pistol. I bring this gun to the range every time and fire it regularly to help keep my skills fresh. It takes standard 22lr bullets and has many safety features and is a ambidextrous pistol. It also has an accessory rail any tactical lights or lasers you want to add.
I was fortunate enough to get a PMR 30 on loan from Tactical Gun Review.com (TGR). This thing is a PURE joy to shoot! Aside from having what I believe is an acceptable magazine capacity (interject super big smile here), the pistol shot flawlessly with the two types of ammo I had on hand. The recoil was next to nothing and the fireball out the muzzle was exciting. The weight of the pistol was nearly nothing. I wore the PMR-30 in a holster on my hip for the better part of the day while roaming the countryside with the family. I almost never knew it was there because of the weight, or lack of. I may have to pick one of these up for myself down the road. NOTE: “The Gap” I referred to in the video got me thinking. So I looked in a couple of gun magazine publications and found a marketing photo for the PMR-30. The gun in the photo also had the gap. So maybe it’s supposed to be there, but why? The only reason I can think of is that there needs to be a little room for the slide to clear the frame under recoil. I suspect during recoil that the plastic frame is flexing and if there was a tight fit between frame and slide, the slide may hit the end of the frame. But this is only a guess. Never the less, I think it is a fun pistol. See www.TacticalGunReview.com for in depth user reviews on guns and optics.
The diminutive Walther P22 .22 pistol is a fun plinker and I consider it a good choice as a recreational pistol. Shooters with small hands will appreciate its ergonomics, easily accessed controls, ease of loading (both mags and slide racking), and smaller grip. Other upsides include tactical looks, more blast and recoil for a .22 makes it funner, versatile configurations (can swap out barrels easily), and light rail. But make sure you are realistic about the gun’s capabilities. While some …
Shooting review of the fun Walther P22 .22 semi-auto pistol. The P22 generally requires good ammo for function and as such we used CCI Mini Mag solids and they functioned 100% in the test. Other brands/types may not. But the gun proved adequately accurate, lightweight (17.2 oz), ergonomic for smaller hands (especially for women and kids), easy to load, and fun to shoot. Like all smaller pistols, it is hard to shoot accurately from unsupported positions. Also the sights are too coarse for …
Shooting a .22 pistol accurately at 100 yds? Yep and here’s proof. Here “TacticalDoodle” and myself rail on an abandoned stove with Ruger 22/45 .22 pistols just for fun. Guns used were a bone stock Ruger 22/45 and on modified in 1993 by “Chief AJ’s” Tribal Gun Shop in Tuscola, IL (no longer in operation sadly). Listen for the hits against the steel. The “Nutnfany Tactical Clinic” provides the perfect safe shooting range and the perfect target. While a fun exercise, the long range pistol …
