Walther P22Q Review 

the internet can make a guy dizzy. Other you tube channels have reported excellent results out of this gun and even the Winchester ammo. Then a guy starts reading comments and the water gets even more clouded about function and ammo appetite. I chalk up your experience to needing to be cleaned and just running in parts with much more firing cycles. Walther does have a recommended ammo list for this and the WMP pistol so that could be a dividend to help alleviate cycling problems. Shooters and the conditions in which they use their guns tend to be all over the board, lots and lots of variables. Smart bet is to go slow and observe the basics to excess, a clean weapon and recommended ammo will usually carry the day. Good video, thank you.

I got lucky. The one I bought about a month ago had one light strike out of 400 rounds. 200 mini mag and 200 HP aguilla. I took it straight from the box and it rang flawless other than that one

Mine likes aguila ammo, have ran over 400 rounds thru it so far , not one problem, great video! God bless!

Appreciate the time making this video got this baby for my daughter on the ranch 👍

I've owned a lot of semi auto 22lr pistols over the years. Haven't found one yet that wasn't fussy about what ammo it liked. They'll run great with one brand and hate another. I picked the little Walther up a while ago and it's no different. She likes CCI, hates Winchester. Haven't tried Aguila yet, but I will eventually. Bulk ammo's usually hit or miss due to quality control, but mine runs decent with Federal BYOB that I got on sale. That's the fun part of 22lrs. Shooting a bunch for low cost and seeing what they like.

I just bought this gun and took it to the range yesterday. I had the exact same results using the 40 gr ammo. I went with the economy big box of ammo for $30 to have some fun at the range for a long time. 1st round fires, 2nd failure to feed continuously. I thought it was maybe due to me firing the gun straight from the box instead of lubing it up. After shooting it for a while and bringing it home it collected a lot of gun powder and was really filthy. It's all cleaned up and lubed properly so I'm ready to hit the range again to see if it keeps giving me the same issues. Great video, thanks for the detail review.

Every video i have seen on the p22q hates winchester across the board. Every time they switch to cci or federal it ran great. Hope this helps

I have not read all the comments but i watched your safety and it moves and prevents the hammer from hitting the pin. on mine the safety fully engages itself during use. tightening the screws on the safety helps'

,22 Plinkster has a video on that gun and which ammo to use with it and which ammo to avoid.

first 300 just shot , 1 jam with CCI mini mags, mag quality is very nice , i have same size hands to me it seems a medium size pistol but ok to use, release is stiff but i like it lol , keeps mag in, the sights are appropriate and fine especially for indoor range, did not know how to remove barrel thank you! ( mine was failure to feed, went part in then in stopped) pulled back slide then it was fine

Thank you - a very comprehensive review.

This is the Gen2 upgraded from original p22. Most of the issue have been resolved

Great video, thanks. Your video was refreshing compared to the "expert" videos, it felt friendly like a talk with my shooting buddy down the street, competent. I think the P22Q would be a good fit for me, size accuracy and controls. I don't need it for protective service although I did have a guy walk up on me unannounced once on property I rented outside city limits when I was plinking. I think I could manage with the P22Q in a pinch because I don't strap on two pistols to go plink.

Ive found CCI minimags are flawless. Winchester all my guns is only good for practicing jams.

Great detailed review.

great review, thanks

I just got one of these pistols for a Christmas present to myself and a box of Winchester target(555) red n white was a real pain to try shooting much of, but funny, it went through the first mag full perfect, then could not fire 2 consecutive rounds with the other magazine full. Failure to feed, fte, ftf... Bought a few boxes of CCI Stingers and it would plow through that no problem. Bought a 325 round box of federal auto match and it was instant replay of that first winchester ammo. 1st mag perfect, 2nd mag ftf city. I'll be happy to hear any tips/ advice on this pistole...😂 So far I've gone through maybe a little under 100 rounds, so I'll clean it up and oil it too and hopefully come back w/ more to add later. Thx for your vid!! 👍😎

I have a p22q ordered and lots of all those different 22 ammo except the silvertip. I wont buy them. Good video. The silvertips may be ok for a revolver but not semiauto. Is this a P22 or P22q. BTW have you tried Stingers?

For the life of me i cant figure this little bugger out. Its doesnt like anything i put at it. Im going to keep watching a few more videos to try and figure this one out. I had 2 shots and then failure to eject over and over. Tried a dozen times. I got it to teach my girls. But cant have with fun and teach them with something as awful as this. Not sure if its the gun or me, but my goodness, this was not fun.

I think the CCI 45 grain worked better because of the heavier bullet...

That thing is tiny, you need the GSG 1911 .22, like me for bigger hands. Nice gun though, great review.

Just bought this Walter P22 4 days ago straight out of the boxes guns jamming catching all my hammer would not reload going to have to file the hammer and track I don't know I'm not happy hopefully I can get it running right cuz I can't get a refund that's what I get for not doing research about this gun I found bad reviews one after another but at least I found videos that shows how to fix it I'll do more research next time I buy a firearm

Sounds to me like the magazine spring needs to be stronger and maybe there would be less failure to fire...

Did you clean the gun before shooting it? I cleaned mine and haven’t had one jam/issue out of it since new out of about 4k rounds. You also got the wrong adaptor. You need the long one for the new style nitrided barrel.

I see mini mags, I was wondering if there would be any trouble in the mag chambering a load

Hammer needs polished, notice when you cock it it hangs a bit, not sliding smoothly past hammer, without strong ammo it doesn't come far enough back. Simple fix. Polish hammer, pull back notice where it gets kinda hard.

Thanks for the great review. Would you recommend shooting high velocity rounds through it or do you think they mught be too much for it given the alloy slide?

In the communist California version, the threaded barrel is glued on so you can't remove it. Somehow that stops crime according to the AG. 🙄

Quit complaining. Buy the Magnum instead 😅 22 ammo is kinda faulty no matter who makes it. Owners hint...soak that firearm in 3 to 1 oil through out . 22 can leave a heavy residue. For the size its as dirty as a 45. Seat your mags also! Run it with the extra lube a bunch...its like so close to a CO2 construct its easy to get lost in its inexpensive feel..but run it and let the gun heat up and seat your parts with the 3_1 oil Remember its a pentertraitng oil. After that rub it down and give it a "wipe clean:. Again remember 22 ammo is kinda loose, you can bend a bullet pretty easy..

What adapter did you buy if you don't mind answering? The one I got for my son looks identical. Says P22 Q on the barrel under the sleeve. There's a long one and short one but for some reason I can't figure that out. 😂

Way more failures than I would expect. Thanks for your review.

Those silver tips didnt sound good when firing,, WEAK

Why didnt you send it back to producer? It is definitevly an issue which should be fixed.

👍🏻

Mine is fine ,run cci

GOOD LORD THE MF ADS ON RU-vid ARE DRIVING ME FING NUTS

Winchester ammo sucks! Every gun in every video I've seen has problems with Winchester.

The most unreliable gun that I own.

Please stop um ming
