    Walther SP22 M2 experiences?

    does anyone here care to share experiences with one of these?
    mine is being difficult and i wondered if i am just special.

    I bought my wife and daughter each a P22. Jams, failure to extract, and misfeeds pretty commom. We traded them off.

    I've only had misfires with the bulk ammo, the pistol works fine with everything else.

    Stinger of all things works best in the wires for some reason. Second up is the wallynworld remming ton target in the 100 ct plastic box.

    it does not like my eley sport. i gave it a bunch of mixed leftovers from dads house that i dont know how old they are and it ran fine. i guess it does not have champagne tastes. last time out i tried a bulk box of cci and it did eh. it liked some old pmc stuff a little better. i got so tired of failure to fire that i modified the firing pin to be taller since it was only getting the very edge of the brass. i did not want to get that creative but i was tired of it not working and didnt feel like sending it in to be fixed. i bought it new and it has not worked right from day one. it works better now i just expected a better pistol considering what they wanted for these new. at least i got mine on sale....(and i know why)...

    I have two of these. They shoot just about anyting I put in them. My best results are with remington subsonic.

    mine runs near 100 % also. Except double action does not fire the round.

    mine is nearly running fine with winchester or remington target ammo after much tweaking. the accuracy leaves a bit to be desired. need to find a match barrel for mine. glad to hear most people have been doing well with theirs as i was worried it was a bad pistol.
