Why would anyone need a gun?

Re: Walther P22 vs Ruger SR22
I used to have a P22. It fed best with CCI. I liked it. Have you considered a PMR30? If you're stuck on .22, it has a lot more power with barely more kick and holds three times the rounds. I think Ruger just came out with their own .22 mag model, too?

i would look into a 22 revolver, this calibre tend to jam in magazine fed guns and a revolver is more versatile since it usually shoots the magnum rounds. for more than target practice in this calibre, that is what i would buy.

I had a Walter a few years ago but sold it for a Sig. It was a great gun but it was such a pain in the ass to take apart and clean.

Thanks for all the opinions and knowledge.

FYI this is just an extra, for fun plinker to add. Not a carry item.

I'll have the chance to try both and will decide.

Between those 2, the SR22 is better. Cleaning is much easier, which is a big deal.

However, I traded my SR22 for a Taurus T-22. High capacity, extremely accurate and easy to clean. Cheap extra mags also.

This guy is right, for some reason Taurus knows how to make a 22LR semi-auto that just works.

I've had issues with jams and stovepipes when using the more expensive guns.

Not sure why Taurus does it so well.

Re: Walther P22 vs Ruger SR22
I have owned both for reliability out of the box the SR-22 by far the Walther P22 has some serious feeding issues. However once you've broken in the Walther P22 it is the neatest little pistol I've ever owned.
And here we are staring at each other through an electronic............ error goto ram

Shot them both like them both. Walther is picky on what you feed it a lot of 22s are. The Ruger ate everything I feed it my only beef is the crazy long trigger pull before it breaks.

Pay attention to this! ^^^^^

I also had the same problem with the Ruger. The feed ramp seems to be a too steep of an angle. My Ruger would only cycle rounds when it was extremely clean. After 75 or 100 rounds you would have to clean it again in order for it to run right. I sold the gun.

If you want one that runs right, look at the M&P .22 compact. When you look compare the feed ramp to the Ruger and Walter. On the M&P, the round lines up from the magazine almost directly with the chamber. Therefore it works.
Mine will cycle everything you put in it with the exception of some subsonic ammo that doesn’t have enough powder to run the gun.
