Walther P22 P.O.S. Has anyone been able to fix one of these?

Sig 1911-22 is a nice gun............Thanks to GSG !

 

And the world is a really screwed up place when GSG is the reason for a nice gun.

 

I would have gladly paid $1,000+ for a steel receiver MP5 clone in 22lr but instead they use plastics and pot metal.

Browning 1911-22 is also a nice gun.

Slide on my mosquito broke.
Sig fixed it. Only had to pay shipping. It was a good gun for several 1000 rounds before it broke. My p22 is a good malfunction trainer lol.

 Heck, I would get a Jennings/Jimenez J22 before I would get a Mosquito or P22.  I know I would get a Phoenix Arms pot metal .22 before the Sig or the Walther. At least Jimenez and Phoenix make no bones about pot metal, it is what it is and is priced right in these two cases.

Wow, never owned a Mosquito or P22 but if the Jennings is better I want nothing to do with them.  My Jennings never leaves the safe and has had less than 50 rounds through it in the last 25 years or so.  It has always been fed CCIs and still has issues feeding and extracting rounds.

Sig told me they suggest replacing the recoil spring every 500-700 rounds lol.
It's just a cheap pot metal slide, they all break there eventually.

Every 500-700 Rounds. Heck that's one range session for a lot of guys.

Ha. It used to be one session... anymore there's no way I'm shooting up that much of my stock of 22LRs in one session... [emoji3]
