Walther P22 vs Ruger SR22

I own both and the Ruger SR22 is much better than the Walther, in my opinion.

The Walther is iffy with certain ammo. I also hate the safety on it.

The SR22 feels solid, shoots well and I have had no problems with any ammo used. I have a few thousand rounds through it so far.

Actually, since I purchased the Ruger, the walther has not left the safe.

Just my opinion, good luck with whichever you choose!

Of those two I'd go with the Ruger. I bought the S&W M&P 22 recently and it's probably my favorite .22 pistol to plink with...since I have an M&P 9mm as well.

For what it's worth, I have a W P22, and I like it. I had some issues firing cheap Remington bullets out of it over the holidays. The powder charge was not enough to cycle the slide. These same cartridges would fire when the suppressor was on the pistol though. I have not fired it since then and don't know if it was the ammo or the pistol needing cleaning???

The P22 was picky with some ammo is all I can say with any certainty. Not sure about the why yet. It did shoot everything well with the suppressor.

I would look at magazines as well and determine if they are available and how much they cost. This could help you decide on your purchase.

I own both of these guns and the Walther is very picky with the brand of ammo that you use. It will only shoot CCI consistently. The Ruger has flawlessly shot any brand of ammo I've put in to it.
