re: Help me decide whether to get a Glock 17 or Walther P99

The P22 Walther is sometimes a fickle pistol. When I first bought mine I purposely took the two clips and the pistol straight out of the box and to the range. 60 rounds in with multiple brand 22lr and I had malfunctions of not wanting to fire. I called Walther and I even stated that I will clean thoroughly and try again before sending back and the tech agreed. They have an EXCELLENT warranty with return time, shipping, etc..... I have since cleaned (I will say the breakdown of the P22 is somewhat aggravating) and have fired hundreds of rounds of multiple brand 22lr without issue.

I myself am comfortable with all aspects of Walther as in this case and alot of times I believe to be people jumping to conclusions on many brands of guns without properly doing their due diligence. My thought is the P22 needed a thorough cleaning prior to being shot (typically always recommended) and I have found that firing this pistol wet with a few drops of gun oild in the slide area helps immensely.

Just my 2 cents.
