So as not to shit up the other thread (which is technically about a different Walther pistol anyway), I'll ask here.

In that thread, someone said:
Is there a press release or online resource to that effect?  I'm finding a lot of conflicting stuff online about whether it's 1 year vs lifetime, whether it's through Walther vs S&W vs Umarex, whether they'll foot the shipping bill, days vs weeks vs months turnaround time, free under warranty vs charged repairs, repair vs replace, etc.  Any solid input or anecdotes about the current state of these things?

I have a P22 with with the "usual suspects" of a rounded off slide stop that won't hold the slide open, deep divots and gouges from the trigger bar ears, FTFeed/FTEject when shooting w/o a can, hammer/safety interface hangup, etc.

Does email not work at all, or does it just not work as well?  I'd like to send pictures when I contact them.



When I asked this in the other thread, a poster replied:
But that forum is where I'm getting a lot of conflicting information about the warranty, including in recent threads (see google search of site:waltherforums.com warranty).  That's why I asked about an online copy of the warranty, or a press release about lifetime warranties and the retroactive aspect, and when that stuff started happening.  I don't know when any/all of these changes went on.

The current P22 manual also says 1 year.  Posters on WF are reporting 1 and 2 year warranties in their manuals, lifetime on others, Walther reps telling them that the manuals are wrong and that ALL pistols are 1 year, and so on.  What's the straight scoop on all of this?



In any case, http://www.waltherarms.com/customer-support/ has the phone number and a contact form.  I'll give them a try.  Wish me luck - it's well beyond the stated 1 year warranty.

Go to the Walther Arms website and download the current catalog.

In the back is the statement about the lifetime warranty.

It covers all Walther pistols imported since 1994.  Walther's contact person for the Walther Forum confirmed some time ago that the warranty was retroactive.

This is not BS, it is real.

Here is a link to the catalog, in PDF format.
