I have a problem it seems w/ my P22. When I shoot it, holding it as I hold all of my other handguns, upon firing a round, my magazine drops out. I have shot it without anything part of my hand holding the magazine and it works fine, but as soon as I place my grip, which is not loose but not tight, the pressure from my pinky I guess is pressing the magazine slightly back causing it to drop loose as soon as the slide cylces and strips the next round. The round always gets chambered, but the mag will fall out the bottom as soon as I release my grip. I even had my wife shoot this gun to make sure it wasn't me, she had the same problem. Anyone know how this can be fixed? I'd like to find a fix for this, as it is VERY annoying to have to re-insert the magazine after each time. Thanks, Nick |

My wife had the same/similar problem . I determined that she was placing her finger very low on the trigger and wouold push down on the magazine release as she pulled the trigger. That combined with the use of the magazines with the finger rest caused the problem. Not sure if this will help you any but I thought I would throw in my observation. |

When shooting, I've purposely placed my trigger finger high as to make sure I am not hitting the mag release. I am sure I am not hitting the release. At first, I thought it was a posibility, but after repeated attempts, I made sure I wasn't. Thanks for the reply though. I'd like to figure out what is causing this. It is a fun gun to shoot, but not when it doesn't work properly. Nick |
