So the missus wants a P22... and none other than the Short BBL one with the grey poly frame and blued slide will do... It's a reasonably good choice to get her mroe familiar with DA/SA without stepping above the comfortable .22lr cartridge. To be honest it's pretty damn good lookin and I hear it's easy to supress! Reliability issues aside I have some questions. Is the short barrel P22 threaded or only the long barrel? Is the P22 Recoil operated or is it Blowback like a PPK or a Makarov?? how much should I expect to pay for one of these NIB with warranty? Any good places to find them new or barely used online? A little help guys? I have a HiPower clone in my sights next but I'm not allowed to buy anymore toys until I get her one!!!

Recoil or Blowback operation? Is there a difference? Any FFL dealer can order one, RSR typically has the Grey framed ones available. They sometimes have specials where they sell the Grey gun with both barrel sets in a package. Only do not get the CA compliant model, it is not threaded. |
There's a blue-gray on Gunbroker.com right now - two barrels -two mags $319  gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=42329229 |

short barrel is threaded (need adapter for a can), I have black with green and it cost me 280 out the door NIB follow the walther P22 not suck thread in Handguns and it will help alot with reliability ETA: it is blowback operated like a makarov with a fixed barrel |
Uh oh. I just got a P-22 today, and I think I accidentally got the CA compliant model. I thought there was an adapter for the threads and not that the barrel itself was threaded? I had intended to silence this eventually. Am I screwed? |

The barrel is threaded... You add the adapter. They are around 29 bucks. Linky: www.tacticalinc.com/walther-thread-adapter-with-thread-protector-p-74.html |
Does your barrel have the barrel slotted end? If so, just remove the end cap, and the threads are under it. If not, you can buy a new barrel... You aren't screwed. Pretty decent gun for plinking!
