I have a P22 that has been reliable and has functioned without fail. I have about 1000 rounds through it which have all been suppressed through a Form 1 can I made. I have noticed an issue slowly developing which is that hammer is not staying back after the slide cycles. Unless I rack the slide very forcefully, the hammer just doesn't stay back but follows the slide back down. Is there a certain area of the gun I can look at/clean to see what's up? If so, please let me know how to get to said area(i.e. necessary dissassembly). Thanks for any input, Fidel. |

go here http://www.freespeech.com/1917-1911M_P22_bible.pdf then go to page 66 and remove material wear it says "remove material here to make the rear catch earlier" That should take care of your problem. Also while you got everything apart give it a good cleaning. |

I sanded that part with 240 grit for a little while. Put everything back together and it still does not reliably stay back. How much material needs to be removed? I know it's not .020" which is in that diagram on page 66. The .020" seems to refer to the breech block. |
Also, while you got the slide off, de-cock the hammer and push down on the sear where I circled in yellow, to make sure the sear spring is not broken or installed wrong. P.S. When you check the sear, your checking to see if it still has tension when you push down. |

The pictures turned out really blurry so I'm not gonna post them. I just noticed that the pin that goes through the bar on the trigger assembly on page 31 of the P22 Bible has half sheared off. It's the pin that forms a "T". In his guide his is solid metal. Mine is a piece of crap roll pin. I called Walther and they are sending out a brand new trigger assembly free of charge. Good customer service I say!!! BTW, I have been IMing with 1917-1911M over at rimfirecentral. He certainly knows a ton about the P22. -Fidel |
| I left my lockout bar/trigger lock out. The magazine safety I left in, but modified it to disable it and took the inner spring out to ease the operation of inserting and releasing a mag. To disable the mag safety I sanded it down so it wouldn't catch the magazine. The reason I didn't take it out was cause without it the magazine had alot of play, so I just modified it. I'll have to take a pic of the modified mag safety for you. |
