Hey gang, I'm in the market for a P22 for plinkin' around, and I've got quite a bit of good advice in here on them. I know that there is one type of "A" magazine and the "B" magazines that are supposed to worth buying. I did some reading around here, and couldn't quite discern the difference from the descriptions. Would anyone be able to provide a few pictures so I can recognize them in person at the gun show this weekend? |

This describes it better than I could:
"There are three revisions of the Walther P22 magazine as the original design was prone to feed failures. Walther corrected the issue by modifying the feed ears and adding a short 3/8" slot which allows rounds to stagger as they approach the top of the magazine. The second version of the magazine is designated with an 'A' after the part number. Later versions of the 'A' magazine have an elongated 1" stagger slot which further improves the magazine's performance. Finally Walther has released a 'B' version which is made of thicker steel, has a tall spring retaining nub and retains the 1" stagger slot." Here's one of my "B" mags, that's all I have. It's etched on as part of the part number on the mag. Just look for the B.
