I mentioned this in another thread, but it cropped up on another P22 recently: when loading a mag with the slide locked back, if a firm rap is given to the bottom of the mag to seat it, the slide will release and chamber a round without touching the slide release button. This happened to anyone else? Doesn't bug me too much, but I can't believe S&W intended this to happen...

P22s are made by Walter in Germany. S&W just imports em. The P22 slide catch is subject to wear. Once it's worn it will do that. Its not intended. You can take a file and dress the catch area and the slide stop so that they have positive engagement and it won't happen anymore. (The slide has a steel pin pressed in at the catch location, as the slide itself is super soft zinc and would otherwise wear all to hell). |
