Took the Walther P22 out this afternoon with a 500 brick of cheap CCI Blazer.
The little pistol ate the CCI 22 like a fat man eating ice cream. Not a single issue... The P22 seems to have a lot of vocal haters but I'm growing to love this little pistol. TD |

Quoted: My P22 Target is 100% reliable and very accurate too. But I hate it. It is just way too small for my hands and PITA to break down and clean. Its something I would love to get rid of and get a Ruger 22/45. I might keep it and let it be a girls gun.  Have you ever tried to breakdown and clean a 22/45? It's not exactly a cake walk  |

I'm going to 2nd this as I just bought a 22/45 2011 production model last week. After shooting it I thought I would disassemble it. I should have known there was trouble when it was hard to take out the mainspring. (Youtube made it seem so easy.) I had to use a rubber mallet and punch. To get the pin back in I had to use a vice and 3 pound hammer. Why? Because the frame and receiver hole don't line up. As long as I don't have to disassemble it at the range, I'm ok with putting it back together with a hammer and vice. I'm surprised the hammer didn't mar the mainspring lever in any way.
I'm considering sending it to Ruger to resolve the problem, but it's so fun to shoot. |

I don't have a 22/45 but I do own 5 Mk2's and Mk3's total and I have never had any problems taking any of them apart or putting them back together. I just have the Ruger manual in front of me while working. I only took the upper on each of them off the lower during the initial clean up and I had to use a rubber mallet to remove and put back the uppers. I figured that it was due to a tight initial fit. I think that the difficulty in taking the rugers apart and putting them back together is grossly exaggerated. I also own a Walther P22 and I find that jiggling the slide off with the plastic assembly rod through the mainspring is more difficult and aggravating. But that is just me. |
