If a magazine is unreliable, you’ll hear about it from other shooters. Customer reviews on the magazines you are considering are a great tool in this department. Strong springs, solid construction, and a brand known for quality control are all important factors in reliability. That applies if you are on the range for practice or in a high-stress situation. The last thing you want to be doing is questioning whether or not the next round will be fed into the chamber. While it does tend to go hand in hand with durability, reliability is just as important to consider. Look for magazines made from steel and other sturdy materials. For example, a magazine constructed entirely from plastic is a lot more likely to pose some issues, especially in tough conditions. Make sure that you aren’t considering options made primarily from questionable materials. I'd like to try the Walther with a mini red dot sight, though as I'm pretty sure that those big, three dot sights are a big contributor to its accuracy problems.Durability is one of the most important things to consider when looking for a new Walther P22 magazine. If it helps at all, I will probably be buying a Pac-Lite upper for my Ruger and once I get one, the Outback will probably spend 99% of its time there and the Walther will be relegated to pocket pistol status and training young'uns. Both will probably outlast you at any reasonable rate of shooting and both are accurate enough to bounce cans around or assassinate vermin.

If your priority is tack driving accuracy and durability, the Ruger is the better choice, if your priority is sexy small and light at an affordable price, the Walther is a better choice. You won't go wrong with either, so it comes down to your own priorities. By the way, you should be able to purchase one for much less. The P-22 is much lighter and smaller, also a bit less expensive. Overall, the Mk II feels better and is WAY more accurate.

As others have said, the Mk II has a better trigger, generally has a longer sight radius and is heavier. I own both the P-22 and a Mk II, and I'm waiting on the approved Form 4 to show up in my dealer's mailbox. Since with the can you are mostly shooting lower power, subsonic rounds to make it quiet, you are not pounding the little gun with the high velocity stuff anyway. Not like a Ruger that you can beat the hell out of for decades, but like you put it, the price is compelling. It's a really nice, small, handy package with the can.Īdvice from my gun snob crew is that if you don't shoot the hotter 22 loads, and you keep it clean, the P22 should perform well for a long time. The adapter part cost me $40 locally, threads on the stock stnd barrel (stock bbl is threaded). I don't think the P22 is a particularly good gun, especially compared to the Ruger, but I got one anyway. Someone clue me in on how you get threads on a P22. Like it just fits over the barrel and gives you 1/2" threads to screw on the silencer. What do I need to do to suppress a Walther P22? I've seen some adapters on gunbroker for it that looks That' pushes the total cost of the pisol alone to well over $500. Suppress the Ruger, I gotta buy one, then buy another serialized, threaded barrel assembly (like a Pac-lite)įor it. I've pretty much narrowed it down to a Ruger Mark III 22/45 or a Walther P22. I'm in the market for a 22LR pistol and I'm gonna get a Silencerco Sparrow to use with it.
