The P22 features great sights with a bright white dot up front and an additional pair arranged on each side of the rear notch. And we have quickly needed a pistol upon occasion (skunks, for instance). So much for the old school! We'd sure hate to need a so-locked pistol after misplacing the key, however. We'd rather rely simply on education but this is a sign of the times to be sure. Turning the key half a turn back makes it operational. The pistol can be instantly disabled when an internal lock is rotated to the S position, with the provided key. The P22 features one more interesting safety, a 2nd safety if you will. The hammer features a rounded spur but remains easy to grab and pull if one wishes to go immediately to single action operation. Unlike the parent P99, the P22 sports an exposed hammer. It isn't a target trigger to be sure but this isn't a target gun, either. The double action pull is reasonably smooth with little "stacking" while the SA trigger action is fairly crisp and clean with just a hint of overtravel. We'd call these numbers entirely in the ballpark and grade the sample trigger completely acceptable. Walther says that the P22 trigger exhibits a pull that requires about 12 pounds in the DA mode and just over five pounds while working things in the single action mode. The P22 features a composite, dual-function trigger. The barrel is also rigidly attached to the right side-plate.
Walther also relies on two steel side-plates, which are pinned into the composite receiver to serve as bearing surfaces for the slide. The P22 features a black, one-piece composite receiver while the slide and barrel are carbon steel. Walther's P22 looks like a winner for these shooters right off the bat. For a variety of understandable reasons, knowledgeable shooters have long desired companion arms that look, feel, and act like a centerfire semi auto but are chambered for the.
