Walther p22 needs a gun doctor

[BrandX]

Does anyone in Moore/Norman area have a recommendation for a gunsmith to fix my Walther p22? Acts like maybe mag safety isn’t working. Won’t engage hammer when you pull the trigger with or without magazines in it. I’ve tried with both mags no bang…

You might try calling Walther. I had a G22 that wasn’t cycling and sent it to them. They fixed it and paid shipping both ways.

You can find the Walther P22 Bible and download it. It shows you how to fix any problems.

Have you examined the slide for cracks? Wasn't this an issue at some point because they are made of zinc castings and there were some design flaws.

Yep.
Happened to mine just a couple months ago, however my issue didn't cause any other malfunctions until the fatal catastrophic break & the slide flying off & hit my wife in the face.

But if there is a crack & there is a flex or bend or something, it could cause other issues.

Can you just remove the mag safety? I don’t like them and have removed them on several guns. It also typically can help improve trigger pull.
Otherwise, I would just get with Walther and send it back and let them handle it.

Thanks everyone for the advisement

Think their forever warranty repair is in FT Smith if I remember correctly. Mine was sent, repaired, and returned in less than a week with a bad hammer spring.

That’s what is wrong with mine, bad hammer spring. They are sending out a new one free of charge.
