Walther Price Check?

[ABaker]

I was at Sportsmans Warehouse the other day and I saw a new Walther P22 with the short barrel for $209.00. I am looking for one for my wife, but I think I want the longer barrel for me. The one I saw had only the short barrel. How much should you pay for both?

ABaker:

Seems like a good price for the 3.5" P22 in black.  Looks like you should expect to pay at least another $70+ for the 5" target version.  I was looking for one myself a while back...then stumbled upon some not-so-nice reports.  That aside, my understanding is there were some magazine problems early on, which have been resolved with an "A" series magazine.

Thought this was an interesting auction...since it references the "A" mags...

Let us know if you like the gun when/if you buy one.  I still think the 3.5 barrel P22 really looks neat!   :agree:

Good Luck and Be Safe!
