CCI Mini-Mag - 4 FTF, Walther P22

BTW: Your lil girl was tearing it up! That was great.

My P22 has had a healty diet of Remmy GB's

THIS X 2 - my wife has a little pink P22 and it eats Golden Bullets all day long.

Hah! That was me with the bag of .22's. They were assorted Winchester Wildcats and Remington Gold box. Not suprised at a few FTF's, they were pretty old. CCI Mini Mags are about the best you can get. But no rimfires have the reliablity of a centerfire round. Just the nature of the beast.

i think its cool that you guys were next to each other at the range. the ftf issue sounds gun related but a good cleaning before shooting might have prevented it. i bet a good cleaning and another range session will fix it.

She didn't want to put it down. Wanted to go the next day. I was checking on whether she had any soreness in her hands/wrists/forearms/etc. that evening and the next day. Not too bad, and she denied any once I mentioned that we'd wait to let that clear up. You'll be seeing us again.

Pinned the torn-up target up in her room like a poster. There were about 7 in the center X - about the size of a half-dollar?

BTW, she's a lefty, so the P22 got chosen for the <almost> ambi capability.

The mission of that gun is to 1) let the wife qualify with a semi-auto, 2) have the next generation get up to speed with firearms, and 3) maybe be a BUG, at least for one of us. There was the recent case of the dude that died from 2 to the chest, and I wouldn't want to take a face full of .22

i had to file down the feed ramp with a dremmel. its also very sensitive to limp wristing. consider its weight.

I should probably clarify - fail to fire, not fail to feed. What's the acronym for that?

You can see that the rim was struck.

Edit: limp wristing - that may have been a factor

My P22 has had a healty diet of Remmy GB's and Fed's 550 bulk ammo. It won't shoot CCI for anything. Funny things 22 firearms, ain't they?

I think I'll put the Fed 55 on my shopping list, after I exhaust the 5 boxes of CCI.

Hah! That was me with the bag of .22's.

Thanks for letting us extend our evening - we had a blast.

I think the Remington Gold was OK - didn't notice a problem with those.

On the fail to fire rounds, did you try to shoot the rounds again. I've tried it on all the FTF's and have about an 90% success rate of them going bang.

 

[mayberg]

....did you try to shoot the rounds again?

Nope, but I hung on to them in case. I'll have them next time.
