I really like a small 22 auto. I have a few of the Phoenix 22s that I love.
The new PPK/S .22 is made by the parent company Umarex not the old fashioned Walther. Different times.
o give the gun it's due it is made from zamak, a zink alloy which is stronger than ordinary zink.

I’m surprised that Walther went to zinc after all those years of making them the old fashioned way. Whatever the materials, .
.Reinz said:I have the Walther clone in an Erma 22 from the 80’s.
I could be mistaken, but I think it has a steel slide. It’s in the safe that is buried behind a ton of junk
The only real complaints I’ve ever heard about it are about the DA trigger pull.
A good thread might be "What conventional DA automatic has a good DA trigger pull?"
Zamak is a trade name and I have no idea if they use Zamak specifically or not.
But to your point, there are many grades and they certainly aren't using the same grade as used for hotwheels.
Makes sense. Hopefully they’re tough enough to last as long as my 1980’s era TP-22 has.The new PPK/S .22 is made by the parent company Umarex not the old fashioned Walther. Different times.
