Walther G22 Range report

[battlehatch]

Took my new G22 to a local outdoor range today. Brought Federal premiums, CCI Mini mags, and CCI stingers. Started with CCI Mini Mags, first round FTF. Second round, FTF and required the use of a tool to remove the dud. Shot two mags worth and switched to Federals. Federals fed more reliably, but were not as accurate as the CCI Mags. Sights are mediocre, anyone know if you can drift the front sight into position? Mine shoots slightly left with Federals, dead on with CCI. Unit only seemed to misfeed with CCI blazers, switched to Stingers. Seems like the action cycles better with the stingers and shoots decent too. Shot at 4" shoot'n'see's at 25yds, pretty much stayed on paper even during rapid fire.
What I liked about it: Feels good in my hands, shoots pretty consistent, mags are easy to load, trigger pull isn't as bad as what people claim on most bullpup designs.

What I hated about it: Damn 10 rd. mags! Cannot fire without magazine inserted. (anyone got a fix for that?) No easy windage adjustment. Magazine disconnect also makes clearing jams a pain. Really looking forward to cleaning it. (/sarcasm off).

Overall, pretty expensive for a plinker. Shot a ruger 10/22 with a bull barrel and scope purchase for the same price and was a better target shooter, but that's not what this thing is for. I plan on putting a scope or red dot on it and I'll let you know how it goes.

Dont screw with the kaliforniastan mag / trigger job they have done to all new semi autos its complicated and the weapon probably wont function if you mess with it, I asked my gunsmith about it on my MKIII and he said I should have bought a used MKII if I did not like it.
