Walther P22: Which barrel length to get?

[kalibear45]

I'm planning to purchase a Walther P22 pretty soon and was wondering which one I should get? 3.4" or 5" barrel?

I've shot the 5" barrel version before and do not care too much about the muzzle weight, comp-looking, contraption at the end of it and heard that it often gets loose. Will I be sacrificing some accuracy if I go with the shorter barrel version?

I have found them both to be equally accurate. Most of the ones we get end up leaving with both barrels.

Now take the compensator off the longer barrel and thread for a Gemtech supressor,,,,

From what I've been finding out, get both barrels & don't worry about which is more accurate.

Good idea...

I'm gonna start off with the 3.4" version. Anybody know where I can get the 5" barrel by itself?

From what I understand, the barrels can be had from Smith & Walther directly.

I have the short barrel only. It looks cooler...

You can get the 5" barrel from Earls Repair Service.
