There’s something about 1911s. There will probably never be a handgun design as elegant as the 1911. I like modern polymer handguns but it is hard to beat the looks of a 1911.

Has happened to me. A couple times.

There is one HUGE caveat about these Walther 22s. Buy extra magazines BEFORE you buy the gun. My PPK in 22 came with one magazine. After nearly 3 years(?) of trying to get even ONE additional mag, I finally gave up and sold the gun. I contacted Walther multiple times and always got a non-answer. They knew they weren't making additional mags and that people would not be able to find any, and they released that PPK anyway. Make certain anything you may want for a Walther, ANY Walther, is available BEFORE you buy the gun, because Walther does not care!!!

Walther had a LOT of problems with their P22 when first introduced...mostly magazine related. It took quite a while but they finally released the new modified mags which pretty much cured the problems and all they did was mill vertical slots on either side up near the top which lets the rims displace sideways so the follower can lift the nose of the top round where it will feed properly. I wanted a bunch of spare mags but for a long time only the original problematic mags were available as it seemed that the improved version was going into guns. I bought a handful of the original mags and a few minutes with a Dremel and needle files did the slotting and that little gun ran thousands and thousands of round flawlessly afterwards. It did displace a little bump on one of the slide rails that started to drag and caused failures but the needle file set cured it with a couple swipes and no more material displaced afterwards so the thing was reliable again. Sadly...the guns had a bad reputation when the problems were SO easy to fix...everyone seems to expect them to last forever without any work and suffer having unreliable guns as a result. Considering the low price of this 1911 I'd suspect that the major frame and slide are cast of Zamac which is a zinc alloy that's excellent for casting and strong enough for rimfire duty.

hats off to another great M98 vid. this commentary is intended to those who don't always understand/appreciate M98's critique of a firearm. in this vid, he talks about how wide the notch of the rear sight is. some may or may not understand how important sights are to one's marksmanship skills. in short, he is saying, study your firearm, learn it's strengths, it's weaknesses. thinking about the firearm u hold in your hands WILL lead to proficiency. u will amaze yourself at how well u can shoot once u study your firearm. thank u M98!

What a video mixup! The relationship between you and your local pawn shop deserves a lot of praise with all the weapons we get to see. You are as amazing as ever.

Nice find. These German .22s can be finicky. When they run, they run but when they don't run, they're impossible. 1911s are legendary for a reason. Pick one up and they just feel right, like shaking hands with Mr. Browning.

I may buy this pistol. I really like it. Mix-up, this channel is going grow like crazy. I love the guns you do testing on and have for many years. I love the 1911, and own two right now.

That thing is as reliable as a Ruger MkI, II, III.. and a Ruger 10/22. Impressive. Got the same sighting issues as the MkI, II, III series, too. Now I want one...

The frame is made of die cast Zinc. This prevents it from being converted to .45 ACP, by just changing the slide and barrel. As possible with the original .22 conversion pistols, as made by Colt Rock Island etc. Other than that it appears to be a reliable fun plinker. Specially if you had extra high cap magazines. As mentioned by a previous poster.

I had bought one of these a few years ago, new, for about $260. I was VERY excited about it (as I love the 1911 platform) and couldn’t resist this cost effective version plinker. My excitement quickly disappeared after it seemed to be the most finicky, un-reliable, pistol I’d ever shot. As stated, the slide didn’t have much power behind it, wouldn’t lock up / close a lot of the time, it seemed to only like certain ammo (mostly high velocity ammo) and it once decided to allow the barrel bushing to “unlock” due to the spring pressure, which allowed the recoil spring / plug to be launched down range (which took a while to find afterwards) I didn’t shoot it much after that, and it pretty much sat in the safe in its original packaging as I debated selling / trading it. Then one day I stumbled across “ZS Tactical” and ended up purchasing one of their aftermarket recoil springs for it on a whim. What a difference! It ran non stop, ate pretty much anything you loaded it with, and was pretty accurate with just about anything as well. Then one day I completely disassembled it, cleaned it all, and polished the trigger, sear, hammer, and “tuned” the sear spring a bit. Now it is an unstoppable machine which has put more rounds on steel plates, paper targets, pop cans, empty shot gun shells, and 1” stickers. This thing is SO much fun that I have put well beyond 24,000 rounds through it (shooting a box of 525 every week for over a year) before the “22 ammo crisis”struck. I have added a set of “VZ Grips” (Frag ETC in black / gray) and still take it out pretty regularly when I can, and enjoy the hell out of it. One of the best purchase I’ve ever made (even though it had a pretty rough start) Highly recommend one if your in the market for a fun 22 pistol (but you may have to forego some of the same issues I did) still well worth it though

I bought the Gold Cup version of this gun a few years ago and I love it. I also stumbled on to extra magazines in a local store a while after. It's been fun, reliable and accurate. Wonderful for cheap practice.

I went out to a local gun store and looked at one, I'd never held a 1911 before, and didn't know about one in 22 cal., and I was really impressed with the way it felt in hand. And was impressed with the gun itself, very well made. So, went back the next day and bought it. I cleaned it and blacked out the 2 rear wht. dots and redid the front in flourescent orange. We had a snow storm so waiting for a nice day to go break it in. Thanks for another cool gun review.

Interesting find. Great price too. I sometimes considered getting a .22LR conversion kit for my Kimber Custom but I ended up getting a Ruger MkIV 22/45 and that's pretty close to the same shooting experience. Maybe not as good of a trigger but at least in terms of the controls being the same.

Great video Mix. Was surprised to see the barrel was captive to the frame on dissembly. I have a Mauser 1911 22 made in Germany (most likely by GSG) and the barrel slides out after removing the barrel bushings. Interesting design by Walther.

Earned a like and a sub. Just finished watching your hi-point carbine video and it seems like it’s pretty honest reviews.

fFor your younger reviewers it's worth noting that the U.S. Army used the ACE adapter for 90% of training in my experience it was very reliable .

Bought the Colt Government Series 70 Mk IV in '74,,,,then I bought the .22 Colt Conversion Kit a month later...thing is pretty accurate...

Got a good laugh out of the 3 rounds, 1 rock,, good one. I'll be getting me one of these :) Thumbs up video Brother ~John

As a 1911 fan I really like this and it would make a nice carry sidearm in the woods when paired along side something like a 10/22.

1:12 Actually it was made by Umarex, Walther's parent company. Umarex bought Walther in 1993, and every 22LR gun from Walther like P22 and later models, were all Umarex's work. They own Walther so they get to put Walther's name on whatevery they want :) I got this same gun in Gold Cup version for two years now. It's been reliable eating cheap ammo, only choke occasionally on Federal 325rd bulk from Walmart. Gave it a set of rosewood Colt medallion grips, now it's proper :)

Mixup, I did get one and got to shoot it 3 times was low. But, I don't like the way the front sight fits, got a gap at the bottom and it's so loose before you tighten the set screw it just falls out, so made to small. I called Walther, and they sent me another one right out, it's the Gov. sight, a litlle better fit, so I painted flouresent orange and sanded down a bit so I can hit more on target instead of aiming at 12 o'clock. But, a great pistol. Got mine for $359 out the door. Your videos have got me inspired to buy all kinds of stuff "I didn't need" as my wife reminds me. I found a bunch of really nice custom grips, Ivory, Pearl, Rosewood, etc. to dress it up. Only about $25 on Amazon.

It's a very attractive weapon and looks like a lot of fun.
