    Yes, I do and no, there's not--least not that I've found. If you run across one, please post a link here. I'm definitely interested. [8D]

    Have had one since they first came out. I have never seen or heard of a larger mag than the ones that came with it.

    I like mine quite a bit. I shot it quite a bit suppressed till I got my Kimber 1911/22 set up for a suppressor. Well now I run the Kimber mostly.

    the only problem with mine is it needs HV ammo. The bulk ammo has shown problems with FTE in mine.

    I have seen a replacement spring or something along that line that you can buy that will let it hold 2 more rounds

    Yup. It teaches some people a lesson, too. I have a pretty good size paw and I just couldn't grip the damn thing well. I got a Sig Mosquito and regardless of the bad press, I got a good one. Just use the right ammo with the right spring and no worries.

    I put about 100rds in mine yesterday evening no hickups at all. I was using Federal bulk ammo.

    The slide stop has a tendancy to blister the side of your thumb after a while. Other than that I loved mine.

    ive had one since the target model came out. only had one problem with a little set screw on the weight compensator. was replaced promptly at no charge.

    i like it a lot, my mk2 kicks its butt in accuracy but the p22 makes up for it in the fun factor. keep it clean and use teflon oil. my pistol eats all ammo and loves cheap federal.

    order at least ten magazines and you will have a lot more fun. i looked into it a lot and no bigger mags can be purchased here. it would be nice to fabricate a drum out of aluminum.

    Carry mine when I take the dogs for a walk, popped a few round into a tree yesterday. Dogs scattered for a while.
    Mine is olive drab/black, fun pistol, cheap to shoot, lots of safety features.

    Far as I know, there are ZERO extended clips for .22 pistols. Factory clips for S&W held 12, thats the biggest I have ever known of. Something to do with the Clinton ban back in 94. When it expired there was some trade off made to limit .22's to 10 rounds. I don't know the details, but had a few dealers to tell me this.

    Well I use to shoot mine a lot,

    Until I got this one,

    DSC04443.jpg

    Factory Kimber .22 (not just upper). It has 10rd mags too. If you pull the "plug" out of the mag you can get 15rds in them but have about a 20% failure to feed issue.

    I spent months going back and fourth between Walther, Sig Mosquito and the Ruger Mark III 22/45. I ended up going with the Mark III because I decided that I wanted the full intergrate suppressed upper.

    I hear they are great guns, I might end up buying one someday. The Mesquito tunred me off because it only came with 1 magazine and it was the most expensive.

    22/45 $245 out the door
    P22 $275 out the door
    Mosquito $325 out the door

    I can't help to think the 5.5inch bull barrell will not be the more accurate better shoting gun and with my large hands, it feels a bit more comfortable.

    Looking at the Auctions, I would say the P22 is more like $330-360 plus. Then there is shipping and FFL.

    $200 for something that probably won't work half the time, and only holds 45rds?

    WOW! I research to find a highcap mag for several guys who seem interested and post about it, only for some kid that isn't even old enough to purchase a handgun, most likely does not own one or have any experience with a Walther P22, and he wants to give a negative evaluation of the item based on what?
