After church yesterday we had an hour or so free time before the church picnic so I took Mrs. SG to the range yesterday. She loves her little Walther P-22 but began having stovepipes and fail to feed issues almost immediately which is something we've never had issues with int he past.
Funny enough the prior owner (purely by coincidence) of the P-22 was there. He explained about that pistol only liked copper jacketed rounds and graciously gave us a handful to try out.
The gun started shooting a bit better but still wasn't going well. I checked it out and saw a small crack just behind the extractor on the slide.
I called Smth and Wesson and they're going to send me a return shipping label and replace the slide. Cost is TBD but could be free. These slides are notorious for this and I'd be less than pleased if it wasn't free.
That's what I get for buying a P-22. I know wifey liked it but I was reluctant and should have talked her into a Ruger Mark 2.
