If you like the P99, then you’ll love the P22… According to all the hoopla I’ve read, you need to get one of the newer models, with a prefix starting with “N”. (which I did)
I bought the “Limited Edition” that comes with both barrels and a fancy case. So far, after nearly 1000 rounds, I’m very pleased. I’ve been shooting the Federal bulk ammunition you buy from Wally World, and it’s obvious the little gun likes the “hotter” stuff, but for the price of the ammo, I’ll tolerate the occasional weaker load.
Unless your shooting paper off of a sand bag, the little P22 is accurate enough to bounce a can with every shot… If you have ever shot a Ruger with the short tapered barrel, you know how hard it is to hit anything with it. It’s not that way with the P22… At 15 feet, rapid-fire shots are very controllable, even with the shorter barrel. Recoil is controllable, even for a child’s hand…
This is a nice gun! If I were to choose only one I think I would choose the shorter, more compact barrel… I’ll probably buy another one so my son and I can shoot together when he gets bigger… For now, he’s learning the basics with a P22 Airsoft…
