I saw thread on another forum about some mods that can be of benefit to the P22. I like mine just fine, but would be interested in having it improved, if possible, and cost effective. Anyone know of someone reputable that does this kind of thing?
I've not had enough time with mine yet to determine if I am having any issues other than the ejection issue, but I pulled the problems I read about that are of particular interest from the other forum:
1. Sharp trigger bar ears that damage the slide and ears that don't fully engage the slide ramp which can cause accelerated wear even with polished ears.
2. A hammer tip that catches on the safety bar causing the slide to fail to complete it's cycle and in the process fail to chamber a round. The stock hammer tip will also peen the metal on the bottom of the breech block and is usually not square but rather drags on one side or the other.
3. Poor spent casing ejection direction resulting in hot brass flying everywhere including between the eyes. One member recently reported his wife actually hitting a spent case that was ejected forward with the next round. This is not only aggravating but is not safe.
4. A safety that can rotate from safe to fire or just the opposite on it's own from the hammer tip dragging on/across the safety bar or from vibration caused by a hammer strike or firing.
Thanks,
Bill Graham
