I just want to check something out with everyone here. I just purchased the P22 yesterday and shot it at the range.
Question 1: When loading the magazines, the ammo appears to lie flat when the loading lever is depressed, but appears to scrunch up and stagger when the lever is released. I have shot ruger Mk22s with similar looking mags before, but the ammo always seems to line up neatly. Is this just a different method used by the manufacturers? Is this an example of the "metric" style of mags I have read about? Does this indicate some sort of problem with my mags? FWIW, I shot about 100 rounds and I had no FTF and maybe 1 FTE with a brand new gun. I can't take it home for a proper cleaning until next week as MO requires a permit to transfer a handgun.
Question 2: with a full magazine, hitting the slide release does not send the gun into battery. If I pull back on the slide, it will go into battery. Is this normal? Will this correct itself after a good stripping and initial cleaning?
Question 3: to decock, is the proper method to apply the saftey so that "s" appears and then release the trigger?
So far I am thrilled with the P22 and I have enjoyed shooting it more than any ruger 22 auto I have ever shot. It might not have the accuracy of a Mk22 slab side, but it much lighter, IMHO easier to aim, and just plain fun.
