Just wanted to relate my recent experience with my Walther P22.
I have a Walther P22 that goes with me on every range trip since I bought it in early 2008. The pistol was bought in Jan as a host for my suppressor which got stamped in March 2008. I normally shoot it with the suppressor attached. Based on some rough calculations I'm pretty sure it has seen more than 12-15K rounds through it, maybe as high as 20-23K.
Until recently the gun had performed pretty well. Some issues with feeding from the mags from time to time, but overall very good. It eats up the bulk fodder without issues.
I did have one failure with it about two weeks ago. The hammer spring snapped in two. After finding a good instruction online for full dis-assembly, found the broken spring and called Walther (S&W). Apparently, according to their CS that is the more common failed part. Less than a week later, I received the replacement spring and it's back in play.
The slide is "light" but so far no issues other than a wear spot at the slide lock notch area.
So, kudos to Walther (S&W) support/service and let's see how many more rounds it goes through before the next service interval.
