I mean that they will tell you it was built by Walther's toy factory (slightly true in a way, actually, my info is it is partly made in their sporting goods division instead of the same place that will make say a P99), they will tell you it is a Zamak piece of shit, it is a jam-o-matic, etc etc etc.

I find that mine works as advertised. With bulk .22LR I get about 10-12 FTF per box of 525. Dunno about being a target pistol though, even though I got to be quite accurate with mine. It's certainly no match for say a Ruger MKII or MKIII re: accuracy.

Mine has both barrels and both slides. I never used the longer barrel but once, I found no appreciable accuracy difference. My own feeling is that an interference between the extension, barrel, and slide contribute to the slide cracking issues people cite.

I bought mine because it was a small pistol with a short sight radius and I reasoned this would exaggerate things I was doing wrong while shooting. I think it made me a better shot for sure.

I recommend heeding the manufacturer's advice about using high velocity ammunition in it exclusively. Mine loves CCI minimag and likes Remington Golden Bullet. Winchester Wildcat is about as good as RGB in my P22 but very dirty.

I also recommend using a dry lube instead of oil.
