Note there are bolt rackers for both Ruger and Browning available.I cannot recommend the P22...there is a reason it is inexpensive and heavily discounted......
The little SR22 will serve you well....for many years to come.....
Nothing wrong with a Browning but they can be difficult to charge a first round for small shooters...
jmho...
and what is kindergarten?
I've owned two buck marks and two Rugers. I literally shot the Ruger until it became so old the frame cracked and internals went kerfluey. I now have an S&W Victory. Although it has a great optic sight and easy as sin to dissassemble, I cannot recommend that one.I've owned several Rugers and a Buck Mark.
Still have the Buck Mark...Rugers have been sold.
I only post like this.......to drive .......people......crazy.......
I have the Walther P-22 and mine has the included barrel threaded extender. Use. My .22 Silenser on it constantly and has not failed me yet.Some...if not most...of people are far too prone to going crazy.
I've had the Walther. Seemed to be less well constructed of alloy...of some sort.
Sold it.
Still have the Ruger as a host for my suppressor and it's marvelous. Reliable with everything subsonic I feed it. Cycles half the time with the uber-silent CCI 710 "quiet" stuff, although I put my thumb to block the slide to make incredibly quiet.
Found...for $10 bucks at a show a Fobus Ruger SR-22 holster and heated it's distal end and flared it and I can holster the can!!!
Ruger, I believe, if worth the extra $$$.
HKS
I owned the Walther and it was a great little shooter. ... It's made now by a toy company.
The P22 has ALWAYS been made by a toy company. The P22 was introduced in 2002 and it, as well as the PPQ .22 have always been made in Arnsberg, at Umarex, the toy and replica gun company that bought Walther in 1993.

Yes, that's a S&W M&P 22. Walther made them, in their toy factory.
