So many guns, so little time - and money.

Ruger, are you listening? Since Ruger just brought out a .22 pistol that looks quite similar to the Walther, I wonder if Ruger might try the laser as well. I can see that this pistol might have some application in dealing with little creatures that move quite rapidly when discovered.

Have owned a P22 for several years now. Love it! Accurate as hell when I do my part, have even carried it off-duty a time or 2(TELL me you wouldn't feel it with a bunch of .22 HP's in your face!!) Of course I just plunked down the bucks for the laser made especially for this piece!!!! Never fails..........! Was able to shoot a Ruger P22 clone last week that a local dealer got in(no idea how he got it so early!), wasn't impressed---shotgun-like groups no matter what ammo I used, jams of all sorts. Only good thing is the interchangeable grip panels which might help some although I've never needed any with the P22. Next acquisition? A suppressor, of course.
