Walther Serial Numbers P224/21/2021
I bought the first P22 I saw available in early 2002, and I believe its one of the first 2600 or so manufactured, out of maybe half a million (estimated) that have been made to date.I cant think of another firearm that has gained such popularity in 10 years since its introduction.

How old is your example as problems seem to plague the earlier examples to a greater extent than the newer ones BTW: Ive had reliability problems with a Chiappa 22 cal Colt 1911 look alike. Again a neat design plagued with reliability problems. I had to changemodify some of the internals to get it to function reliably. Jim I do not know the manfactured date but it was bought new June 07. Walther S P22 Serial Number Letter EarlierFrom what I have read those with a serial number letter earlier than L are the ones that give problems.
