I'm looking at a Walther P22 for a plinking pistol and to gut shoot squirrels with. Anyone own or fire one? Any thoughts on the compensator on the end of the 5" barrel model? Any suggestions of other makes/models I should look at?

Yeah, leave the squirrels alone.

All squirrels can be encouraged by planting oaks, hazel and beech.
I thought they are hibernating just now so shoot acorns.

Isn't there an old Norwegian woodman's saying: "He who feels the need to shoot squirrels has small penis."?

I'm sure there is.

I've never been fond of semi-auto .22s in general . They just don't seem to be able to consistantly generate enough pressure to operate a clean eject reliably , and jam a lot . It may work fine at first , but as soon as they get the slightest bit dirty the problem crops up . And autos are hard to clean . I recommend the Ruger single six revolver . Easy to clean , rugged , reliable . Plus it has the added advantage of having a .22 magnum cylinder which is easy to switch to . You have not had fun until you've spattered god's little creatures with a .22 mag. ! It packs a nice whallop for anything cute and squirrel sized . (Any rabbit hit squarely looks like he threw himself on a little grenade .)

Have fun !

I thought they got their small (what is the pural of penis?) from the squirrels pinchinching their nuts.

What if there is eternal justice and God turns the squirrel on you?
Who whould you ask for mercy first:God or the squirrel?
If I was the squirrel I would say Meet Your maker Mr Big 22.
As a squirrel I would not me able to forgive.

Then you would perpetuate sin by being prideful and unforgiving....

The squirrels are asking for it. Little blighters flit around with their fuzzy tails, chatter at you and fling nuts at people. They're a menace, basically rats with fuzzy tails and should be exterminated.

As for God sending his eternal justice my way, I don't recall the Bible having a "Thou shalt not snuff out squirrels" commandment. I bet Jesus would laugh hysterically if he could see me shoot the evil fuzz balls with high caliber rounds like a .308 hollow point. Jesus hates squirrels.

Plus, the real question is not whether or not you're a squirrel loving, bleeding heart vegan liberal, but, what you know about the .22 Cal Walther P22. Obviously nothing, so take your crazy pro-squirrel propaganda elsewhere, we're all full up on crazy here.

Warmest Regards,

Squirrel Nemesis, The Hand of Hecate
