[...] I mentioned the problems I was having with the Walther P22 in this review. I thought I had managed to fix the problem of the magazine ejecting by modifying my shooting grip. Well, that only worked one day. Since, it has done it again. I’ve even had two other people shoot it to make sure it wasn’t me and they had the same problem. So, I called Smith and Wesson, who imports the Walther. I talked to a guy and told him the problem. Without hesitating, he told me that he would be sending me a UPS call tag and that I could ship it back to them and they would either fix it or replace it. Now, that’s service. It’s not often that I’m impressed with customer service anywhere and gun manufactures are notorious for providing bad customer service. I was pleasantly surprised by this and think it speaks volumes.

“Get rid of the magazine disconnect safety. I cannot decock the pistol without a magazine inserted into the magwell. Why is that considered safer?”

Hmmm… I’m generally in favor of magazine disconnects, but that it is a big downside.

I have a Gemtech Outback II and all I can say is it rocks! Very, very quiet.

I have heard that AAC has poor customer service. They went so far as to “threaten” someone for posting negatively about there product on ar15.com.

The Gemtech is likely the better silencer, but it’s also more expensive by far than the TAC, I can’t speak for the AAC though.

The crap was added to allow Walther to import it.

Blame Customs and the BATFE.

“It�s like this thing was made for California or something.”

IIRC, California has banned this pistol because of the threaded barrel. They did it retroactively after having first said it was okay .
