Sentinel Stainless Steel Captured Spring Guide Rod for Walther® P22®

Excellent upgrade. Walther should have these in springs in their pistols from day one. Easy to install and is soooo much easier to re-assemble the gun.

This made all the difference for me with my Walther P22. I was having problems with re assembly after cleaning my gun. I think I was bending the recoil spring just a little. This took care of the problem and my weapon no longer jams at the range. I love it. A weapon that is unreliable is not worth much. Thanks for such a great product.

I have no idea why the Walther did design it like this in the first place. I hated cleaning my P22 because of that darn spring. Nothing like holding onto a compressed spring after oiling the firearm. honestly, the first range day was rough. I had a lot of partial cycles. After taking it home, oiling it well and reassembling, range day two was 90% better. Day three and beyond was perfect. So happy to have this little guy.

Without this great innovation I would have returned my P22 to the store. It was impossible to get back together and even the gun store had a difficult time showing me that it could be done. I purchased this which makes owning the gun a pleasure. Its a required must-have if you own a p22.

I have no idea why Walther doesn t make a captured recoil guide/spring standard- it truly makes reassembly a snap and improves overall feel of the slide movement. It is probably the best $20 upgrade for your P22 and should last for a long time.

This captured spring and guide rod assembly makes cleaning so much easier. The P22 has always been a pleasure to shoot but cleaning with the factory guide rod/spring was a real pain. This makes it so much easier.

Well, this replacement spring did not fix all my ejection issues. My Walther P22 only likes Blazer ammo so far, but this replacement spring did make reassembling my gun after cleaning much easier. Not sure why this spring style isn't standard already, but glad I found it.

Purchased this Captured Spring by Tandemcross for my Walther P22 after realizing the version I bought came with the old un-captured spring and kept jamming on me. I purchased the gun in June of 2021 to plink around since the cost of ammo has gone through the roof and thought I would be getting the updated P22 with the captured spring that I saw in a YouTube video on the firearm. After taking the gun to the range for the first time and having constant jamming issues, I thought I'd take it apart to oil it a little and found I had the old uncaptured spring. Argued with the store I bought it from and said, the hell with them, I'll never walk in there again and found Tandemcross. This product made a world of difference. I shot about 100 rounds with the new captured spring and so far 100% cycle rate using various .22 ammo. Highly recommend this if your P22 still has the uncaptured spring. I still will never rely on my P22 as an everyday carry because of all the issues I initially had but at least I'm having fun plinking around with it now.

This guide rod was the first upgrade to my Walther P22 which fixed the recoil problem. The 2nd upgrade you need is a better extraction arm to eject spent cartridges. Now you have a semi-auto shooter.
