I have one that is blue, not stainless steel, that I bought about 15 years ago for $400. The extra magazines are difficult to find now in .22 LR.

Unequivocally, yes.
Just know that your new pistol hales from The South- Alabama to be correct.
I am not up on the specifics as to when the importation stopped or when the wholesale channel dried up of the German manufactured ones. I do know that they were expensive then, and they are still expensive currently if found.
I do own one of the stainless versions of a baby Browning though.

Couple of months ago, I saw one for sale at a shop I frequent. Nice gun but gun & one mag only was maked $499.99. Cute but wasn't worth the money to me.
Stopped in again a few weeks later. Gun was gone. And this shop isn't one to dicker much on price. Especially recently.

If you don't buy it, someone else will.
That's not meant to bad-mouth the TPh. They are nice little guns. If I hadn't weakened and bought a Seecamp, I would probably still be using my TPh.

Probably in the price range as noted. However... Interarms made TPH pistols - as opposed to the rare in the U.S. German ones - are notorious for rarely functioning well.
The Interarms / Walther TPH in 22lr usually go for around $450+ that I've seen. Sometimes you can get the box and papers with them in the upper price ranges. The German Walther made ones are normally twice the price, or more if the seller knows what he has.
The TPH in 22 are neat little pistols but the 2 I had were jamm-a-matics. I've heard & read alot of others haveing the same problems but some folks have excellent service from them.
Even with my prior experience with them, I'd buy the one at that price in a minute. It's a keeper if you like it,,and a profit maker if you want to turn it over.
Too bad it wasn't a German made Model 'TP'

Thanks boys, I appreciate the feedback from all of you. I spoke with the previous owner and he said it really likes Stingers to function well. Other ammo could be problematic at times. Neat little gun nonetheless and a plus with the extra mags. Thanks again, Shoo

Shoo I've been told that the .22 lr were as said jamomatics but I had one in .25 acp and it Never had a bit of trouble. If you do get it let me know and I'll give you a ankle holster I have.

it's a notorious hand biter, but buy it anyway. Band-Aids are cheap.

Some people may have had problems with jamming, but mine has been 100% reliable with high velocity ammunition. I used to carry my TPH until the powers that be decided that a .22 LR was too small.
It was my TPH that I had with me 11 years ago when I was accosted in San Francisco by three street bums who wanted my camera. The TPH may have been small and it may have been "only" a .22, but you should have seen the look on one bum's face when he saw that I wasn't a helpless victim. I swear that his eyes opened up so big that I thought they were going to fall out of his face.

I have a Beretta 21A in 22RF, and it seems like all the pocket 22's I have handled will only function reliably with High Velocity ammo. Mine will keep 30 rounds on a standard B2 target at 50 ft, but the score won't be very high.

I'd jump on it. The one I had (early production) would only function reliably with Stingers.
I bought one last year with box, two mags, and manual for $350. The mags can be expensive and hard to find. It has been 100% reliable so far with standard or high velocity ammo. I don't shoot the promotional loads though. It's in the mid T033XXX sn range.
They are handy little pistols.

Hi Shoo!
I hope you and Mrs. Shoo are doing well. I had a buddy (LEO) who used to have one that he used as an ankle gun. As mentioned by others, it functioned well with CCI Stingers, but not as well with other ammo. If you buy it, please let me know as I have a brand new Tex Shoemaker (left handed) IWB holster that I would love to gift you with.
Best regards,
Dave

I had one that I received in college from a roommate who had to pay off a debt to me. I loved it, carried it as a back up to the back up and it functioned 100% with Stingers or any of the "higher powered" HP rounds. It had problems with the standard velocity stuff.
I sold it. I now wish I hadn't and might pick up another if it comes across and the price is right.

The one that was stolen from me was excellent, but like others have posted, some people had problems with theirs.

I'd jump on it for $249. The magazines, especially in .22, are scarce and expensive and if that gun comes with three, that's worth an extra $75 IMO. I had one years ago that was very reliable.
