Yes, do plan on obtaining a .22LR either as a conversion or a stand alone. I must say I have gone through about 5 Walther P22 in the last 5 years.

Why a .22?

1) Training for new shooters
2) fun plinker to just shoot the heck of a good time
3) cost of ammo
4) trigger time

So, I shoot a lot. Okay let me define a lot. In less than 2 years alone I must of gone through 3 cases of Remington Golden Bullet (550 per pack x 12 boxes per case). That's about 20,000 rounds (I got them when they were on sale for $9.50) per box. Plus I shot about a case of 45ACP, 2 cases of 40 and so far have gone through 1.5 cases of 357Sig (great deal from Georgia Arms on frangible target rounds).

Now especially in today's age of high cost ammo. A 22LR is great to have. Whatever set up you choose be it stand alone .22 or conversion it's a great idea.
