| Some sights have been reported to change the point of aim but I’ve outfitted both of mine with Trijicon three dot night sights originally made for the P99 and they’ve been dead-on.

And let’s go ahead and call a spade a spade; polymer means plastic. I would encourage anyone from new shooters to experienced to give one a try here with us at the Range of Richfield. I sincerely hope that these guns see an increase in third party support as they absolutely deserve the recognition. The predecessor to the PPQ 22 is the P22, a pistol which seems to have a mixed history of its own. The ergonomics and controls are all the same, but the 22 model does not have a removable back panel. |

| The trigger on this pistol is so fantastic that it’s the foundation for the very name of the series. The Walther PPQ M2 is a "definite buy" for someone looking for a reliable, accurate, capable and durable defensive pistol. This can affect the accuracy of a pistol, but it shouldn’t prevent a shooter from being, at the very least, practically accurate. The rest of the firearm resisted the elements pretty well but the sights, we found, were not coated. I want something I don’t need to wipe down with oil every time I handle it. Since I’m no longer "on the job," I’ll tell you that I don’t carry a spare magazine on me when I carry a pisto | The Range Hours |
