Walther "PPQ M2" 22.LR Pistol

[@BongoBill]

You saved the day for me. I’m relatively new to shooting and I love my POQ M2 22 LR . I cleaned it but couldn’t reassemble it. This is a brilliant video . Thanks very much . All the best to you.

[@ChrisDavis-lv6gf]

An extremely reliable .22 and a striker ... (yeah, I know, internal hammer) to boot... plus a 9mm of the exact dimension for an EDC. My wife has been wanting something like this, buying one tomorrow.

[@ozziereviews]

Cool, I'm sure she'll like it

[@allenw969]

Excellent review. Well done. I have a Walther PPQ M2 9mm. It is accurate and has a very smooth trigger. My hands have become increasingly recoil sensitive in recent years, so now I am using the PPQ .22lr. It has the same excellent ergonomics but is much lighter than the 9mm. There is no restriction on minimum barrel length here in the USA (well, at least not in Texas), so I have the four inch barrel version. I carry it all day every day.

[@dTheHammerb]

Pretty well the best pistol on the planet. Love it!

[@MrTdw1954]

Nice review and very good production on the video. Subscribed.

[@davidthomas4324]

Another fantastic unbiased review, well done mate.

[@ozziereviews]

Thanks Dave...

[@kevinfromwebb]

Enjoyed the review... I'm here in the Dallas area... I picked one of these up at the gun show and it did feel real good In the hand... It's going to be my next .22 purchase... We have the choice of three barrel lengths but I'm looking at the version you've got... I really like the fiber optic front sight, the longer barrel and the fact that it's full size, not downsized like a lot of .22 pistols... Oh, and just to rub it in, we get the 12 round mags.... Keep up the good vids...

[@ozziereviews]

LOL no worries Kev, but I have an occupational licence for handguns so I too have no mag size restriction :)

[@nowhereman108]

Excellent review. Thanks!

[@leftcoaster67]

I have the Walther PPQ Navy 9mm Best handgun I've ever owned! That trigger is amazing, and accurate as hell. Love it! I know what you mean on the cost of firearms, it's similar in Canada, yet we're next door to the US.

[@ozziereviews]

Yeah it's a good pistol that's for sure… as for the prices, we have higher wages down here and I understand there's taxes etc but sometimes as you say, it makes you wonder how the price is justified as being almost double of the US market price…

[@OilBaron100]

Great video. Have just bought one of these

[@towingtowing]

Just ordered one today. Can't wait.

[@ozziereviews]

Congratulations, let me know your range report when you get it ok?

[@bren3769]

Excellent review Oz, very slick camera work. I'm an instructor and will be using this in class. Thanks a lot

[@ozziereviews]

+bren homan No problem, do you run safety courses?

[@bren3769]

Yes mate, I run safety courses here in Dublin. And with your kind permission I'll show your vid on the next one, It's short, sweet and to the point. And, like the old saying," A picture paints a thousand words" ......................Thanks.

[@ozziereviews]

Ok no problem

[@2549Discovery]

Great review. Thanks!

[@BAdventures]

Nice review, thanks for sharing Ozzie =)

[@jeffreymliss]

Not sure about the conversion, but here in the US the PPQ .22 LR is selling for about $370 USD.

[@ozziereviews]

Unfortunately Jeff we pay a lot more in Australia for firearms…

[@TindogTravels]

+Jeff Liss brought one today $975 AU

[@MaiaCoimbra]

great review dude Thanks

[@ozziereviews]

+Maia Coimbra Thanks for watching :)

[@heapscurley]

First things first, great review mate! best one Ive seen on you tube... was tossing up between this and the SR22 and you've made my decision easy Love to see a review on the 92FS if u ever get the chance..cheers. subscribed..

[@ozziereviews]

Terry mist Thanks Terry, I appreciate that, yep I will put it on the 'to-do' list, cheers...

[@SimmoAusful]

Nice review mate. Seems you get a new toy monthly :D

[@ozziereviews]

When I can afford it or when a company sends me something to look at :)

[@treebs9516]

Great review... tossing up between this gun ,beretta 92fs22 and buck mark contour 5.5 22. I used a guys ppq22 at my gun club and he had a lot of troubles and the gun shoots left due to a trigger issue. He had it fixed but it still pulls left and isnt accurate. This is obviously his gun not all ppq22? I shoot one hand 25m targets at my club. In your opinion which is the better accurate gun? They all feel good in my hand.

[@JohnGrayLawfirmmarketer]

Thanks for the review. I think you're just about the first person worldwide to do a good video review of this model. I'm thinking about this as a first pistol for myself. But do you think a beginner mainly doing 25 metre shoots at this stage would be better off with a mark III or 22A if it meant having a 7 inch barrel?

[@ozziereviews]

Thanks for watching John, I think it is the only M2 rimfire review at the moment… I reviewed the Ruger MKIII target (5.5" barrel) and honestly nothing beats that pistol in terms of accuracy and price, so if you want something that is super accurate, the MKIII target is a good choice, however if you want something that is stylish and still accurate, the PPQ M2 is a good choice, it just depends on what your really want from the pistol…

[@JohnGrayLawfirmmarketer]

***** Thanks Ozzie. Appreciate your comments. Hard to know as a beginner what will suit best and type of shooting you'll end up doing but I think you're right about the markIII. Hard to beat. Have used a few at the club and even the pretty cheap 7 inch 22A shoots pretty well. But that PPQ M2 just looks so good....hmmm....

[@ozziereviews]

Yeah the M2 does look good and let's be honest it shoots well too, so you need to ask yourself this question: are you wanting to win or at least try to win every competition you go in or are you happy to shoot well and just have fun in the competitions? If you really like the look of the M2 buy it, you can always get a MKIII later or vice versa...

[@JohnGrayLawfirmmarketer]

***** Finally got one of these last week after about a 4 month wait for new stock to come into Oz. Very happy with it so far. Gave it an initial strip and clean then shot a ISSF match with it after only a dozen or so sighters. Managed a new personal best (bearing in mind I'm a new to pistol shooting, weekend plinker not a comp shooter) so can't complain about the accuracy or performance. Trigger was initially pretty heavy and a little gritty but after about 250 rounds now it's smooth, lighter and breaks nicely. Not a choice for olympic target shooters but good enough for a solid D grader in ISSF with the look and feel of its 9mm big brothers. And great fun on the plates!

[@ozziereviews]

Thanks for your comment John, I'm glad to see you're happy with the pistol mate!

[@TimScharinger]

Hi, nice review. Maybe you can help me answer a question; compared to a Walther GSP, 22lr, how much harder is it to do precision shooting with a PPQ? And is the trigger on a PPQ better than on a GSP?

[@FairladyS130]

Good review, better than most, but having a five inch barrel makes accuracy a relevant consideration here in Australia. Just because it's a light weight polymer it does not in my opinion follow that accuracy will suffer, this review unfortunately hardly addressed that important point. It's not a target pistol but that does not mean it can't be an accurate enough gun for some of us casual target shooters. So?

[@richardf9137]

Good shooting Brother!!

[@ozziereviews]

Thanks Richard...

[@samdoughty1968]

Hey, great review. just wondering about the thread adaptor you mentioned in this video, cant seem to find them on brownells web site. are they legal in aust? Found heaps on ebay, they don't ship to aust. thanks.

[@ozziereviews]

sam doughty They are only a change in thread size, so they are completely legal here… just search 'thread adapter' on Brownells and you'll see a few come up

[@kirkyatras8333]

Looks very much like the P22Q design.

[@cutto2]

the PPQ m2 is what the P22Q should have been build like from the start from what i have read and seen online. I'm a die hard 1911 guy i have the gsg 1911 with the mods to make it work which should have been fartory standard, IF i had the money i would buy both the 9mm and .22 m2 in a hart beatand the 1911's would be safe queens. :)

[@atillakolik7321]

Will you be reviewing the 9mm version as well?

[@ozziereviews]

Not sure at this stage but if people want to see it, 'thumbs up' this comment…

[@notexactlycheese]

Hi mate just wondering where you purchased the weapon from for that price? QGE is selling it at $994 which is abit over the RRP

[@ozziereviews]

I have since been told that $785 was the show retail, so there was some mix up when they told me that price… still I think you should be able to get it cheaper then $994 surely…

[@dTheHammerb]

5" right? I wasn't to sure if you mentioned if it was the 5" version in .22 in your video

[@glenngoldcoast2525]

Hi, I am looking at the walther ppq 22 or similar. I have been an ISSF shooter before with some decent guns and never got over c grade - so its me not the equipment... Consequently I want a plinker that is good enough for ISSF events in a fun way. I have tried the clubs walther ppq a few times and found the trigger gritty and hard to get to break - useless as is for any timed event. It feels nice in grips and sights but that trigger. What is your view after a few months (assuming you still have one)?. I don't see much after market trigger parts available. Would I be better off with a colt gold cup 22 because of the parts availability?

[@ozziereviews]

If you want to lighten the trigger, the Colt 1911 in 22 would be better, I dropped a wilson combat sear and disconnector in mine and it was smooth as after that… so that would be my advice

[@Boki_00]

Hi, I bought this pistol as well. You are shooting high just like I did when I took it out for the first time this past weekend. I wonder if this pistol is set up to shoot high. I ran 200 rounds through a target and if they were just 10-15 cms lower they'd be hitting the target. The rear sight is adjustable, but I didn't have a screw driver with me at the range. I'll make sure to bring one next time. My CZ P-09 was hitting around the bullseye. I know it has to be the gun not me. I even used a rifle rest and ran 20 rounds through a target. They were all too high. Have you tried adjusting the rear sight yet?

[@ozziereviews]

This is common with the Walther pistols (my Colt 22 made by Walther did the same thing) but I found out further at 25-50 I was hitting all the targets so I didn't bother with any adjustments…

[@user-cr5sg3so4y]

It's set to aim black 6 for papertargets! It's the common seting in Europe. Only duty pistols shoot to the center.

[@xepharaoh3498]

How does this compare to the M&P 22 compact? Looking for okay reliability with different ammo.

[@ozziereviews]

Xe Pharaoh At this stage I haven't used the M&P compact so I can't comment sorry...

[@molnii48150]

Do you know are the PPQ M2 magazines interchangeable with the P22 magazines or are they different? Thanks for the great review!

[@ozziereviews]

I don't know as I haven't tried them but the P22 magazines look different to me, so I'd guess that they aren't interchangeable…

[@landerbouma9972]

Different. The p22 and ppks mags are proprietary as well.

[@samdoughty1968]

hey, just wondering if you can tell me if the walther ppq m2 .22 is the same size as the colt .22. I have shot the colt, but want to buy a walther, I have been told they are smaller. cant decide between them both, im left handed and are keen on the moveable mag release. which one do you think is better overall, thanks

[@ozziereviews]

+sam doughty They are both made by Walther so you have the same pistol to a degree... They are roughly the same size, just a different body that's all...

[@johndeere1951a]

Are you going to adjust the sight to lower the poi ?

[@exionem]

Nice review, how would you compare it accuracy wise, to the Colt Rail/Gold Cup 1911 / 22 ?

[@ozziereviews]

The same to be honest

[@exionem]

Spot on, thanks!

[@exionem]

I was wondering since the 1911 seems like a much more heavier pistol. Anyways, thanks.

[@TheHarjaap]

does anyone have a link to a video showing how to change where the magazine release is located?

[@mattavery2891]

think i found the one i want

[@ozziereviews]

Cool, let me know how it goes for you when you get it mate!

[@Gigante294]

This review was the decider for me to get my first pistol being this Walther ppq m2 in 22lr :D, just picked it up today and put 100 rounds through it at the range (after cleaning of course) before going home. absolutely loved it you did not understate it in this review at all. i believe it was spot on!

[@Gigante294]

Hi John, yes this pistol is amazing to shoot it seems fairly accurate (i am still a beginner so i cant say that its me or the pistol that didn't shoot well ahahah) the last time i went to the range i put 150 cci standard rounds through it and it shot great. Its a great gun if its your first or 50th :D i highly recommend it

[@owl4535]

Do a gun safe/ gun room video please

[@haroldmcdaniel9989]

Better let Hickock do the shooting.

[@edwardfain6236]

how hard is it to to get a license to obtain a high capacity magazine?

[@ozziereviews]

+Edward Fain That doesn't make sense... what do you class as high capacity?

[@edwardfain6236]

anything above 10 rounds

[@ozziereviews]

Take a look at my Australian Gun Laws video, it will answer a lot of your questions...

[@pv4444]

What do these retail for in nsw??

[@NaturGast]

Can one also attach a sound absorber to this weapon?

[@geezerp1982]

[@ozziereviews]

No

[@FairladyS130]

Yeh I was wondering about that seeing it's a two piece tensioned barrel.

[@Pottan23]

What material is the slide made of?

[@ozziereviews]

Pottan23 Metal alloy

[@roul3688]

Pottan23 aluminum
