Detailed Features 

 
The PPQ M2 .22 LR uses the same ergonomic polymer frame as the centerfire PPQ, so it handles like a standard-caliber service pistol. The trigger pull is 4.85 lbs with a short reset. The adjustable rear sight lets shooters dial in point of impact for different .22 LR loads. 
 
The threaded barrel accepts suppressors and compensators without modification. At 20.8 oz, this is a light-recoiling pistol suited for extended range sessions. Matte black finish keeps glare low. 
 

Usage Scenarios 

 
The PPQ M2 .22 LR works well as a training companion to a centerfire PPQ, letting shooters practice trigger control and grip at lower cost per round. The adjustable sights and threaded barrel make it useful for suppressed shooting and competitive .22 LR applications. It also suits range plinking and new shooter introduction at a comfortable recoil level.

The Walther PPQ M2 .22 LR gets consistently positive feedback from owners who understand what it is: a training and practice platform built on serious ergonomics.

Accuracy is mentioned frequently. The PPQ trigger, with its 4.85 lb pull and short reset, translates well to the .22 LR format, and owners report good groups at typical pistol distances. The adjustable rear sight gets credit for allowing load-specific zero.

Ergonomics and the transition value to centerfire are brought up often. Shooters who own or train with the PPQ M1 or M2 in 9mm note that the .22 LR version handles identically, making it a cost-effective way to run volume practice without changing grip, trigger, or manual of arms.

The threaded barrel is mentioned positively by owners who run suppressors. For a factory-included threaded barrel at this price point, the value is considered strong.

Low recoil is consistently noted as straightforwardly positive. Beginners can focus on fundamentals without flinching, and experienced shooters can run faster drills with less fatigue.

Negative feedback is limited but worth noting. Aftermarket support is narrower than for more common platforms. A handful of users mention capacity at 12+1 as slightly on the low side compared to some .22 LR competitors. Price sits above budget-tier .22 pistols; most buyers who've handled the gun consider the quality difference worth it.
