Walther PPQ M2 22 Long Rifle 4in Matte Black Tenifer Pistol — 10+1 Rounds

Overview — PPQ M2 22LR: the ultimate rimfire trainer that feels like your duty pistol

The Walther PPQ M2 22 Long Rifle 4-inch brings the ergonomics, trigger feel, and controls of the full-size PPQ family into an economical, low-recoil rimfire package. With a 10+1 capacity, threaded barrel, ambidextrous controls and adjustable rear sight, this model is built to be a practical 22 LR practice pistol for shooters who want to buy a PPQ 22 that mirrors their centerfire carry gun. Use it for inexpensive range practice, precision dry-fire training, or as a dedicated rimfire trainer that fits standard PPQ holsters for consistent draw and carry training.

Why the PPQ M2 22LR is a top pick (buyer intent)

Many shoppers searching for keywords like “Walther PPQ M2 22,” “PPQ 22 for sale,” “buy PPQ 22 LR,” or “best rimfire trainer” choose this model because it delivers the same ergonomics and controls as the 9mm PPQ while using affordable .22 Long Rifle ammo for practice. This pistol is aimed at buyers who want to purchase a reliable 22 LR training gun that reduces range costs but preserves real-world handling: ambidextrous slide stop, reversible magazine release, polymer frame with interchangeable backstrap, and a threaded barrel for future suppressor use where legal.

Who should buy this pistol

• Shooter looking to buy a PPQ 22 to match their centerfire PPQ for training and carry practice.
• New shooters who want a low-recoil, easy-to-control pistol for building fundamentals.
• Range regulars who want a cost-effective trainer for marksmanship and rapid-fire drills.
• Collectors and enthusiasts seeking a quality rimfire pistol with full-size ergonomics and threaded-barrel versatility.

Performance, handling & range use

Out of the box the PPQ M2 22LR feels familiar to any PPQ owner: the trigger characteristics, grip angle, and controls are purposefully consistent so muscle memory transfers directly from 22 LR practice to 9mm or .40 platforms. The 4.0″ barrel and extended sight radius improve precision, and the adjustable rear sight lets you fine-tune windage and elevation for the ammunition you run.

At roughly 19 oz unloaded, the rimfire PPQ is light enough for extended sessions yet stable enough to mitigate muzzle flip and encourage rapid follow-up shots. The threaded barrel means you can add a thread protector or a suppressor (where legal) later, further reducing report and improving follow-up accuracy during training.

Practical features that matter

• Ambidextrous slide stop & reversible mag release — fits left- and right-handed shooters.
• Threaded barrel — future-proof for suppressors and thread-mounted accessories where permitted by law.
• Interchangeable backstraps — tune grip circumference for optimal trigger reach and control.
• Adjustable rear sight — dial in point of impact for different 22 LR loads.
• PPQ holster compatibility — many owners use existing PPQ holsters for consistent training draws.

Recommended accessories & setup

To get the most from your PPQ M2 22LR:

• Test several brands of .22 LR ammo (subsonic and standard velocity) to find the best function and accuracy in your pistol.
• Fit a thread protector or (where legal) a sound moderator to reduce report during dry-fire or suppressed live-fire sessions.
• Add spare 10-round magazines to speed reload practice and increase range time efficiency.
• Use a holster designed for the PPQ footprint so your draw mechanics match your centerfire training gun.

Care & maintenance

Rimfire ammunition leaves more fouling than centerfire rounds, so clean the bore, chamber, and breechface regularly. A simple cleaning routine after extended sessions keeps reliability high and maintains the Tenifer finish. Inspect magazine springs periodically if you use the pistol heavily for training.
