Thanks, Scott. I’ve had a couple of people point out the “P22 Bible” that’s listed in the Walther pistol forum. I saw it probably a week or two ago while researching this model. Lots of good information there, and a takedown that’s probably father than I would ever go.
No interest in personal protection here, just target shooting for the wife so she can get out on the range with the boys and their bigger pistols. For that matter, I can’t see a lot of value in a .22 for personal protection myself - you would probably just make the victim mad, not hurt them…. I love my PPQ as far as the grip goes. I have big hands but I didn’t need to change the backstrap from the standard one that came on the pistol from Walther. I’m getting my finger/trigger technique down now so I’m pulling consistently. I shot steels last week and probably hit about 80% of them, maybe more. -D > On Nov 10, 2017, at 12:40 AM, Scott Ritchey via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > Dan, > I have had a P22 for several years and it's a sweet little pistol.
