Walther PPQ M2 .22lr ~ Full Size Plinker/Trainer
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 чер 2020
- The Walther PPQ 22lr is 1:1 size ratio rimfire version of the "Police Pistol Quick Defence" centerfire pistol. This is the 5" barreled model and it is great for practicing for steel challenge or just plinking or even self defense drills.

Can't have too many 22 pistols. They're all fun in their own way
I guarantee Buffalo would get a perfect score on a military firearms test. It’s ridiculous how good he is.
Long live Ghost! Keep the videos up my bro!
You have a great oratory gift in your presentation, only exceeded by your shooting.
All I know is....if Buffalo starts playing with his hat......its about to be your ass
😂🤣😂🤣
Haha I thought the same thing. He had to adjust his hat between every shot.
"Smarten up my dumb hand". That's awesome!
It's true! LOL thanks for stopping by!
I own a few Walthers... they do make a smooth little pistol. Great video Buffalo!
Thank you Larry. I appreciate you brother!
Thanks for the break down on this, this is my practice firearm, I always refer to your video on the breaking this down. Thanks man, I appreciate it.
Smarten up my dumb hand. Love it. Thanks.😊
I just purchased one and waiting to try , great easy to follow video , Thanks for an open unbiased review.
Thank you Buffalo! Well presented. 🇺🇸
Excellent video, this is my first hand gun. I've been looking for a good video that takes the time to explain the take down. Thank you for the video.
I'm with you Buff. Love them 22's!
Such a great guy, thank you for the review!!!
I love a ported slide, they look awesome! Thanks for sharing your video! 👍
Great video!
I have this gun since 6 years, i love it!
Your gun range is very good
Great demo! In my "held for review" tab I often get a lot of just regular comments dumped in there for no apparent reason.
Thanks Jeff. I can't even see in my held for review folder. It tells me stuff is in there but I can't review it...lol kinda frustrating but it's one of the joys of UA-cam 🤣
Excellent and most helpful review! Nicely done
Yes sir ! I have the shorter barrel version of that, and have run over ten thousand rounds thru it. One of my favorite .22 pistols. Great review as always. Your range sure is a nice place. Beautiful.
Thanks! Glad to hear some feedback from someone who has a high round count through one. I appreciate the comment.
Very well done review - very thorough.
I don’t know why Buffalo doesn’t have much more subscribers...should have with the quality of his videos and great presentations without any bs and unnecessary talk .... but I sure am subscriber here
I have the PPQ M5 Match, I just bought this one online so I can train with it more and not worry so much about the cost of ammo. Can't wait to get it and make some holes. Good stuff.
Purchased a Black Scorpion holster for my PPQ after watching this video. Great recommendation!
Awesome review! Thank you.
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it!
love my ppqs 9mm and 22s, standard slide. 22s are just fun to shoot, but great for training. I should get mine out more
Great guns for sure!~
Love the setup on your ranch there. You guys are so lucky you can shoot a handgun on your own property. Here in Australia we are only allowed to shoot handguns at gun ranger and we can't do all the fun random stuff you could do on your own property. So we can't get all the practice we would want. Love the video. Cheers.
Beautiful firearm
As much as it been raining there lately that may turn into the water buffalo range
FOR REAL!
Sweet little pistol, thanks for sharing.
You're very welcome. Glad you liked it.
Thank you sir for this video. I own a pistol like that and your video was very informative.😃
Thanks, Buffalo
These are very good choices for training. I always justify a .22 like this...The gun is FREE compared to the cost of regular ammo after a few trips to the range.
It is important to practice with the full size gun also, but learning the basics and manual of arms with a .22 is LOT cheaper.
Hammer fired most likely because striker fired .22s are notorious for failures to fire (light primer strikes)
NEED = current inventory + 1.
Thanks Gary. You're spot on with your comment (as usual). It is important to practice with your actual carry gun but the .22 can help you flatten the learning curve.
I enjoy your videos
You know you are in trouble when a man adjusts his hat! 😂
😂🤣😂 That's an old habit from shooting steel challenge. They always had us start with wrists above shoulders and touching my hat always made me legal... THanks for watching!
Outstanding video mister Buffalo👍👍
Thank you kindly!
Very good video sir. Congratulations and thanks for sharing.
Love it !
Excellent vid...
Thanks!
Very good video. Great pistol.
I have the same gun, even 22cal Walthers just perform. Thanks Buffalo.
Glad to here from someone who owns one. Thanks for tuning in Bob!
Excellent review of the PPQ 22 Buffalo! I really like the 5 in version. I am excited to see your bench build, thinking about building a bench on my range as well.
I pulled some plans off the internet and have already bought a few of the materials. Will be getting the rest soon. I will post a video once it's complete!
@@buffalosoutdoors Awesome Buffalo! Looking forward to it! I ended up purchasing the 5 in PPQ 22 based on your great review.
Love 22s, nice shooting!!
Thanks!
That looks like a gun that I would want, May have to look into getting one of those
Good video Buffalo!
Nice gun.
Thank you! Glad you liked it.
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
Thanks, you too!
Great video. Dealer had only Winchester super x 1280 FPS, hollow point ammo when I purchased this gun. I had frequent (more than once per 20 rounds) failure to extract and feed issues with that ammunition. Have since used higher energy hollow point (CCI Velocitor) and round nose Eley target with no issues in last 500 rounds. Accurate, fun gun, but I agree that you will make up for the lower per round cost with more rounds.
Nice review. I want one of these.
Excellent video thinking of getting the walther ppq m2 22 5...
Great video Buffalo! I think I really really need to get one of these!!! You sure are right, it does rain every time you make a video... Got to work on those rain gods LoL
I don't know what I did to upset them but every time I fire up a video camera the rain comes down!
@@buffalosoutdoors maybe when you bring that video camera out just talk out loud"just wanting to see if it broken" LoL. Well it's with a try Buffalo
Great Video! This will likely be my next purchase. I have the Walther PDP in 5”. This would complement it nicely.
Cannot believe no one commented on the lubed up part. Must be a mature audience you have Sir. And since I brought it up, I exposed my immaturity.... Damnit!
😂🤣😂🤣 I've been waiting on someone to mention it!
Just ordered me one. 👍🏽
Good choice!
very informative review!
Thank you! I am glad you liked it!
Great vid!! I’m actually going to buy this pistol off your video
Dang Buffalo, I've always been a firm believer in the double tap and the practice there of ...but triple threat IS good too!
💯❤️🇺🇸 !
2 to the body one to the head. Hearts and minds. 😎 Thanks!~
@@buffalosoutdoors Amen Brother !
With the cost of ammo going up and availability of 9mm, that is an awesome trainer. You may have talked me into one😃
Yeah I love to shoot 9mm but it gets expensive. I reload when I can but even time is tight these days. Thanks!
Nice Mozambique drills at the beginning.
Thank you! Hearts and minds 😉
You're pretty fast Buffalo! Good shooting!
I have been working on it. I used to shoot a little steel challenge but haven't for years.
Awesome shooting.
Thank you John!
Rain don’t hurt Buffalo none.
Not one bit! Now I just need waterproof cameras!
Some fine trigger work Buddy
Thanks man!
That looks like a great little pistol! I am absolutely loving the Glock 44. Between it and my CP33 my 22 ammo bill has went way up and so has my skill level👍🇺🇸
That is good to hear. A lot of the bigger channels were posting negative reviews but mine has been great. These types of pistols are great skills builders!
@@buffalosoutdoors yes it seems to get more views to promote a Glock fail video. Not saying they did lie....mine is a sample of one. I am just saying fail sells. People love negative. Especially when you kick the big dog👍🇺🇸
Thanks a lot for making me spend money again... LOL. Thats a great looking and i bet feeling pistol. I bet it has the Walther Loathar barrel. They are sooo accurate. Awesome vidja friend.
sweet shooter.
Hey man that's a really nice looking pop gun you got there. I've missed a couple of your recent vids, but I'm not blaming YT. I've just been cutting back on vid time.
So take it easy man, and thanks for the videos.😎👍
Most of us need a break from this stuff every now and then anyway. I know I do. I have been cutting back some myself. I have missed a lot of comments lately but it literally takes several hours a day to stay on top of them. I have been just focusing on my most recent videos and letting the others slide just to free up some time.
Would be interesting to see a compare/contrast of the Walther, the TX22, the Smith, any other blow-back slide operated .22LR you have.
I can do that! THanks for the suggestion.
Fn 502 also
Pistols sometimes fit like your favorite pair of shoes. If you pick up one and hit everything you aim at you found a friend for life. If that pistol is one of those you better buy two. I like the long barrel and internal hammer. If you shoot poorly a lighter trigger is no cure for sure. The fixed barrel is supposed to make 22 pistols shoot accurately. The only thing I don’t care for is the little skinny barrel and threaded cap and shroud. However, expensive European air guns use light shrouded barrels to improve accuracy. Kydex holsters are great holsters, but if you bought one for every gun you have; it gets expensive. I can carry different size pistols and revolvers in one inexpensive belt holster. If you don’t have a gun in it you can just leave it on your belt. Every time you pull a gun from a Kydex holster it makes noise. I prefer not making any sound. The only sound I want to make is Bang. I used an Uncle Mikes holster for years they work for so many guns I buy a couple at a time. I use it deer hunting to carry a long barrel revolver too. There just handy little deals that do more than just one thing. Bianchi Speed Strips are great ammo gadgets for 38/357 revolvers. They let you carry extra ammo and are easier to carry than speed loaders and work for more than just one revolver. Uncle Mike’s Supper Belt Slide 86900 holster; Amazon for under $20 dollars. Bianchi Speed Strips two for $10 dollars. Nothing new about this stuff, but they have been around a long time for a reason.
Great commentary Sir. I appreciate you taking the time to leave it!
Great gun and holster as well! Do you also have mag pouches for these mags? If not would you know where to find some?
Thanks.
Trigger seems very similar to my PPQ Q5 - just a bit heavier. I have to give Walther (Umarex?) kudos for being able to do this with a rimfire semi-auto handgun, they didn't just stop in making this identical to the 5" PPQ M2, they actually went out of their way to mimic the trigger which is no small task on a 22lr!
I already ordered this thing for training and handling experience, but I feel like I could easily send a CRAP ton of rounds downrange with this thing if it's a good as everyone says it is. I don't have it yet, but I'd say it seems like one of the best rimfire semi-autos available right now at any price. I just wish they were able to fit more rounds in these 22 pistols. :(
great video bro
Thank you!
I ordered this one in FDE just before the 'shut down of Covid 19, and wouldn't you know , the dealer didn't get around to shipping it until just this past week,..( what's the rush buddy! )
So now, I've been waiting some 6 or 8 weeks to get my hands on this great .22 pistol. I do like Walther`s and according to other reviews this PPQ-M2 .22 is one of the better .22
semi auto pistol in the market place. We ( I ) will soon see, hopefully!
I am very glad that it performed to your approval Buffalo, makes me `need`this one even more now. I`m almost like a child at Christmas Eve, waiting for Santa Claus.
Man I hope you get it soon! Nothing passes time slower than waiting on a new gun delivery! I think you will be happy with this. I have found that mine likes the oil so lube her up good!
@@buffalosoutdoors Oh you're correct on that waiting!
I did note what you said about lubricating the pistol,..I made a mental note to do just that!
Thanks.
Great channel!!
Thank you! I hope you subscribed as I see the "Kentucky" in your user name.
@@buffalosoutdoors Yes sir I have! Ever give any thought to shooting a muzzleloader? Not an inline lol, but a flintlock or a caplock.
Great breakdown and explanation. I was wondering what that hole was for on the front slide.
Thank's for the tip on not dry firing with the .22 , I just picked one up and couldn't find any info on if that was okay or not .
I like the gun
That's a heck of a shirt you got there Buff.
Thank yee!
Dang , you're good !
I appreciate you saying that. Thank yee!
Thanks for the content, originally I thought my man Buffalo done screwed up. Title is 22 but the splatter on the target I thought for sure it was 9mm ooops on my part. Great review good callout on the magazines and nice shooting as always.
Thanks man I really appreciate you stopping by. I know how busy you are working on your own stuff. You do great work for the entire community. Thanks for that.
Dang I like my Walthers anyway. Oh boy that looks so good. And as you say that is a great trainer for my dumb hand too😄. I got to get me one👍👍.
Ha! Thanks Scott. I am trying to smarten my dumb hand up and have somewhat but it still feels so awkward 😂😂
I now also need one!! I'm thinking it would be a blast with one of those machined barrel extensions that usually have baffels inserted into them 🤔 👍👍🇦🇺
YESSIR! It would be great for that!
Just ordered one of these and your video helped me make the decision. Question - any issues with different brands of ammunition?
Hope I can find one in New York ,gotta have it ,I own the ppq match ,this would be a good trainer !
Thank you for uploading this video, need some advice, I have had this same pistol for 3 years and have never been happy with accuracy. Seems to shoot high and right, it's been checked by various people, had rear sight adjusted but to no avail. Love the gun and don't want to part with it, any advice you can give me would be most appreciated
Great shooting..
Thanks man!
@@buffalosoutdoors welcome....
Thank you - Does it have leading issues like the SIG P322?
Awesome review and shooting Sir. If you had to pick between this, the Taurus TX22, or Glock 44, which would you choose?
Buffalo's Outdoors,
As always, I very much enjoyed watching your video. Thank you very much for uploading it.
I have one question though.
A .22lr pistol allows one to practice one's shooting fundamentals very economically.
Unfortunately, one cannot simulate the recoil of more powerful calibers.
Do you know of any .22lr handgun that has a lot of recoil (the more the better, but at least comparable to a small 9mm pistol)?
Thank you very much in advance for taking the time to answer my question.
Hello from israel
love watching you'r video
Impressive handgun skills Can see you've practiced a lot The .22lr pistol is great for training and practice Especially for initiating new shooters
Buffalo your reviews are like going and getting a complete physical. You cover all the bases. Do you or have you shot competition? Looks like you definitely have the skills. Your Buffalo ranges are awesome. My range is more on the billy goat side😁
Thanks! I used to shoot some competition, bullseye and steel challenge mostly, but I was never very good at it. I always found myself trying to help everyone else beat me....LOL Thanks.
One of my biggest pistol regrets is not getting the Walther PPQ 9mm when I used my latest pistol permit. I live in New Jersey (please don't hold this against me I was born here) So, because I live in NJstan pistol permits are a chore to acquire at times. I will eventually get my PPQ. I would also like to get the 22 LR version, as well. Hell, we even need a pistol permit for Pellet pistols purchases and we are back to a 10 round limit from 15 - again! I need to hit the lottery so that I can move my entire family out of here to head West and throw some love to your channel. Give me some numbers, lol. We will split it. Thanks brother. PS. I am happy to say that I just bought a Beretta 1301 Tactical 12 gauge and it is amazing. It will cycle even the lightest loads. I wonder if you've ever tried one out? The comp version is very popular with 3 gun.
Congrats on the 1301! I have not had a chance to try one of those but everything I've read says AWESOME shotty! It's a real shame about the permits and such. That's the literal definition of infringement.
@@buffalosoutdoors Amen, brother.
Great job. I don't see any videos on your channel for a 10/22. I've heard people say the 10/22 could be considered for self defense. I'd like to see your point of view on that.
I always knew that buffalo was your gunfighter name.😀
Nice job on the draw. The time between the draw and the first shot is hard to master but you have it down!
Keep up the good content!
Thank you. I enjoy working on getting better (as a shooter and a content provider)~ 😁
@@buffalosoutdoors I've noticed progression in both skills. Your integrity's always been top notch, imho.
Nice! I think I’ll have to check into one. I was thinking about the Glock 22 but this one looks better to me.
I have both and I do prefer this one. I like the Glock because it is an actual striker fired gun with authentic feel of a striker fired trigger but overall I'd recommend this PPQ over it.
I have the exact 5” PPQ 22LR. Having shot maybe 1500 rnds, it hangs. Next round is loaded, but hammer not cocked. With Federal Match, happens 50%. Even on a clean oiled gun. Trying to figure out what’s happening. Seems to take jacketed better. Ideas? I see you recommend oiling at the range if needed. I’ll try that. But it happened today on a freshly oiled and cleaned PPQ.
Did you get your problem solved? Mine went back to Walther twice. First for a new barrel which only took an eleven day turn around. Then big problems, needed a new slide which was not in stock and took near 2 months. In the mean time I asked them for a 4 inch slide and barrel after waiting a month with no gun and they sent that and it worked perfect. 2 months later I received the 5 inch slide and that now works perfect. They let me keep the 4 in barrel and slide also. They said they knew me on a first name basis after all my calls to customer service. Always best to shoot 40 grain ammo at least 1130 fps. Or lighter grain ammo with very high fps. Thouroly clean and properly oil after every shooting session apprx. 3 to 500 rounds. Aguila 40 and 38gr. Super has been my best reasonably priced go-to ammo,and very accurate for me. So far I have over 12 different 22 caliber ammo types that woork great.
I EDC the Walther PPQ SC in 9mm. This would be a good practice pistol as a companion. Good video!
I am going at this backwards but I think I am going to get the 9mm next!
@@buffalosoutdoors Probably one of the best stock triggers out there. As you said, the ergos are real good too. You're really going to like it, and I hope you'll do a video on it.
I agree 100%. I have both, 9mmsc and 22 m2 and they are a perfect match. 9mm sc has been flawless, the 22 had issues but finally all taken care of after sending it back a couple times. I've got over 3000 rounds on the 22 and probably over a 1000 on the 9mm. Do you have an update on your 9mm sc?
Interesting on the magazines with M&P22.
Are they compatible???
Hey, how did the accuracy test end up? Is there a video? Thanks and cheers from Frankfurt
How is the accuracy compared to "target" pistols like a SW Victory or Browning buckmark or Ruger Mark IV?
Nice video. I remember you from way back when you shared a byline
Hello! I am trying to remember what you're talking about but it has slipped my mind. Good to have you back either way.
@@buffalosoutdoors You had a partner years back doing videos didn't you? Called The Buffalo and someone else show? Something like that. I think.
Build a roof above the bench next month, Chief Black Cloud. Lol. I really enjoy your videos. It surprised me when you shot human today. You rarely miss.
That is a great idea.... I REALLY need to do that! You made me laugh with the Chief Black Cloud remark 😂🤣😂
I want one!
It's a real nice shooter!
