New from Walther, the updated P22 QD offers the reliability of its predecessor while addressing the two main shortcomings of the original P22—an onerous takedown procedure and a decocker that required pulling the trigger on a chambered round. The company accomplished this by building a decocker into its frame-mounted manual safety mechanism and by redesigning the action to use a captured recoil spring.
