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. A semi-automatic pistol chambered in .22 Long Rifle, the P22 QD feeds from 10-round detachable box magazines, features interchangeable backstops, is available in several colors, and there’s even an SKU that comes paired with a laser sight from the factory.
