Unlike the centrefire PPQ pistols, the PPQ .22 uses a \u003cstrong\u003estraight-blowback, internal hammer-fired operating system\u003c\/strong\u003e specifically engineered for rimfire ammunition. It combines a polymer frame, lightweight slide assembly, interchangeable backstrap system and detachable magazine in a full-size sporting rimfire platform designed for recreational range and competition use where legally permitted. The PPQ .22 retains many of the handling characteristics that made the broader PPQ family distinctive, including its sculpted ergonomic grip, ambidextrous slide-stop controls and modern accessory interface. Internally, however, Walther redesigned the action around the lower operating energy of .22 LR, resulting in a mechanically different pistol rather than simply converting the standard centrefire PPQ action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWalther PPQ 22LR Key Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e.22 Long Rifle Chambering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Purpose-built for .22 LR rimfire ammunition, giving the PPQ platform a dedicated recreational and sporting rimfire configuration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStraight-Blowback Operation:\u003c\/strong\u003e The PPQ .22 uses a simple blowback operating system in which the slide cycles directly against the recoil spring rather than using the locked-breech system found in centrefire PPQ models.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInternal Hammer-Fired Action:\u003c\/strong\u003e Despite sharing the PPQ name and external styling, the .22 LR model uses an internal hammer rather than the striker-fired mechanism used by the standard centrefire PPQ family.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDedicated Rimfire Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e The slide, barrel, recoil system and firing mechanism were engineered specifically around .22 LR rather than functioning as a conversion unit fitted to a centrefire pistol.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePolymer Frame:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uses Walther's lightweight polymer frame construction with integrated metal components supporting the slide and firing mechanism.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eErgonomic PPQ Grip:\u003c\/strong\u003e The grip uses Walther's contoured PPQ profile with extensive textured surfaces designed to provide consistent contact around the palm, fingers and backstrap.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterchangeable Backstraps:\u003c\/strong\u003e The PPQ platform uses replaceable rear grip inserts on applicable configurations, allowing grip dimensions to be altered without replacing the complete frame.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmbidextrous Slide Stop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slide-stop controls are positioned on both sides of the frame, supporting use by either right- or left-handed shooters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePush-Button Magazine Release:\u003c\/strong\u003e PPQ M2-style .22 models use a conventional frame-mounted push-button magazine catch positioned behind the trigger guard.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDetachable Box Magazine:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uses a removable rimfire magazine designed specifically around the dimensions and feeding requirements of the .22 LR cartridge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable Rear Sight:\u003c\/strong\u003e PPQ .22 configurations are commonly fitted with an adjustable rear sight, allowing the factory sighting system to be mechanically corrected within its adjustment range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Visibility Front Sight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Applicable PPQ .22 sporting configurations use a high-visibility front sight paired with the adjustable rear assembly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccessory Rail:\u003c\/strong\u003e The frame incorporates an integral rail ahead of the trigger guard for compatible sporting accessories where legally permitted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull-Size Sporting Layout:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rather than using a substantially reduced compact frame, the PPQ .22 retains the proportions and ergonomics of a full-size modern handgun platform.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Walther","offers":[{"title":"Calibre - .22 LR \/ Black","offer_id":67828395737409,"sku":"SN-PPO20054","price":399.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/6475\/3217\/files\/SecondHandFirearm-WaltherPPQ22LRSemi-AutoRimfirePistol.jpg?v=1791431286","url":"https:\/\/venturehunting.com.au\/products\/second-hand-firearm-walther-ppq-22lr-semi-auto-rimfire-pistol","provider":"Venture Hunting","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
