So, when I recently drooled over a newer Ruger Mark III 22/45 Hunter with polymer frame, fluted stainless barrel, fiber-optic front sight, adjustable rear sight, and a grip modeled after the famous Colt Model 1911, Ursula whipped out her credit card and insisted I acquire it. Many years ago I owned a Ruger Mark II target pistol and had fond memories of it. The version I own is much closer in appearance to the P99.
The P22 is currently in its second iteration, now more closely resembling Walther’s PPQ. The Walther P22 also offers adjustable sights for long-distance target practice and replaceable grip back straps to customize how the butt of the weapon fits in your hand. The ambidextrous magazine release built into the trigger guard further emulates current Walther designs, although the levers are much smaller and therefore more difficult to manipulate than on Walther’s full-size weapons. It has a single-action/double-action trigger, an ambidextrous external safety that operates in the same direction as older Walther models, and a grip similar to more modern Walther products such as the P99 and the newer PPQ. I’ve owned a Walther P22 target pistol for several years now, and it makes a really great training weapon. Less recoil means you can better see if you’re flinching as you pull the trigger, and that makes for better control and greater accuracy later on when you shoot the big stuff. The recoil is considerably less than defensive calibers.
The ammunition is cheap, making gun practice affordable.
