I think the main problem is that it's a shitty Walther labeled Umarex pistol. (Compare the symbols near the "CIP" (in German Beschusszeichen). Weapons from Walther in Ulm have an antler, from Walther in Arnsberg (=Umarex) have three crowns.)

The quality is poor. Never pull the trigger while the slide is removed or the released hammer will break the system plate!

I compared my 5" PPQ M2 .22 with my 9 mm Q5 Match in a Ransom Rest at 25 m (approx 25 yards). Each one with different kind of ammo and even the worst 9×19 mm ammo needed only about half of the target area than the best .22.
Since then I've never again used the .22 (didn't cleaned it, too)!

I don't think it's that bad!

Pistols of this type are typically somewhat problematic. I have a Taurus TX22, and it had some issues initially. It's made in the U.S. I wouldn't say the quality is any better or worse than the PPQ22. Accuracy is about the same for both.

It does sound like the OP's PPQ has some type of problem. I usually get somewhere around 2" groups at 30 feet off-hand with mine. My High Standard target pistol gets me less than half that.

The PPQ22 is a fun pistol to shoot, but has its limitations.

It's still my favorite pistol of the type though.

Yes, it is that bad. Mine is very accurate at 30 yards on an 8-inch plate or 2 inch groups on 3-inch paper targets at 15 feet. But it is a pot metal/plastic pellet pistol upgraded(?) to a .22. Mine has already been back to Walther(?) in Ft. Smith, AR for slide side plate damage repair. My service reps's email address was xxx.xxx@umarexusa.com. Other than that, it shoots well and feels good. I'm just afraid every time I go to the range, something will break, and I don't dare attempt to use HV ammo.

It's not pot metal. The PPQ slide is machined from solid aluminum - unlike the P22 which has a cast "pot metal" slide.

The receiver is just like any other polymer pistol. It doesn't look or feel cheap.

There's no reason to use HV ammo, but I wouldn't say you have any concerns if you do. Overall it's a lot higher quality than the more popular P22.
