Having issues cycling low power "bulk" 22 ammo? Using a reduced power recoil spring may help alleviate the problem. The factory recoil spring in the Walther PPQ-22 is approximately 4 pounds. Our reduced power recoil spring is approximately 3.3 pounds. The reduction in spring weight may help your pistol cycle lower power ammo for more reliable function. The ammo has to overcome the tension of the recoil and striker/hammer springs in the gun. Reducing the tension on the springs may help with reliability. There is no guarantee that changing to a lighter recoil spring will solve the problem 100% since the ammo still has to over come the spring tension of the striker/hammer spring. But this is a low cost, simple method that may work for your gun and ammo.

Keep in mind this is a new spring and therefore it has not yet "set" or been compressed yet. So the first time you install it may seem too long but it is the correct length and will become shorter after being compressed. See the installation instructions for a tip to install new recoil springs in Walther type 22LR pistols.

Installation Instructions RESTRICTIONS
 

1) Pull down the takedown catch

2) pull back the slide all the way to the rear and pull up the back side of the slide.

3) While holding the rear section of the slide up allow the side to move forward and come off the frame.

4) Remove the old recoil spring.

5) Install the new recoil spring and reverse steps 1-4. Using a rod the diameter of the internal diameter of the spring will aid in guiding the spring onto the guide rod while assembling the gun. (See the photos below).

4 of 5 Walther PPQ 22 Reduced Power Recoil Spring Wednesday, September 23, 2026
Reviewer: MIKE D from Charleston, WV United States  
The lower power recoil spring had some issues not returning the slide to battery on the first trip to the range with some cheap, bulk ammo.
I left the slide locked back for a few days and it cycled fine, but that was with CCI Mini Mags.
It's definitely easier to rack the slide and the gun feels good with the low power spring.
I'd just say it's probably 50/50 whether it'll help with shooting cheaper ammo.

5 of 5 Recoil Spring for Walther PPQ 22LR Tuesday, May 12, 2026
Reviewer: CARLOS LOPEZ from BAYAMON, PR United States  
My Walther PPQ .22LR wouldn't fire and jammed with standard velocity bullets. It would only fire high-velocity bullets. I solved the problem by buying the .22 Reduced Power Recoil Spring. My problems are gone; now I fire both standard and high-velocity bullets without any issues. Taylor tactical #1 . I highly recommend this product.
