I wonder how many actually are sold in the US each year?

The P22 is a notorious tub of shit and doesn't count as a real Walther.

Personally, Walther needs to do a better job in working with American "aftermarket" companies for sights and so forth. The PPQ is one of the best pistols on the market, if not "the" best, and I would like to see it better supported by the aftermarket crowd.

If they setup operations they probably will get a bunch of Joe Dirts going "I'm new, I don't know what to do"".
