Trust me brother I feel the cost issue, but you can pick up a Streamlight TLR-1 HL for like $130 and pretty much any major holster manufacturer makes something for you. I have like 4 of them on a bunch of different pistols and have never had any issues at all with any of them. The 1,000 lumens is perfect for trips to the fridge for a late night snack too.
TRUGLO Tritium Pro TG231G1MW
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N5K4F5Z/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
They clear the top, but the front Tritium Dot does get cut in half by the DP Pro.
I had initially Installed Ameriglos, but they didn't clear the DP Pro.
These (truglo's) are easier to install because of the Set Screw, for the Ameriglos i had to use a sight pusher and i almost stripped it while doing it, the PDP in the rear is not exact to the Glock 17 Spec, just close, the rear irons really need to be pushed in.
Those Ameriglos when to a Glock 17 and they went into that gun no problem, even taking them off the PDP was a real pain.
Yea they are. Threw a set of Meprolights on mine and they are awesome.
Here they are on Amazon. I paid a few bucks less but still a great deal. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0053FI0OU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_d4h3wbVVQSV34
Every pdp I see on here has this red dot. Im wondering whats so special about it? I shoot for fun occasionally and thinking of trying red dot but dishing out $300-400 for a sight seems bit out of my league.
I was looking at this sight how is it compared to this one?
I can't help you with an OEM, but I can tell you I lose those things pretty frequently. I just buy these for $7 off Amazon and keep them in the gun room just in case.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018JRCUUS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_3EF17C7KBBH9N0E33YW1
I put these on mine, the contrast between the orange tip and blacked out rear sight fixed aquisition for me. And they co witness red dots.
If all goes as planned, it’ll arrive tomorrow (or Friday, really hoping tomorrow)... found one on Amazon OWB, optic-Ready, $54
It fits better than my N8 Squared original. I carry at 4 o'clock. It's cheap and has served me well. It sits a little low but I like it. I recommend a good belt with this one. I had a Galco Kydex IWB holster for my compact Glock, it had the same type of clip and I always felt I had to carry those with a good belt.
You may also find some on eBay. I always forget to look there.
Gospel. I will add that carrying a small trauma kit is strongly recommended. I'm a retired medic so I literally can't leave the house without it ; ) My field EDC items riding on belt include: pistol, holster, spare magazine in skeleton carrier, stun gun in pouch, spring assist knife in sheath, small trauma kit and utility pouch (I work with dogs so I carry treats and some canine specific first aid items in pouch). That's a decent amount of weight, but 75% of it is in the pistol, holster, spare magazine, mag holder. I find a combination of strong belt and "combat" style suspenders works really well. My belt is a 1/2" thick leather Filson, totally bulletproof. The suspenders I use look like these: https://images.app.goo.gl/12CVZehFXjsLQZLm8. They are made a fairly thin rigid nylon weave and don't print unless I'm wearing a tight t-shirt only. Dickies also makes some good undershirt suspenders. They wear out eventually, but are only like 15 bucks a pair. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001VNBAYK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_8jnLFbVC3R0Q2 My around town EDC/CC is pistol, spare mag, knife and trauma kit. I still use the same belt and braces combination with reduced gear load, keeps everything where it needs to be, especially when running. I have a wide torso, 34-in waist, bit of a muffin top. I currently use a thumb drive retention holster on my right hip for field carry and AIWB (appendix) for concealed.
Anything that works with the ppq m1 will work with the p99. You could also custom order from vedder.
Vega makes a very comfy iwb holster that offers no retention but a very low profile. Most holsters designed for the ppq m2 will also work.
I usually carry this one Fierce Defender IWB Kydex Holster... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DCWST8L?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I carry either the p99 or the ppq sc.
Most hobby shops that sell gundam models sell those markers. The set I got from amazon just so happens to have a blue that matches Walther's blue pretty well.

I put this one on: https://www.amazon.com/HIVIZ-Walther-Frnt-Sight-Intrchg/dp/B00899KT0A
I think it's intended for a P22, as the mounting "divot" /cut out the sight is smaller than that of the PPQ. Still, I was able to mount it and secure it easily.
It really is an improvement over the stock front sight.
I have this safariland holster for my 4" compact but it should fit the 5" if you aren't running a light on the gun

I’ve had really good luck with this holster for my PP/PPK/Thunder. It’s not gonna win any tactical awards, but it is comfortable and has held up well for around a year.
Sightmark Triple Duty works great. I have one and it is self centering in the barrel bore.
One thing that has not been mentioned... Be careful not to drop any laser cartridge or boresigbt tool. Very easy to shock the laser mount internally, and then it will no longer be true and accurate. (ask me how I know 🤦♂️)
How much do you want to spend and do you plan to remove/adjust various sights? I own both below. The NcStar is good and I have used it multiple times. It works but is a little more work than the Real Avid to get the slide in position and ready to use.
The Real Avid costs more but is probably the better value for me because it allowed me to remove the really tall sights on my Springfield xdm elite OSP. The NcStar was too shallow.
I've bought other cheap $30 sight removers trying to save money on something I thought I would only use once, and to be honest I wished I had just got the Real Avid in the beginning.
NcSTAR about $50 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HU4NNDE/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_QKMF51910AMSEYS3YG33?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Real Avid $125 to $150 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BB6W9ZZ/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_NCKXJSPNF8BZSP3EYWTR
They are glock pattern sights. You can tap it out with a punch, or even better, go to cabelas or Academy, and get a rig specifically for changing glock rear sights. Or here’s one off Amazon. [https://www.amazon.com/StarONE-Universal-Handguns-Pusher-Glocks/dp/B08G8MTG95]()

What about the ameriglo gl-506?

I used this one Hogue 17050 HandAll Beavertail... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H3GCGZZ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Only issue is that the rear bottom 1/5th of the grip is not snug but it doesn’t cause any type of slippage or overall free movement of the grip . More of a minor aesthetic issue
$148 on amazon for red right now.

> should I just learn to live without it
Yes, but then you should get it for the benefits of a laser if you want one. Visual lasers are meant to be supplementary to your aiming.
I actually just wore a suit today and just because of the placement how it's under your arm, and the fact the gun is pretty small, you really can't see anything at all. And yeah, the only thing is not taking your jacket off, but easy for winter months (depending where you live).

I'm in Canada and it's pretty limited what sight pushers are available. I went with this one https://www.amazon.com/ATG-Universal-Pistol-Dovetailed-Pusher/dp/B07DMZDD6V/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?crid=39HGZ3SR6TH1Z&dchild=1&keywords=vism+sight+pusher&qid=1630950021&sprefix=vism+&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&smid=ASVDA2H21JZ99&a...

depending on the model of laser, you might get lucky with some manufacturers. for example: https://www.amazon.com/Neptune-Concealment-Kydex-Holster-Walther/dp/B072F2DPCK
other than that, your choice is take the laser off and get a pre-made holster, or keep the laser and pay for custom.
I just wanted to add on the addition grip texture. The item comes with two sizes. Maybe the large one includes the gripping for the extended mag. This is the one I was looking at. Checking out your link now.

This is an older post, but I just happened to see it. I also own a CCP M2, and am quite happy with it! Just a couple things:
The CCP M2 has a little "M2" designation on the handgrip, next to the CCP moniker so you can quickly recognize whether it is the M1 or 2.
I highly recommend getting a magazine speedloader. There is one on Amazon for $13. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NCQZ5PN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have a Vedder IWB holster. One thing I really like about this particular holster is that I am left handed. The safety switch is accessible so that I can click it on or off while it is still concealed. This would only be true for lefties..
Clean the firearm as usual. Apply RIG to exposed metal. Repeat every 3 months or so.
An anecdote: My beloved T-Bolt was cleaned and stored in this manner, seeing no use, for approximately 25 years while in my grandfather's possession. There is zero rust on the firearm.
I just picked up the comp-tac holster, comes with belt loop and paddle attachments, as well as a drop offset. Going to run the loop with drop for my local club' 3-gun matches. Is cut forward of the chamber so will easily accommodate your RDS.
Dara holsters makes one too, more expensive though.
Something like this is a good basic kit.
Pretty much any holster made for the ppq m1 will work, and they are much easier to find.
Fierce Defender IWB Kydex Holster... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DCWST8L?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share try this one out. I’ve found the retention to be good
Edit: I just checked on my PPQ SC. It uses a .050 Allen Key to remove the front sight, and a tool like the one I posted below to install most of them, but I believe it can be done a 3/16 hex driver.

You may have some failures to eject/feed with .22 Longs in a P22.
I made that mistake years ago during another ammo scare and it took me a couple magazines worth of rounds through my P22 before I read the package and realized I had bought .22 Long instead of .22 Long Rifle.
For dry fire, I recommend getting some Snap Caps - they are really cheap and will protect the firing pin.
Bianchi Model 3S is decent for the money, $50 from amazon.
IMO, the only .32 that's really practical for earnest CCW is the Kel Tec P32, just because it's modern/reliable, and truly minuscule and light enough to justify the ballistic sacrifice compared to a subcompact 9mm.
I love to shoot my .32 PP, but it's a range gun in my view.
I'm using Truglo and I'm very happy with them.
IF You are considering the type of Trij OP posted, either the Trij HDs or the Trij Bright and Tough
The Truglo Tritium Pros are damn near the exact same thing for 3/5 of the price.
Trij pros: Orange front so maybe a little more "pop"
Triglo tri pro pros: Better smoothed rounded edge. Some users complain that the endge finish on the trij HDs was a bit sharp, scratching skin and putting small holes in shirts for CCW weapons. Not an issue with the rounded comfort finish on the trit pros.
As for color, the trit pros are white dot front, blackout rear so still a nice fast sight pickup contrast.
I have a defendtek light on my PPQ M2 which has been absolutely awesome. 1500 or so indoor range rounds and 400 or so outdoor(Minnesota winter) rounds with no issue.

I LOVE mine. I did add https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01D0CTOHE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And I love them. Yes the factory grip is good, but everyone who's held my Walther loves the grips.
Usually appendix IWB with a Kydex holster. Bought this one as it looked good for the price. I have the classic but it's basically the same dimensions, so it should work for the M2.
