I had a 2022 & 2340 that I liked at the time, but once I held a 229 I had to have one. 229 is hands down better than the pro series. I haven't held or shot a ppq. I also buy used frequently to avoid new price. Im not cheap, just thrifty. I picked up the 229 for half of new price. The 2022 I had I got a really good deal on.
