Walther PPQ M2 Review

The trigger itself has a safety lever in the center ala Glock (to prevent against accidental discharges if dropped), and the pistol has a firing pin block safety as well. I walked into my local gun store to use the range, and an employee said to me, "Hey, have you checked out the new striker-fired Walther?  It has the best factory trigger of any striker-fired gun I've ever shot." From time to time I am introduced to a new pistol design at some invitation-only, pre-production rollout event. I sincerely hope that these guns see an increase in third party support as they absolutely deserve the recognition. The predecessor to the PPQ 22 is the P22, a pistol which seems to have a mixed history of its own. I own one of these as well Walther ppq 9mm for sale and to be honest it’s given me a lot of troubl

He schooled me on the proper way to operate the Walther's unusual magazine release by using the middle finger of my shooting hand. Using your trigger finger to drop the mag, because of the angle, results in your finger pressing against the side of the trigger as well as the magazine release—very not good. Unlike traditional American designs, the PPQ's magazine release is a sizable ambidextrous lever on either side of the trigger guard. I obtained a 9mm model, which comes with two 15-round magazines and three sizes of interchangeable backstraps, with the medium-size one installed on the gun at the factory. One final point of consideration is how well these pistols will hold up with time, use, and exposure to the elements. There’s the PPQ M1, or what they now call the PPQ Classic, which uses a European style paddle magazine release that’s fully ambidextrous right out of the bo


To use your shooting hand thumb you have to turn the gun completely sideways in your hand, almost pointing the muzzle back at yourself—not good. The ambidextrous slide release is surprisingly long but not overly bulky. The front of the square trigger guard has similar horizontal serrations, and the top of the slide is serrated to reduce glare.

Whatever engineering feat Walther undertook to create this trigger had been worth the trouble. But there is so much more to this gun than looking incredible in a mirror. Something which was comfortable, easy to use, not too expensive, and (this is a big thing for me and my budding OCD-ness here) had symmetrical controls.

Last is the Q5 Match, a slightly tweaked 5″ barreled model which also has adjustable sights and is optic ready and features a distinct blue trigger and lightening cuts within the slide. For as many polymer framed and/or striker-fired pistols are currently on the market (and there are quite a few!) there is one model which I would give the crown to, hands down and no questions asked. On the upside sights for the Walther P99 will fit the PPQ’s and they are by far the easiest sights to replace on any handgun I have ever seen.
The trigger on this pistol is so fantastic that it’s the foundation for the very name of the series. All I had to do with the M2 version was switch out one of the magazine releases and I had a mirrored pair of nine millimeters. Not all ambi pistols have full ambi controls, nor are they all built where the controls on the left side are the same as on the righ

Handguns Editor Scott Rupp talks with S&W Rep Vince Perreault about how the Tempo Barrell System manages these quick cartridg Well, luckily for me that gun store employee is a big Walther fan, and as an Iraq combat veteran he knows the how important it is to be able to manipulate your weapon quickly. The PPQ's slide features flat-bottomed serrations fore and aft that provide a very good gripping surface. The rear is adjustable for windage. With a four-inch barrel and an overall length of 7.1 inches, the Walther PPQ is roughly the size and weight (24.5 oz) of a Glock 17 but with a better trigger. The grip feels small for its capacity, and I think this impression is helped by the profile of the slide, which narrows at the top.
