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 Walther PPQ M2 P99 will fit the PPQ’s and they are by far the easiest sights to replace on any handgun I have ever see


You’ve probably disliked plastic framed pistols since you first saw them. One final point of consideration is how well these pistols will hold up with time, use, and exposure to the elements. The Q4 and Q5 models are spared from the ‘low-end’ windage adjustable only sights and Walther’s website has a version of the M2 listed with ‘W/XS F8 night sights’ which look to be a major improvement. Clear the pistol then drop the striker by pulling the trigger. It is what every striker-fired pistol strives to b


After putting hundreds of rounds through other guns I am still completely floored when I go back to shooting a PPQ. From there it’s right back to needing just that teeny bit of encouragement to fire again. The reset is so short that by the time you can think about it the darn thing’s already clicked back into place with a tactile and audible report. There’s some easy take-up before it reaches a notable stop then it’s just a little bit further to the break. It is what every striker-fired pistol strives to be.

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


The trigger on this pistol is so fantastic that it’s the foundation for the very name of the series. The Walther PPQ M2 is a "definite buy" for someone looking for a reliable, accurate, capable and durable defensive pistol. This can affect the accuracy of a pistol, but it Walther PPQ M2 shouldn’t prevent a shooter from being, at the very least, practically accurate. The rest of the firearm resisted the elements pretty well but the sights, we found, were not coated. I want something I don’t need to wipe down with oil every time I handle it. Since I’m no longer "on the job," I’ll tell you that I don’t carry a spare magazine on me when I carry a pisto


I don’t know how they did it, and I really don’t care, but the Walther’s trigger is leaps and bounds ahead of the pistol I carried in the field. Striker-fired pistols have always had one drawback; the trigger. In the accuracy department, the Walther PPQ M2 should outperform most pistols in its class. The sights won’t rust because they’re polymer as is the pistol’s frame so nothing to really worry about there. In the field I carried a polymer framed duty pistol for nine year

Walther PPQ M2 for a first timer?
Then there are the polymer sights which come standard on most of the models. 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. If there’s a problem, I’ll inform you but I’m not evaluating these guns for extreme accuracy. With a lot of our time spent in a saltwater environment we discovered the sights would rust. The polymer pistol I carried in the field had one small Achilles heel that we quickly discovered. Because of its high-quality Walther barrel and the ultra-smooth Quick Defense Trigger this pistol most definitely does not lack accuracy.
Walther PPQ M2 Review
The Q4 Tac comes standard with a threaded barrel, an adjustable rear sight and fiber Walther PPQ M2 optic front sight and is complete with an optic mount. There’s the PPQ SC, their sub-compact model with a greatly reduced grip length and half an inch shaved off of the standard 4″ barrels. For those who prefer a thumb button style mag release there is the PPQ M2 model, which can easily be switched out for left or right handed use.
