Walther PPQ M2 Review

[leslash06937]

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 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

It wasn’t a Walther, but it was a good example of what a defense pistol should be. If a pistol isn’t reliable, I have no use for it. Reliability is my first requirement for a pistol. With a high density plastic frame and an incredibly tough tenifer finish on the metal parts it doesn’t lack durability. Now that I have your attention let’s look at what the Walther PPQ doesn’t lac

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 to

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.

Walther PPQ pros and cons
It really is quite easy, even if you try to remove the sight from the wrong direction like I had. The front can be replaced with a Glock front sight hex driver while the back can be swapped out with a small screwdriver. To me the polymer ones feel flimsy and I do question their long term reliability. I’m not a big fan of the captive polymer recoil sprin

Some sights have been reported to change the point of aim but I’ve outfitted both of mine with Trijicon three dot night sights originally made for the P99 and they’ve been dead-on. 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. There’s no divot to protect the paint and I’ve personally had some of these sights get beat up in short order. Most of the PPQ’s come with some really flimsy sights which have three white dots painted right on the trailing edge. All of the newer pistols feature polygonal rifling, though I have seen an earlier M2 with more traditional land and groove rifling. After putting hundreds of rounds through other guns I am still completely floored when I go back to shooting a PP
