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 Walther PPQ M2 the right.

He schooled me on the Walther PPQ M2 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
You’re probably old enough to still prefer a steel framed gun. And let’s go ahead and call a spade a spade; polymer means plastic. I would encourage anyone from new shooters to experienced to give one a try here with us at the Range of Richfield. 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 Walther PPQ M2 a mixed history of its own. The ergonomics and controls are all the same, but the 22 model does not have a removable back pane
The Range Hours
I own one of these as well and to be honest it’s given me a lot of trouble. It really is quite easy, even if you try to remove the sight from the wrong direction like I had. There’s a spring-loaded plunger and a small click-adjustable screw for windage and the rear sight falls right out. The front can be replaced with a Glock front sight hex driver while the back can be swapped out with a small screwdrive
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 accurac
Nothing is perfect and the PPQ does have its share of ‘ehs,’ but it’s not a big list and it’s mostly matters of personal preference. There’s also a pistol called the ‘Creed’ which has similar frame ergonomics to the PPQ, but Walther PPQ M2 it is a completely different breed. The Sub-Compact holds 10 rounds in a flush fit mag but will accept any of the larger capacity mags. The PPQ 22 can be had with 10 or 12 round mags, both flush-fitting. They can be had with 4″ or 5″ barrels (4.2″ for the .40 models and 4.25″ for the .45) or a 4.6″ threaded barrel. 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.
Guns & Ammo Carry
After putting hundreds of rounds through other guns I am still completely floored Walther PPQ M2 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 b
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. It’s not just a good trigger for a polymer striker-fired pistol, it’s just a really freaking good trigger. Because of the difference in engineering the striker pistols just won’t ever have the same clean feel at the trigger as a hammer-fired weapon. Striker-fired polymer framed pistols…they’re everywher

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.
