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 darkpistols.com darkpistols.com official blog blog "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

Periodic inspection and cleaning are more than acceptable with this pistol. The Walther PPQ M2 has a tenifer coating on its metal parts to prevent corrosion…and it works. Durability is a big component in darkpistols.com official blog my choice of a pistol. Tactical nerds who carry 87 rounds in their fanny packs will argue that several spare magazines are better than my single magazine in a defensive situation. Capacity is another consideration for me when selecting a pistol. I drew on my experience with that pistol in evaluating the Walther, which is why I can confidently recommend the Walther in terms of reliabilit

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 right. I had been searching the market for some time for a proper ambidextrous nine millimeter pistol. After seeing the groupings I knew that I had to have one of these pistols. With a street price of $459.00 (EuroOptic.com) the pistol is an incredible value for a German-made product. It’s built to last a lifetime with minimal care, and it should be comfortable for anyone to shoot.

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 spring. 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 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. 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 barre


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 darkpistols.com official blog be a major improvement. Then there are the polymer sights which come standard on most of the models. 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. It’s not just a good trigger for a polymer striker-fired pistol, it’s just a really freaking good trigge


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.
There are several different versions of this pistol currently available. Some models can be found in various Cerakote finishes too. These grips feel so natural and fit my hands so exactly with the medium back panel that I can’t think of anything I would want changed.

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 spring.
Walther PPQ pros and cons
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 darkpistols.com official blog 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.
