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 Walther ppq 9mm for sale 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


Clear the pistol then drop the striker by pulling the trigger. This is the only stock trigger which has managed to catch me off guard once while firing off-hand. In some cases the left-handed controls are harder to operate as wel


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 Walther ppq 9mm for sale 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 see

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 improvemen

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 Walther ppq 9mm for sale 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 and to be honest it’s given me a lot of trouble.
Guns & Ammo
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

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. 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. The Q4 Tac comes standard with a threaded barrel, an adjustable rear sight and fiber optic front sight and is complete with an optic mount. Pull the slide back slightly then pull down on a tab just in front of the trigger.
