Review: Walther PPQ
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 screwdriver.
Let’s Get the Story Straight: What you need to know if you decide to Conceal & Car
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 glar

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 top.

There’s some easy take-up before it reaches a notable stop then it’s just a little bit further to the break. Whatever engineering feat Walther undertook to create this trigger had been worth the troubl
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 Walther PPQ M2 exactly with the medium back panel that I can’t think of anything I would want change

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

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
