The Heart Of The Internet
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 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 Walther PPQ M2 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 troubl
Glock G44: Firing Range Report
There are several different versions of this pistol currently available. Some models can be found in Walther PPQ M2 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.
Taurus TX22 Competition .22 LR Match Pistol: Review
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. Something which was comfortable, easy to use, not too expensive, and (this is a big thing for me and my budding OCD-ness here) had symmetrical controls.

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
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. 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. For those who prefer a Walther PPQ M2 thumb button style mag release there is the PPQ M2 model, which can easily be switched out for left or right handed us
Let’s Get the Story Straight: What you need to know if you decide to Conceal & Carry
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 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 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 right.
A Perfect 10? The S&W M&P 10
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. 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.
