Review: Walther PPQ

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 change

Sidearms For Sportsmen: Walther PPQ M2 Revi


The trigger on this pistol is so fantastic that Walther PPQ M2 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.

After putting hundreds of Walther PPQ M2 rounds through other guns I am still completely floored 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

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have been reported to change the point of aim but I’ve outfitted both of mine with Trijicon three dot night sights originally made for the P99 and they’ve been dead-on. 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. 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.

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


It wasn’t a Walther, but it was a good example of what a defense pistol should be. If a pistol isn’t reliable, I have no use for it. Reliability is my first requirement for a pistol. With a high density plastic frame Walther PPQ M2 and an incredibly tough tenifer finish on the metal parts it doesn’t lack durability. Now that I have your attention let’s look at what the Walther PPQ doesn’t lac

Whether I carry a pistol in my waistband, in my glovebox or in my overnight bag on a hunting trip, I only own pistols for one reason ­– defense. There’s another area where the Walther blows most pistols out of the water, but you’ll have to make it to the end of this article to find out what it is. At 15 rounds it doesn’t lack capacity. Plastic framed guns are what we’re talking about here! While I feel this is the natural evolution of the striker-fired sidearms, I would love to see how well the Walther PPQ M2 PPQ’s hold up after another ten years of hard use. The point of impact is above the front sight on the .22 model, a matter which has thrown me for quite the loop for the first couple of range session


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 shoo
