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 us |

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have been reported to change the point of aim but I’ve outfitted both of mine with Trijicon three dot night sights originally made for the P99 and they’ve been dead-on.

| | I don’t know how they did it, and I really don’t care, but the Walther’s trigger is leaps and bounds ahead of the pistol I carried in the field. Striker-fired pistols have always had one drawback; the trigger. In the accuracy department, the Walther PPQ M2 should outperform most pistols in its class. The sights won’t rust because they’re polymer as is Walther PPQ M2 the pistol’s frame so nothing to really worry about there. In the field I carried a polymer framed duty pistol for nine years. |

Whatever engineering feat Walther undertook to create this trigger had been worth the troubl | My test pistol had the same excellent trigger as the one I tried at the gun store. Unfortunately, the engineers at Walther took a page out of the Glock design book, as the PPQ comes with polymer 3-dot sights. The ergonomics and controls are all the same, but the 22 model does not have a removable back panel. 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 sessions. There’s a spring-loaded plunger and a small click-adjustable screw for windage and the rear sight falls right out. |

| | 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. |

| 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.

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 Walther PPQ M2 handle it.
