| 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 top. | I have also spent time with it disassembled, getting familiar with the internal changes and issues with parts replacement (since Glocks are fun hobby kits). I’ve run it for static precision and in dynamic defensive drills from concealment, with and without a light attached to the rail. For this Glock 19 review, I’ve been using my Gen 5 since late August and have put roughly 4,000 rounds through it since. Roughly seven years later we’re presented with the next generation in Glock’s lineup. I’ll probably look into a gen 3 and building it out to how I wan |

| | However, magazines designed for compact and subcompact models will not function in larger pistols because they are not tall enough to reach the slide and magazine release. The Gen 1 frame pattern and design was used by Glock from 1982 through 1988 and pre-dates the checkered grip patterns used in the second generation of Glock pistols. "Subcompact" models are designed for easier carry and being lighter and shorter, are intended to be used with two fingers on the grip below the trigger glock 19 for sale guard and lack an accessory rail like the larger, after generation two, Glock models. Glock magazines are interchangeable between models of the same caliber, meaning that a compact or subcompact pistol will accept magazines designed for the larger pistols chambered for the same round. |

| | The first of these are the "long slide" models, which were too long for certain IPSC classes, necessitating the creation of the intermediate "competition" glock 19 for sale models. Additionally, many law enforcement agencies had the department name, logo, or badges engraved on the slides of issued duty weapons. In addition to the standard nonadjustable polymer sight line, three alternative sight lines are offered by Glock. They feature additional openings that allow liquids to flow and escape around them, offering enhanced reliability when water has penetrated into the firing pin assembly channel. The first Glock pistols sent to the United States in 1985 failed to meet the BATF import "points" requirement, requiring Glock to quickly develop an adjustable rear sight which allowed for the pistols to be imported and sold commercially in 198 |

| You’ve probably disliked plastic framed pistols since you first saw them. One final point of consideration is Walther PPQ M2 how well these pistols will hold up with time, use, and exposure to the elements. 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 improvement.

| | The polymer frames of third-generation models can be black, flat dark earth, or olive drab. Glock pistols with these upgrades are informally referred to as (early) "third-generation" models. These versions, introduced in 1988, were informally referred to as "second-generation" or Gen2 models, though Glock did not mark the pistols Gen |

| 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 ou | |

| | The earliest Glock boxes had ammunition storage compartments that allowed for 17 rounds of 9mm to be stored with the pistol. In 1985, after joint Norwegian and Swedish trials from 1983 to 1985, the Glock 17 was accepted into service as the P80 in Norway, and in 1988 as the Pistol 88 in Sweden, where it surpassed all prior NATO durability standards. Glock was then invited to participate in the XM9 Personal Defense Pistol Trials, but declined because the DOD specifications would require extensive retooling of production equipment and providing 35 test samples in an unrealistic time fram |

| After putting hundreds of 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.

| | Also, in 2007, Glock introduced a "short frame" version of these large frame weapons to provide a grip better suited to small glock 19 for sale hands. These come in only "standard", "subcompact", "competition" (.45 ACP only), and "long slide" (10mm only). Additionally, .357 SIG and .45 GAP chamberings are offered in "standard", "compact", and "subcompact" models, while .380 ACP is offered only in "compact" and "sub-compact" model |

| 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 Walther PPQ M2 optic mount.

| | The British preferred the Glock 17 Gen 4 over the Beretta Px4 Storm, FN FNP, Heckler & Koch P30, SIG Sauer P226, Smith & Wesson M&P, and Steyr M9A1 of which 19 pistols each, all chambered in 9×19 mm Parabellum, were entered in the R9GSP trials. Starting in 2013, the British Armed Forces began replacing the Browning Hi-Power pistol with the Glock 17 Gen 4, due to concerns about weight and the external safety of the Hi-Power. By 1992, some 350,000 pistols had been sold in more than 45 countries, including 250,000 in the United States alone. Within three months, Glock had developed a working prototype that combined proven mechanisms and traits from previous pistol design |

| Walther PPQ M2 for a first timer? | |
| 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. It’s not just a good trigger for a polymer striker-fired pistol, it’s just a really freaking good trigger. Because of the difference in engineering the striker pistols just won’t ever have the same clean feel at the trigger as a hammer-fired weapon. Striker-fired polymer framed pistols…they’re everywhere. | |
| Walther PPQ M2 Review | |
| I’m not going to focus much time on range reports in the Sidearms For Sportsmen column. Walther definitely paid attention to the gripes pistol users have, and they made this pistol very comfortable to shoot. You don’t need NBA hands to fit Walther PPQ M2 around the grip and everything just seems to mold to your palm. One of the biggest standouts of the PPQ M2 is the overall design of the pistol itself. One of the features of the Walther that has had people talking is the trigge | |
