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have been reported to change the point of aim but I’ve outfitted both of mine with Trijicon three dot night sights originally made for the P99 and they’ve been dead-on.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 optic mount. Pull the slide back slightly then pull down on a tab just in front of the trigge
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 Walther PPQ M2 ‘W/XS F8 night sights’ which look to be a major improvement. Then there are the polymer sights which come standard on most of the models. 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 use. It’s not just a good trigger for a polymer striker-fired pistol, it’s just a really freaking good trigger. Smith & Wesson M&P in 5.7 and .22 Mag. Calibers 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. 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 be. Guns & Am

It’s not just a good trigger for a polymer striker-fired pistol, it’s just a really freaking good trigger. 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 Walther PPQ M2 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
Clear the pistol then drop the striker by pulling the trigger. This is the only stock trigger which has managed to catch me off guard once while firing off-hand. In some cases the left-handed controls are harder to operate as well. What Gun Is That? How Experts Identify Firearms from Photos and Video After putting hundreds of rounds through other guns I am still completely floored when I go back to shooting a PPQ.

Be Ready 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. Walther PPQ pros and co
The trigger on this pistol is so fantastic that it’s the foundation for the very name of the series. The Walther PPQ M2 is a “definite buy” for someone looking for a reliable, accurate, capable and durable defensive pistol. 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 handle it. Since I’m no longer “on the job,” I’ll tell you that I don’t carry a spare magazine on me when I carry a pisto
