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 darkpistols.com 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

Walther PPQ M2 for a first timer? Periodic inspection and cleaning are more than acceptable with this pistol. The Walther PPQ M2 has a tenifer coating on its metal parts to prevent darkpistols.com corrosion…and it works. Durability is a big component in my choice of a pistol.

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.

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.
