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have been reported to change the point of aim but I’ve outfitted both of mine with Trijicon three dot night sights originally made for the P99 and they’ve been dead-on.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. After putting hundreds of rounds through other guns I am still completely floored when I go back to shooting a PP
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 Walther PPQ M2 sprin
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 Walther PPQ M2 ever shot.” From time to time I am introduced to a new pistol design at some invitation-only, pre-production rollout event. I sincerely hope that these guns see an increase in third party support as they absolutely deserve the recognition. The predecessor to the PPQ 22 is the P22, a pistol which seems to have a mixed history of its own. I own one of these as well and to be honest it’s given me a lot of troubl

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

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 to
