I was recently reading the thread M&P vs Glock, Which do you prefer? And it made me think, for a striker fired gun it is really hard to beat a PPQ.
So the question came to mind, Why doesn't everyone own a PPQ?
It has hands down the best trigger of any polymer striker fired gun on the market. Super ergonomics, very accurate, high quality and reliable. So why then is not everyone jumping on the PPQ?
I can only think of two reasons:
First they are hard to find, attesting to their popularity. (or maybe the lack of importing by Walther)
Second brand loyalty. Some might be fixed on this brand or that brand.
Walther's are proven reliable guns. Walther even has even set up a US based presence, having severed their ties to S&W. Walther Arms
Cost is close to Gen 4 Glock or as I have seen, cheaper. Slightly more than a S&W M&P. But you are paying for a higher quality gun, IMHO.
Perhaps some don't realize that just for the US market, Walther created the M2 version with a button mag release, one we are all familiar with. You can still get the original M1 paddle mag release version on special runs.
The PPQ comes in two barrel lengths, 4 and 5 inch. The five inch has a lightened slide like the Glock 34 but with a much better trigger and I believe more accurate.
For those of you that have never shot a PPQ, do yourself a favor and get a hold of one and shoot it. You just might become a convert.
Anyone want to bring up any points that keep them from obtaining a PPQ?
