I finally found the perfect handgun

Post by Que »

I am one of those guys who owned Glocks (well several of them), but they never really seemed to fit me. I didn't like the finger grooves on Gen 3 and 4. I liked the Gen 2 alright, but the NPOA just seemed to be a little off and caused me to have to make adjustments and commit them to memory.

I changed to the M&P and loved the feel and how it shot, but it just seemed a little large. I played with the Sig P226, HK and several others. There is something that I liked about each one, but could not find anything that possessed the desired attributes in one single platform. Well, that was until I found the Walther PPQ.

The PPQ is small enough to conceal comfortably and light enough to know it's there without being annoying. The gun has a natural aim that allows me to accurately hit my targets without altering my grip. Lastly, I find it to be one of the better looking guns out there.

If you have not tried it, you may want to give it a go.

Nice gun. Looks like aftermarket sights? That's what I like about firearms - everyone is going to pick what fits best for them so they can shoot straight.

Obligatory videos:

Very nice. Actually, I like the original PPQ even better, with its mag release integrated into the trigger guard - naturally ambidextrous and no change of grip required to swap mags.

Nice, I have yet to shoot one but I hear good things.

The original PPQ was nice, but I just couldn't get used to the HK-style of mag release. When they came out with the new one, I had to give it a try. Here is the video that first caught my interest.
