My Walther Q5 Match Classic

Picked up a Walther PPQ Q5 Match. Sweet! But I always like the M1 because of the paddle magazine release. Sooo, I bought a PPQ Classic and switched the uppers.

 

Both the original trigger pull of the Q5 and the Classic averaged 4lb-15oz according to my Lyman Digital Gauge. Take-up was about 0.5" and reset to about 0.25". Not satisfied with that, although it is better than any trigger out there other than a 1911, I installed the Apex Flat-Faced Forward Set Trigger. Take-up was reduced to about 0.25" and reset to about 0.15". Trigger pull now averages 4lb-9oz. 

 

One more tweak to be done with a lighter trigger spring and I'll be set. 

 

Oh. And I upgraded the mags to 17 rounds and also installed the Leupold Delta-Point Pro. I likes it.  :good:

I have a 5" M2 and absolutely love the gun.  The trigger in it is unbelievable.  I had never actually measured it so when I saw this post I went out and checked it with my Lyman Digital Gauge.  It clocks in at between 4# 2 oz and 4# 4 oz.  I had once tried someone's 4" M2 that had the Apex in it and it actually felt like a harder pull than mine but it does have a much shorter take up.  Best of luck with yours, they make a great gun.

I plan to polish a few contact spots and install a lighter spring. I ordered the same size (OD, Length, Thickness) in stainless. It is supposed to be a little lighter than the steel. If not, I will get the next size down on the thickness.

And to note that the other difference between the Classic and the M2, is where the middle finger contacts the frame. On the Classic, the trigger guard is not as wide as on the M2.

Just bought the Q5 and can't wait to rescue it from jail when I get my permits 2 purchase. Love the feel of the 5" M2 and the way it shoots. Trying to figure out what optic I want to get for it in for the future after I locate some more funds.

I just got my new spring. Exactly the same size. Easy to install. No disassembly required. Without any polishing, it now breaks at an average of 3lb-7oz. 

 

I have 2 extras if anybody wants one shipped for $7.

      Just wondering if anyone's seen these out in the wild yet or knows what the ETA should look like.  I have a permit I'd like to use before it expires.  Thanks.

      HK P30L 40S&W - $469 + Dealer Markup - Davidsons
      By Maksim
      I get emails from Davidson's and other distributors.  This week they are having a special on HK P30L in 40 S&W for $469.  Assume + shipping + dealer markup.

      Also seems like a deal? on M9A3.

      Also, the Walther Creed is $249.  This was actually a really nice gun when I got to play with it at Shot Show.  Surely better than the lower end Smiths, etc.

      p10c vs ppq vs fns 9c
      By cjs71988
      Trying to decide between the 3... I’m leaning towards the cz p10c, mainly because i love CZs and i hear good things about their striker fired offering. The others are tried and true.
       
      Anyone have any experience with these firearms? Any input would be appreciated.

      Walther PPQ 5" w/ Ported Slide being Replaced w/ new "Standard" 5"
      By NJturtlePower
      Attention all Walther PPQ M2 5" seeker's... Model# 2796091 is being replaced with the new 5" they are calling the "Standard" Model# 2813734. The only real change is it will no longer have the cool ported slide, so get them quick if it's on your list. The old one has already been taken off the Walther website. 
      See the new standard PPQ M2 here: http://www.waltherarms.com/handguns/ppq/ppq-m2-5inch-standard/
      Ported PPQ Porn: http://www.lockharttactical.com/media/com_hikashop/upload/ppq-m2-tactical-22-lr-5-inch-10-round--2_11301755_lockhart-tactical.jpg
      *Image link above since it seems I'm at my attachment cap? What gives?

      The Tax Man Commeth

      By raz-0 · Posted

      In 50 years of living in NJ I've never experienced any attempt to inspect the interior of the home, and only one definite inspection of the exterior for an announced reassessment of all properties and that was a drive by. About 9 years of that was living in an apartment, but still, uncommon. Every place I lived had either a finished attic, basement, or both. But they were also included in the habitable square footage on the taxes when we got there.

      The Tax Man Commeth

      By Tunaman · Posted

      27.00 and change in tolls to drive down the shore from Rutherford,  47.00 in tolls to go out to Long island to visit dying relatives. Now I read they are going to raise the fees in the DMV. Murphy lied just to get elected when he said that seniors will get a significant tax break with his StayNJ" program to stop us from leaving.   Keep voting for democrats...this is what you get.  Tax and spend is all they know.  Never cut anything.  This state sucks.

      I get the added benefit that since I have a TSP rather than a true 401(k) they tax my retirement too. Yaaaay!
