Hi all, my permits are on the chiefs desk so should be real soon, has anyone seen any Walther ppq at any dealers, I would like to check one out. Also thinking ruger mkIII for permit 2

I haven't been looking lately since I used my last permit in May.  However, my first ever went to a first Gen PPQ 9mm which I absolutely love.  In MY hands its much more comfortable than a Glock and has functioned 100% through nearly 1000 rounds.  That said 9mm gets somewhat pricey after a bit(thankfully the price seems to be coming back down).  I picked up an SR1911(was way too expensive a few months ago), and most recently a MKIII 22/45 Target with replaceable grips.  I really enjoy it. A lot more reasonable to shoot price wise.  I've had some problems with the mags feeding properly, but that seems to be pretty common and there are remedies.  There are tons of aftermarket parts for all the Ruger .22's so you can keep it stock or pimp it out as your heart desires.  And the thing is freaking accurate, with so little recoil it seems to be a great trainer for me(still a relative newb) because tendencies show up a lot more easily.  

 

But back to the original question, get the PPQ.  Last I had seen at both RTSP and Ottomanelli's (Woodland Park) both had at least 1 in stock, but I don't remember what the calibers were. Joe

I have the 9mm 4" in stock

Which one are you looking for? The classic, finely crafted, paddle equipped PPQM1? Or the PPQM2 with the abortion button tumor release? 

 

Regardless, try using the price request feature here. A good price for a PPQ is going to be between 570-600 OTD.

just got my PPQ M2 last week and shoots, feels and looks great. 

Great Pistol.

I got one last week from Chris @ Bullesye Tatical, It had just come in and was his only one

TheWombat did a phenominal write up a while back.

Saw one last week at Heritage/Branchburg.

Picked up the PPQ last night, I really dig this gun. Anyone know where I can find a good holster?

The PPQ is a sleeper. I think it will continue to grow in popularity. With that being said it is not a pistol I would recomend to a new shooter for the same reasons I dont recomend a 1911 to a new shooter. 5 lb trigger with a near instant reset. Add to that equation no external safety. Trigger discipline, especially when reholstering, is paramount with this one IMO. I think you get quite a bit for your money with the PPQ.

Why is a fantastic trigger bad for a new shooter?

 

It's not a light trigger. It's an incredible crisp break

ND's. Unintentional doubling. Things of that nature.

I found this out w/ someones I tried before buying mine

My ex owns a PPQ and we just talked about it yesterday as a matter of fact. If you're an NRA member there is a good article in American Rifleman about it and other Walthers. She really loves hers, it was her first handgun and she had no problems learning on it.

I have yet to have a double fire. It is my first handgun. I have the M1 version which has the paddle mag release. Magazines are plentiful. You can use the magnum research baby desert eagle mags as they are identical and much cheaper than the walther mags. I am not sure if the M2 can use these or not. That would be my only concern with the new version.

M2 is not compatible with baby eagle mags, since the mag release changed

 

M2 mags are finally available for about $32

Do tell!

Thanks!

Jon have you looked for a holster? Slim pickens?

I had a double discharge. Scared the hell out of me. I miss shooting my gun.

no, I havent gotten one yet, but I did find quite discussions on a few to choose from. https://www.google.com/search?q=walther+ppq+holster&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

Blade-Tech makes several of their holsters for the PPQ. A bit pricey and you may need to wait a few weeks, but they're some of the best holsters out there.

I own a P99 and my father the PPQ. We go to the range regularly and I'll be honest. From shooting both side by side, braking them apart and testing them, I think you get much more with the P99 if you can find one. Anyway, just use the price request feature. ALSO mags are a PITA to find so grab them as soon as you find any. Gun or not lol Good luck!
