Whats up everyone. I recently went to my local gun shop to choose a HD gun and i really cant decide between the Walther Q5 match for $775 or the CZ p10c for $499. They both feel great in the hand and really seem to have a great trigger. Which one would you choose for home defense??

 

A six shot 357 wheel gun - or 44 special.

 

 

That's kind of an apples to oranges comparison. A fairer one would be the CZ to the standard PPQ. While CZ builds a fine product, the P10C is relatively new. The PPQ (the basis of the Q5) has been around for a while and is well regarded in competitive circles. My shooting buddy uses a PPQ for IDPA and USPSA and his has close to 10K rounds through it with no gun related malfunctions.

But what do I know? I'm a wheelgunner and am perfectly fine with USRifle30Cal's recommendation - but I'd add a revolver in .45 ACP to his acceptable list.

Adios,

buy something cheap priced but reliable for hd, 'cause you WILL lose it, and you WILL take the ride if you use it.

P-01 or snubbie 38

P-01c is what I meant. It's my next handgun for sure.

I have found a 4" Regulator, made by Uberti, single action in 45acp - do I want to go through the dang permit process again?  Hmmm

I agree with this. Although, I would stick with the Gen 4. 

The Q5 match gun, is well, a match gun with a light trigger. My buddy has one and I measured the trigger at 4lbs. It breaks real easy. I wouldn't use it a HD gun. You would be better served with a standard PPQ as an HD gun.
