Anyone ever use the 30 walther return policy? I bought a q5 match polymer to try polymer guns and frankly i can't decide if i like it or not. I shot it about 3 times now and im still on the fence. I currently have a cz tactical and im debating returning this and getting a shadow instead. 

 

Long story short, how was your experience with the return? Was it long drawn? My research says about 2 weeks but im curious how true to form that is. Thank you.

I do not own one but I am curious to the answers on this. It seems very fair to offer a 30-day return policy.  I only own one Walther and find that it is a very well made pistol that fits my hand perfectly.  It would take some of the risk out of buying a Q5 Match and find you don't like it.

If yoy dont already have one. You will require another pistol purchase permit for the replacement.

I just picked up 3 more permits the other day lol i caught the itch. Originally i was going to use this as a home defense gun but it got one bullet stuck in the chamber that apparently had a burr, and another round had a light primer strike. Both could be assumed from ammo, but it still made me second guess it a bit. I would return this, buy a shadow for the range and probably a glock 34 for the house since its both reliable and can go to the range. 

I have many 9mm pistols but never liked or wanted anything to do with polymer framed striker fired guns.  On impulse, I bought a Walther Q5 and it has worked flawlessly for me.  I absolutely would trust it for defense and it's the easiest shooting and most accurate 9mm I own! 

You’re gonna have to take one for the team and let us know how it works out. Not many here return guns. Most just buy moar. I think @45Doll has a few walthers

Correct. And none have had issues. Although neither of us has a Q5.

Winchester had a bad primer, and federal synthec got stuck from an apparent burr. Again maybe these things happen and im just not used to it?

Up to you bud. Could be a Friday gun. You might like cz moar. Dunno 

But whatever you do, if the gun jams on white box; don’t throw it over the berm repeatedly..

I love my other cz and im definitely getting a shadow. With that said, I still need my designated home defense pistol. I love the trigger on this and its accurate as hell. Im gunna put another 400 rounds through it tomorrow and see how i feel.

Did you clean and lube the gun before you shot it?

Yup. Again both problems can be attributed to ammo. Gunna put a few rounds through it today and see 

Yeah, went shooting today. Slide didnt lock back a few times. Am i being too picky or what? Never had any issues with my cz so maybe I was spoiled by that. The gun cost 850, i would expect it to run flawlessly. Gunna try this return policy in a week or so. Ill keep you all updated.

The slide didnt stay back after firing the last round today. Possible I had too much oil? Never had that happen. A

Or you are riding the slide release.

I'd definitely put a few more rounds through it before making a decision.  Walther makes a great gun but it's really up to your preference especially when it's your money and your permits.  The Shadow 2 has been an amazing gun but I prefer a striker fired gun for home defense.  My Shadow has been running strong for the last year and a half with many rounds fired.  It has a couple FTE when the extractor gets a little too dirty.

@High Exposureonce told me “ beware of the man with just one gun, he prolly knows how to use it” (HE didn’t use prolly, HE is a semicolon gramma nazi) that being said. Find the gun that fits you. Easy way,friends. Hard way rental and buying.

and den shoot it ,like a lot, wet and dry, n stuff

Actually put about 300 rounds through it today. Ran flawlessly. Im going yo keep it. I shoot it well and i find it enjoyable. Its also light so i can shoot it for longer. Im still waiting for my 2 czs to arrive, then i have to stop buying guns for a little bit... 

 

Although my girlfriend wants a 22 lr pistol for the range now.

Sooo another thing @High Exposuretaught me. Go with a mission, train. Print up drills. My once a month ( pre Rona) handgun I’m doing 1 hour and maybe 200.

HE called it ballistic masturbation if you did otherwise.. He’s disappeared, he was tired of being called a bigot by the troll

Yeah ive been going once a week, trying to work on consciously shooting. Trying to go down the steps of each shot. Sometimes i catch myself trying to run before i can walk. Im going to Google some drills and take tjem with me next week.

Ya know if you get that DW 1911 you can always get a .22lr conversion kit for it for the girlfriend 

I highly recommend the Ruger SR22!  It's the ONLY gun my wife will shoot.
