12131Who here have the Walther PPQ Q5 SF?
Isn't this supposed to be a "Match" pistol? I got to play with one today at the LGS/range, after some shooting of my SIG. Although the ergo is great, I was shocked how bad the trigger was. Very gritty would be an understatement, and not crisp at all. Nowhere close to the outstanding trigger of the original PPQ. Yeah, that's right. Did I just handle a bad example? Or, are they all like that?

pedropcolaGuy at my range shoots matches with one. His too has a marginal trigger. Lot of money for a bad trigger.

H&K-GuyThey had one at my local fun store last week. This is not the Walther trigger you are used to. That and the beaver tail digs in to larger hands.
I'll pass.

sw4566I shot one at a range day in PA in September and was very impressed. I then bought a used one off of GB as an Xmas present to myself. Trigger was godawful, especially considering the $$ of them.
I also found that the grip was too short for my hand. Fortunately I was able to sell it for about what I had in it. I really wanted to like it, but it was “meh” at best.

hessy2000I held one with steel frame and it was very heavy and the grip was awkward. Trigger was somewhat gritty for the gun in this price range. I have had three Walthers: PPQ M1, PPQ Match and PPS M1, and each one had its reliability issues. The PPQ M1 had a great trigger for a few years-until it went full-auto on me. I sent it to SW for repair and quickly got rid of it with the firm pledge to never buy Walther pistols again.
I was curious about the steel framed pistol but having handled one (no shooting), it is a solid pass.
