Just picked up my new Walther PPQ M2 at Ark Tactical today

[drumvudu]

Like the title says. Picked up the new PPQ M2 at the best LGS in the history of LGS's, Ark Tactical. I then went straight over to the range and put 270 rounds through it and I will say without a doubt that I now know what everyone has been talking about when it comes to the trigger. It must be the best polymer framed trigger in the business. The break is just incredible. But not as incredible as the reset. I've never seen a shorter reset on any gun, anywhere, of any type. Basically, as soon as you take the pressure off of the trigger, it resets. I never thought in a million years I would say this but as much as I love and respect my G19, I ALMOST like he Walther as much for range use, but only for range use at this point. It will take a long time before I decide how much I like and trust it but for now, it is super accurate, kick ass looking, and very fun to shoot.

I'm a fan of this pistol too.

The reset is very similar to a nice 1911 for me.

Congrats on your new acquisition! I'm particular to the PPQ Classic. The PPQ is a fantastic pistol. I've never had a malfunction of any type with mine and have put a large variety of loadings through it. When you get used to the reset, it's amazing how fast you can put follow-up shots on target.

Agreed, I had the opportunity to put a few mags through a Wilson CQB last summer and the reset on that was indeed very similar. I'm not highly schooled on 1911's so there may even be better triggers than something like that out there FAIK. Thanks for the comments guys.

Can anyone say how it compares to a M&P with the DCAEK kit in it?

The reset has to be better if they are talking about it.

Someone may be able to tell you the difference in triggers, but I was shopping for an M&P when I got the PPQ. The ergonomics of the PPQ fit me better. In other words, the differences go beyond the trigger.

I wish Walther would make the 5" PPQ and the PPQ .45 with the trigger guard mag release, but the focus seems to be on button mag releases as indicated by the recent release of the PPS M2.

I have the PPQ 9 and .40, both with the paddle mag release. I have no use for the button release personally. I think the ergonomics are excellent. The short reset can cause un-intentional double taps occasionally, under pressure.
I thought there was a 5" PPQ? It came out after I had both of mine, and not sufficient for me to bail on what I have and get one.

Neither of mine will shoot the aluminum cased Blazer stuff, that is the only thing they won't shoot, (failure to extract), and the Blazer shoots in ALL my other guns, so take that for what it's worth.
I would like to shoot the .45. Anyone? Anyone?

I went back and forth trying to decide between the PPQ and the VP9. I settled on the VP9 because I liked the trigger better. Personally, for my taste, I thought the PPQ trigger was a bit too light, I didn't like the way the break felt, and thought the reset was a bit too short for my liking.

That being said, I was kind of eyeballing that PPQ at Ark yesterday morning. Glad I didn't buy it and hope the new owner enjoys it.

There is, but only in the M2 configuration.
