Indians For Guns

A Walther PPQ .45 - wow!

FORT SMITH, Ark. –-(Ammoland.com)- New to the Walther line of legendary pistols is the PPQ .45 ACP.

Designed for personal protection and recreational shooting, this .45 represents the pinnacle of German craftsmanship.

The gun is equipped with the Carl Walther signature quick defense trigger, which improves accuracy and allows for precise follow up shots. The PPQ .45 is fashioned with the traditional front and rear slide serrations for superior handling during use, and features fully ambidextrous controls like all PPQ models.

The PPQ .45 is without equal in the striker fired polymer framed centerfire pistol market. Like all other PPQ models the trigger is a crisp 5.6 lbs. making it the best out of the box trigger in the industry.

This new .45 houses three separate safeties helping make it a truly capable and safe handling firearm when being used on the range or when carried concealed. Accessories can easily be mounted on the mil-spec Picatinny rail. The overall length is 7.4 inches, a magazine capacity of 12 rounds, and a polygonal rifled 4.25 inch barrel which is an upgrade from the traditional button rifling process.

Cyndi Flannigan, Walther Arms’ Vice President of Sales and Marketing says of the new pistol, “We are excited to bring a .45 Auto to the Walther line. This new caliber and product offering is a benchmark for Walther and the PPQ,” says Flannigan.

“We have built it to the same exacting German standards that deliver the ultimate home defense and personal protection firearm.”

Adding the .45 caliber to the Walther handgun line expresses Walther’s dedication to continued innovation and expansion in the fast growing personal protection industry. The PPQ .45 ACP will hit the market and be available in retail stores on October 1st, 2015.

Walther has earned the trust of law enforcement professionals, recreational shooters, and athletes through its line of reliable pistols, competition guns and tactical rimfire replicas. Walther Arms manufactures and markets firearms of various calibers ranging from .22 to .45.

Really??? Without equal?

Wow, so how come so few police departments use them?

Walther seems to have derived a large part of its mystique from the James Bond novels. Many of us grew up reading the novels and watching the movies.
Keep in mind that Ian Fleming was almost totally ignorant about guns and the handgun he picked for Commander Bond was a pretty anemic weapon.
I've never been a fan of the PPK but Walther has made some decent handguns. The PPK in .380 is far more unpleasant to shoot than it should be and they have a reputation for unreliability. I don't know about that as I don't own one but I have fired one. I also wasn't impressed with the P99 in .40S&W that I fired. I thought it was a bit harsh compared to other .40 pistols that I have fired.

That being said, the PPQ seems to be pretty popular and it is nice to have more choices. People who have them seem to like them.
I liked the PPS. I came really close to buying one but the funky magazine release threw me.

CK,
I didn't mean to take away from your thread.
There is no denying that Walther has made some iconic firearms.
It's just that the over-the-top language in the ammoland article amused me.

That's the trigger safety

Hammerhead, they are quit close to each other. How does the safety work??

Glock also uses this kind of a safety. I is in the trigger blade. When a finger is placed on the trigger blade and safety the safety lever moves flush with the trigger blade and allows the trigger to be pulled back. Otherwise the trigger won't move back.

I will say that the PPQ does indeed have the best out of the box trigger of any striker fire gun out there today. A few reasons;

The PPQ uses a Single Action Only trigger system, vs. the Glock & M&P which only partially cock the striker, with part of the trigger press going towards cocking and then releasing the striker. That contributes to the mushiness of Glock & M&P triggers, which can be lightened but can't be made crisp. The XD system is also SAO, but uses the trigger pull after the takeup to release the firing pin block as well as drop the sear, which necessarily means it has more creep than the PPQ, which uses the trigger bar to lift the firing pin block before the sear is engaged, allowing a crisp pull with minimal creep.

The PPQ system is actually very close in mechanics to a 1911 trigger although redesigned for use in a striker gun, and it shows.

Also, it's somewhat of a misnomer to call the blade inside the trigger the trigger safety. Anything which would pull the trigger (i.e. for example, a pull cord on a jacket stuck in the trigger guard while re-holstering) will also depress that blade causing the gun to fire - it's happened!

It is actually a drop safety. If it were not there and the firearm were dropped so as to fall facing up, the trigger assembly (including trigger and bar) could have enough inertia to be pulled when the gun hits the ground, firing the gun. The blade is extremely light though, and so in the case of a drop it does not move, in turn blocking movement of the trigger bar in the case of a dropped firearm and preventing discharge of the firearm.

Well explained PeterTheFish!

xl_target - for sure the Walther is endowed with the legendary powers of James Bond - 007!

My musings were did Walther really have to come out with a .45? I mean they have oodles fans and enthusiasts for their traditional calibers.

These are only good for movies.

Likely they perceived that their largest market (USA) wanted a .45 model, as folks here do tend to attribute some almost mythical powers to the .45.

PPK perhaps, but their latest pistols (P99, PPS, PPQ) have all around good ergonomics and great reliability. The PPS was used by special forces as a covert carry weapon shortly after release. For such a short barrel it's a very accurate gun.

I agree with .45 caliber but not with these guns.
Did you shoot these guns?
Did you ever try 1911s?
If you do then please shear your experience with all of us and please tell us what did you see the difference between these two models.
