Striker-fired pistols have always had one drawback; the trigger. In the accuracy department, the Walther PPQ M2 should outperform most pistols in its class. The sights won’t rust because they’re polymer as is the pistol’s frame so nothing to really worry about there.

Then there are the polymer sights which come standard on most of the models. Last is the Q5 Match, a slightly tweaked 5″ barreled model which also has adjustable sights and is optic ready and features a distinct blue trigger and lightening cuts within the slide.

Unlike traditional American designs, the PPQ's magazine release is a sizable ambidextrous lever on either side of the trigger guard.
