My new PPQ

[shipwreck]

Ok - despite the best efforts of the post office to be late (I shoulda had this in hand yesterday), I FINALLY got my 9mm Walther PPQ in today. On a sunny day, I'll take a better photo - as my camera hates taking pictures of black objects unless they are in direct sunlight. But, I think it is a nice looking gun!

Once I picked up that Walther P99 again (used to have a few), I decided to break down and get a PPQ. I've looked at them ever since they came out. I would have preferred the version with the paddle mag release, but those are no longer available.

Anyway - I got 4 new magazines for it yesterday - so, I actually have my minimum of 6 total all in the begining. A first for me. So, I don't have to try and get one here and there now :)

Can't wait to go shoot it!

Ok, better pics :)

Congrats! I was amazed at the ergonomics of that pistol the moment I picked one up.

Great looking/feeling guns! My girlfriend's Dad is dying for one in .40 cal. Damn near impossible to find. Give a report after your first range trip.

Ok - I got to the range a few days ago finally and put 160 rounds thru it...

Gun is accurate - Pretty good on double taps, and I did some 15 yard shooting and some 1 handed shooting.

I will say that I do prefer the P99 A/S to the PPQ. I just like it better - I guess because of the trigger. The PPQ is more "glockish." I'd also have to shoot them back to back, but the PPQ may have a tiny bit more snap to it. I'm working off memory, though,..

I did buy the gun as a range toy, knowing that I likely wouldn't carry it because it isn't DA/SA. I do occasionally carry my P99 now.

I did also rent the Sig 229 - because I have been considering saving up for a Sig M11A1 (it is essentially the same gun) in the next year. I've decided that while the recoil is pretty low, and it is DA/SA - gun just doesn't do it for me (not at that price point). But hey - renting it is gonna save me close to $900 now :p

So far, nothing still beats my Beretta 92s for my favorite platform. Walther P99 is second. While it would be nice to still own all the guns I have sold in years past to buy the next gun I wanted at the time - I think I've wound my way thru most everything by now.

I know I have stated before that I am taking a new gun hiatus, but I am gonna attempt it again. AT THE MOMENT, there is nothing else I wanna buy...

So, the almost $200 I have on the side that I was saving towards that new Sig can now be saved for something else... After I figure out what :)

I have a LNIB paddle release ppq I'd trade you. I have fired a box (about 50) rounds through it. The reason I don't carry it is because of the paddle release.

I just now saw this - but no thanks. I'm not a used gun person and never have been. Thanks for the offer, though.

Almost a copy of HK P30. I like my HK.

That is a great looking gun. The grip looks nice. Why do you shy away from used guns? Previous situations or just want new?

Both of those are sharp. I've always liked the looks and feel of the Walther's. I even thought my daughter would when picking out her .22LR, but she liked the Colt 1911-22 better. I may end up with a Walther some day.

I still want a PPQ M1...

I have heard nothing but positive feedback on the PPQ. I have a PPS and used to have a PPK and P99 at one time. I miss them both. I want a PPQ one day. Nice pics!
