PPQ in 45!

[bmbutch]

I love my HK 45, and Walther, but all of the signs are there that we will get a VP45 soon! This time, I'll wait rather than buy both the Walther and then the HK. Please let it take my HK 45 mags!

I'm hoping to stay patient as well, & really praying it takes the HK45 mags. I know peeps are hoping for 12-rnd mags, time will tell.

Oh. I hadn't thought of that. It would be bittersweet for sure. It took me a long time to build up to 8 mags on the HK 45, so that would be painful, but it would be nice to have higher capacity. Unlike with my P30 though, I think I would keep my HK 45. I miss the P30. I like the VP9 a lot, but there is just something not quite as good as the p30 felt for me.

I like the VP9, but it isn't as nice as the PPQ IMO, but it is darn close. I'm pretty stoked about this 45 PPQ. 12 rounds is pretty respectable.

I'm in the process of modifying a Glock 30SF so it fits my big hands better. I want a full grip and I have the parts I want. When I'm done it will be my EDC and have 10+1 of 45acp

That PPQ .45 just borders on butt ugly and just ok. Ergonomically wise it might really be something to behold but I'd definitely have to shoot one before considering the purchase. At first sight it just doesn't do it.

I held one in Chattanooga, TN Tuesday at a dealer show...it feels pretty good. It's the same size of the 9's. It does come with 12rnd mags. Should be a good seller.

Was it as ugly in reality as it is in the pics? Still hoping a VP45 comes out before I fondle a PPQ .45

For me, still have my M1 PPQ 9mm, but loved my VP9 enough, picked up another, they are a great pair!

My first attempt at a hi-cap .45 was the XD. It holds 13 +1 and is a very good gun, but just doesn't feel right in my hand, so I tend to carry my 1911 all the time. I will want to hold one in my hand to see how the grip feels. A Walther trigger in a .45 sounds good.

 

[Hohn]

For the price, the Walther PPQ is probably the best gun made today. The trigger is easily the best striker fired of any gun on the market. These should sell well.

Never shot a PPQ-- but my P320 is awfully crisp for a striker gun.

Never shot a walther, but the ergonomics are tremendous. Best feeling gun I've ever held.

I have the PPQ45 one fine pistol. Shoots real well and fits my hand like a glove. I also have the 9 and 40 I think the 45 is a little more accurate than the other. They say it doesn't like lead reload due to the barrel don't know just what I have been told. To me this pistol will best be housed in a shoulder holster not to say the my Blackhawk will not work. For the price I feel it is well worth the cost. It came in for 594 +tax.

It would take an engineering degree to explain why the PPQ trigger has what is more than arguably the best stock trigger for a polymer gun. If not for the 4 lbs of (Trigger Return Spring) spring force being applied to the trigger, it would take almost zero lbs to activate a PPQ trigger. Although the P320 and the VP9 have very nice triggers, the PPQ trigger has to be felt during real firing to be appreciated... You should try it sometime.

This guy explains it better than anyone else I've seen...

Tooele and CDNN both have them as of this moment. Tooele has 3 in stock.

Thanks!

Just held a PPQ-45 at the gun sbow. The grip feels like a PPQ. And the slide is just a little bit bigger

ZX Guns at the 1500 had one today, definitely not the same size as the 9mm!

Yeah I saw that. I did pick it up and it felt good, but not as good as the 9mm. I was also a little disappointed on the look of it. I agree with what others have said that the slide height makes it not look as nice as the 9. Still interested in shooting it though.

I agree it felt pretty good for a .45 and I didn't expect it to be the same size as the 9mm, i'd also like to shoot one.
