Friend has one in FDE, I've shot it and LOVE this platform, I want to get one in black along with a StickyHolsters sleeve to stick it down my pants loaded with spicy ammo. He actually had to use his to fend off an attempted break in, flashing the gun in the window made the guy run, the fact that he then went outside and gave a bit of chase really sent him packing!

Oh by the way I have a very important question, I have this same PPQ M2 and it came with a extra spring for rubber balls, now I have ordered the pepper balls that you recommended, do I need to keep the same spring that is inside the gun to use the pepper ball or do I need to change to the extra spring that came inside the box? Any helpful tips on this would be helpful if you have any that’s important.

[@kurt9994]

I appreciate all the work you do. I was checking around on the internet concerning modifications to the ppq43 caliber pistol for increased power. I don't know if these are legitimate modifications or not but what I read was the following to increase the power. Porting the mag deleting the blowback and increasing tension on the spring that actuates the hammer. An individual stated that by doing that using a 2.02 gram steel ball they obtained 465 ft per second supposedly equating to just over 20 joules. I believe they said the second mag still using the same CO2 reduced to 17 plus joules while still staying in the 400 ft per second range. I do not know how to work on these I may not have it exactly right but this is what I read. That would be awesome if this person is being truthful. It was on a Facebook when I inquired about modifications for the ppq43 caliber pistol. You may already know about this just thought I'd try to help. Take care.

@@sven471111 The pepper balls are more or less the point. I have many modified HDR 50s and I’m working on a video for the modification on the HDP 50 and the HDS68. Ammo does make a difference though. I have another video I’m producing using solid aluminum balls as well. They are actually lighter than the riot balls but they seem to hit with more impact. This could be due to the smoothbore, lack of friction, or overall velocity but I will test that in the video. As far as your comment about “it’s just a .43 cal”, you’re only firing at a human. This is not Iron Man you were shooting at. If you hit a sensitive area, an eye, a neck, a throat, a mouth, or ideally you’re using pepper balls, this will absolutely stop anybody.

What are the laws on concealing or open carrying this type of gun

[@AlternateArmsSD]

That would depend on your state. Most states classify these as air weapons, which is to say no different than paintball guns. I have a lot of customers that are truckers that use them because they can carry them across state lines safely. However, keep in mind, some states will allow them, but will not allow the use of pepperballs so you have to stay with a kinetic rounds. I would say check for the state you’re traveling into, out of, or through.

I can only speak from personal experience my friend, I’ve had one punctured since November 2021. I’ll pull it out once a month to fire around that I have not lost any pressure. However, you should definitely practice with your weapon. If you have it, punctured, take it out every month and fire off a few magazines.

I haven’t had any crack yet. However, I have a tendency to change out the pepperballs every 6 months. Environmental conditions can greatly degrade the plastic over a period of time. Heat, cold, and heavy moisture will affect them. However, you can use a very light bead of superglue on the seam as well. You will still get an impact break, but it might stop some of your leaking issues.

[@chriszimmerman9737]

@@AlternateArmsSD that’s a really good idea. I usually don’t leave them in magazines long term. Not without testing how long they can last under a soft spring. I’ve been doing the same thing. Only when it’s really rainy here I might choose to leave the pepperballs at home and just go with the T4E powder balls. They hurt like absolute hell and they are built rock solid. I’ve left one in water overnight, left one in a mag with a heavy spring for a long time. Those are built really well. Problem is pepperballs are so expensive. And I try not to get away from loading these with anything other than what they are advertised to shoot(out here that could land you in hot water, shooting stuff like aluminum balls in public will likely lead to a criminal charge).

I’ve had one pierced in this exact weapon for a little over a year now. Every now and then I’ll pull it out and pop around off just to verify we haven’t lost any pressure and it seems to be fine. A lot of that boils down to how well you maintain your weapon, making sure that you’re using your pellet gun oil, and the quality of the CO2 cartridges.

Those people do not need firearms :-) We do not live in, what I would call, a gun friendly environment right now. If you had to use your actual firearm in a self-defense situation, and you killed somebody, put your hands up because you’re going to jail. The best you can hope for is you did not get some judge that would bury you under the jail for political reasons. And of course, the most important reason, no human being really wants to take the life of another human being. That is something that you would live with for the rest of your life. However, getting that across to some people, it’s just like beating your fist on the wall.

Hi there! Can we add the valve upgrade piece to increase the velocity like the other one you have done? Is it the same kit or is it different? I observed that from around 10m the blue 1.35g blue rubber ball drops alot and rarely hits the target, is this normal for so much drop from such a short distance?

[@AlternateArmsSD]

Greets! The valve upgrade kits are actually for the HDP50, TR50, HDR68, and the HDS. Unfortunately, they will not work for the Walther PPQ. As far as the drop, typically 10 m is going to be on the outside of your typical engagement range. Normally you’re seeing me test from about 8 to 9m when you’re seeing me fire at the targets. That being said, I have effectively targets within a 5 inch radius at 50 feet (about 16 meters). Now, are you noticing this on a fresh CO2 cartridge, or is it on a second or third magazine?

I was just looking at this video a Little closer a few minutes ago. Approximately 1 minute 20 seconds you can see the warning label or white lettering on the right side of the Walther PPQ he's holding. I think he might have misunderstood what you were talking about. They apparently all have it some are underneath the trigger guard though. I don't know about where the Glock has it that might be the one that has it underneath the trigger and the TPM1 I believe you can see it on the slide or real close to the slide on the right side. The talon stick on grips will fit this however if you put them on completely you probably cannot access the back strap hex for installing the CO2 cartridge. If you really wanted to cover that lettering up though you could trim off from the talon stick on grip close to the magazine release area and just use that short part to cover that and not install the rest of that stick on grip. Remember doing that or doing anything else according to what I've read voids the warranty. Also, he said he used denatured alcohol to remove lettering such as that. Again, I'm not recommending you do that just giving you options. It may be illegal depending on what state you live in such as California possibly , I don't know. Hope this helps.

You need to get a nice accurate scale to check your guns/mags for leakage. For my PPQ, I have one mag that hasn't leaked at all for weeks, and another that leaks 0.01-0.02g a day (very negligible amount, but it may get worse?). I keep them pressurized at all times, and check/log the weight each time I need to carry 'em. These devices are designed very well--looks like the things most likely to fail (in my opinion, and from most likely to least): hammer spring, main co2 seal (where the cartridge goes), and firing pin (ESPECIALLY if you like to dry-fire it without a mag inserted). The slide spring may wear out after lots of use, but shouldn't fail all at once. If you value your firing pin and mag rear seal, rack the slide (or make sure hammer is cocked?) before inserting a mag--there are some cases where the firing pin can end up in the way of the mag while it's sliding in... rare, but better safe than sorry, yeh?

[@AlternateArmsSD]

Absolutely! They’re also some mods that can be done on this weapon. I’m working on that now and if I can nail it down, I’ll make a video :-) you’re 100% correct about the firing pen though, keeping it racked when load the mag is a great idea and it will save you maintenance later. As far as the pressure, I’ve had one TPM one pressurized for a little over a year now and an HD P 50 for about eight months. Occasionally I will pull them out and Chrono around and I haven’t seen a substantial drop in pressure yet. Umarex is very good about their warranties as well. Alternatively, there are quick pierce magazines for all of their T4E line. That way, it only pressure rises when you need to use the weapon. It’s not nearly as pretty, but it is practical. Thanks for watching!

​@Complete Technology Solutions if Randy M is such a badass, maybe 15:07 he would like to prove how lame these are as weapons and take several body shots and video the results and post to KZbin. But, of course he won't because he is just a punk with a smarmy loud mouth. He is completely gutless .

Hey man. Just got the new glock in today. Do yourself a favor and get one. It’s well worth the extra money if you can afford it. Absolutely top tier. The fact this is cheaper than a byrna shocks me lol. If you use these for less lethal purposes, absolutely get the glock. It’s a step up in every way build wise.

[@AlternateArmsSD]

Agreed 100%!! It is so hard to tell people how cool these are until the experience them for themselves :-)

@@AlternateArmsSD i was skeptical. Not a glock guy at all here by any means. My background with actual firearms is purely military. Six years as a combat engineer, who oddly enough did have a sidearm lol. I’ve always had to adapt to whatever weapon was issued to me. I assumed that I would be paying for that logo. Wrong. They really put this under the microscope before they shipped it. It even had a quality control number, look into how these are made. The slide is incredible, and the mag release, as well as the magazines are a lot better in many ways.

@@chriszimmerman9737 Are you talking about a real firearm? Or does Glock make a pepper ball launcher? I can't find a Glock pepper launcher when I search online.

@@AlternateArmsSD Is Chris talking about a real firearm or does Glock make a pepper ball launcher? If they do make a pepper ball launcher could you leave a link so I can check it out? Do you also have a link for the .43 pepper balls that you use (the ones you said were really strong)? I did not see a link below that video. Are you still carrying the TPM1 or did you switch to the PPQ? Thank you! Just found your videos.

@@hikerbill9248 Greets Bill! Umarex is released a new Glock 17 GEN five. However, I can’t seem to get one in the United States yet. I have an open order with my distributor but they haven’t arrived at a shipping issues. I’ve actually started making my own 43 caliber pepperballs. They are a very nasty concoction. I should have a shop soon where I can sell them. I’ll let everybody know as soon as were ready. I do actually still carry the TPM1. I alternate between that one, the Walther, and my Byrna. It’s fairly simple since they all fit in the same holster :-)
