Eric...Walther is going to be selling a PPQ (5" barrel) called the PPQ SF. SF stands for Steel Frame. Should shoot nice and apparently it's their comp gun. It's being introduced at ShotShow. Which I can't attend this year. So please get some info and your hands one to do a review. Thanks in advance a long time subscriber.

I love my PPQ 9mm (far and away the most accurate shooting gun I've ever had), but if there was one thing I'd like them to change on the gun is to lower the bore axis to be at least comparable if not better than the Glock bore axis. Making it modular like the 320 might be nice too. :)

Bore axis height is a thing, but it's not as much a thing as some folks make it. If you do your part and address a host of other gun-operating bad habits, you can shoot a high bore-axis faster and more accurately than a low-bore axis pistol where you don't have the discipline to correct bad habits. It's like a rifleman spending high dollar on fancy-grade rifle to "gain advantage", when a professional and experienced rifleman can outshoot his pants 10:1 with a low cost bolt gun.

[@WokeInTruth]

@@Kaizer357 hey im in canada i dont know abt firearms are you guys south of me. Any idea on the best 1911 under 1000 to 1200?

[@Kaizer357]

@@mikea8998 I am definitely south of you. WNY. Honestly, best thing to do...is try what you like out first, see which 1911 shoots better and what doesn't. Idk if you're familiar with .45 cal compared to 9mm, .45 cal will definitely have more recoil than a 9mm. Either one can be chambered in a 1911. There's multiple brands of each caliber for the 1911 but depending on how well you can handle each caliber; you'll find out which can suit you the best. Granted, .45 cal has a lot more stopping power than a 9mm...depending on the bullet: hollow vs fmj which is full metal jacket. Hollows always create more recoil than fmj. As for price, depends on the brand. All top of the line handgun brands will run you quite a bit on the expensive side But the quality is there plus the reliability. I can't complain or have had issues with Colt in Stainless Steel which doesn't rust unless it's lower than 304. Do your research, try them out as I recommend and feel them out. Lastly, enjoy the history behind them and the machining that it took to make the tool. Hope this all works out for you.

[@GranpaMike]

Happy to see you guys do a review on this one (my carry gun). I'm a .45 guy, anyway, so no issues with the extra horsepower. Also, I haven't experienced any problems with the slide release, but I do see how it might trip up some shooters who are used to shooting other guns. You're right on about the accuracy with these, I love mine. Phenomenally accurate, especially with followup shots. The trigger is absolutely amazing. I don't mean to sound like a salesman, here, but I can't help but brag about this gun. If anyone out there is on the fence about which .45 to buy, you can't go wrong with the PPQ 45. Sure, you can find smaller .45s out there if you're wanting it for a carry gun, but if the day ever comes when you need to use your carry weapon, you'll be very relieved if this is what you're pulling out of your holster. Thanks for showing us some of the various ammo, too. I'll give some of these a try. Always nice to have a surprise waiting for the werewolves, right?

I have a PPQ in .40 and the locking block sheared off when I was shooting it.
