Walther PPQ M2 NAVY 9mm

[@1SmartMofo]

You don't have to bring the slide back for takedown. It's not a Glock. Check your chamber make sure it's empty, pull the trigger, pull the takedown tabs down and pull the slide off. The absolute easiest gun to takedown, this is one of the best features of the PPQ that gets over shadowed by its amazing trigger.

[@mr.potato7440]

I have the walther ppq m2 9mm 4" barrel, I've put 450 round through it and it has not jammed or anything.. I fucking love this gun, hands down best gun I've ever bought so far

I just want to say thank you Eric and Chad . you make it easy for us newbies to understand what you doing. explaining what you're doing and how you're doing it and the problems that arise are excellent thank you very much for making it simple for us I'm sure some of the people that have they've been doing it as long as you guys have are probably bored with it but I do appreciate you guys taking tablet explaining exactly what is happening and what is going wrong with the weapon thank you very much.

[@Iraqveteran8888]

+Hans Adelfang dude there's nothing boring about my job! I get to break guns and take you guys along for the ride. We enjoy reviewing guns. I realize that reviews may not necessarily be what people are here for, but I'd like to think we do an okay job. Thanks for the support.

[@Hans-gk1hr]

+Iraqveteran8888 well then KEEP doing what you all Love because I, not only do I enjoy them as much as you all making them. I LOVE what you all do. Keep up the Great job! Also have been subscribed to full 30. and have them on my you tube. They also do a Great job. sorry for babbling. Anyway thank you again...

[@NJ240sxMan]

The only difference is the mag release, so if people prefer the paddle-style they get the m1.

[@chrissabre1761]

and they cannot use the same mag, doh... im going m2 as I think there might be more support for it.

[@1SmartMofo]

+Chris Sabre well there is equal support for either ppq m1 or m2 you can't go wrong. They take same recoil spring options, sights, grips and holsters. If you get the m1 you can use Walther p99 mags if you get the m2 you can use the canik tp9 mags.

[@leightodd7335]

Had the same thing broken on a PPQ M2 that I bought used. Sent it to Walther and they fixed it in short order at no cost including shipping. I have put 300 rds are so through it since with no problems. Love the gun and the customer service.

[@fjamato]

I absolutely LOVE my Walther PPQ M2 9mm. I recently just purchased the .45ACP version. I've run several courses and about 1000+ rounds through her. No issues. Very good gun and the trigger is fantastic out of the box. I did change out my sights to Dawson Precision FO sights.

[@doogals]

Thank you for shooting the dirt! Now, we can hear (or not hear) the noise of the gun.

[@mlmerricks]

I love the PPQ. I've got 3 of them, two in the 9mm and one in 45. I love this gun! Much better than most others!

[@TheWWCP]

Got my PPQ M2 Navy last week and put 200 rounds thru it the other day. I love this gun and the trigger is amazing.

[@marklindner4677]

Great review. I love,love my Walther PPQ M2 and PPS M2. The quality of Walther firearms coming out of the Ulm,Germany factory is phenomenal. Which is where the PPQ and PPS are assembled.

[@elijaht.wreckingball5532]

Bought a PPQ M2 last October (standard model) and love it. The trigger out-of-the-box may be a bit light for carry, but for a range gun it's hard to beat.

I love my M1 9mm. I know some people are iffy on carrying it because of the target-esque trigger, but I have no qualms with it. I carry mine every day. Great video, as always.

[@joshuasimmons696]

gotta say, I really enjoyed this video, I had alot of fun watching you guys have fun with what you love to do. so many gun vids don't carry the actual enjoyment of why some of us just love to shoot guns!

[@rickross337]

Just got the PPQ M2 5"... Can't wait to get it out on the range!!!

[@DocLarsen44]

I have one of these and I love it. I have put a small 3 port (2 side & 1 up) muzzle break on it. Together with trigger I can fast shoot multiple rounds with unbelievable accuracy. However, I have had some FTEs when using old cheap 115gr ammo. When using quality ammunition (any modern commercial), I have never had an issue with the pistol. When I carry this pistol, which isn't often due to its size, I feel completely confident that I am WELL armed.

[@anthonythomas1735]

My love affair with shooting started during my 7 years service in the British Army and I can relate to the big cheesy grins on the faces of these guys when shooting, as I'm sure many other subscribers to this channel can too! Great video guy's as always, very informative, interesting and fun to watch. Keep up the great work you do at showing weapons I have not seen before or indeed weapons I have heard of but not seen in the flesh being operated.

The ejection on that gun is very consistent.

It's been quite interesting to watch Chad come out of his shell over the last year or two. My friend worked with him at his last job and i would see him occasionally there and he has just lightened up so much it seems since then

[@porkins93]

A rifle should be your primary weapon of choice. Like always.

[@moparedtn]

The PPQ is an excellent pistol. IMO it's the best striker-fired pistol out there south of $1000. Eric mentions it somewhat, but this thing has an AMAZING trigger, not to mention the reset is around a tenth (.10) of an inch! I have the M1, which has the "European" paddle-style mag release, which I've grown to love as well as it is ambidextrous. I've run pretty much everything in 9mm through it and been pretty brutal with it and it's been rock-solid reliable. Several thousand rounds later and to date (knock wood), not a single malfunction. Not one. Eric is correct, though. The sights are cheesy. First thing I did to mine was install some night sights on it. Gun is tack-driver accurate.

[@stephenmcorby]

Just picked up the Walther PPQ M2 .45 and it is absolutely amazing. Such an incredibly smooth shooter. The trigger is excellent and frankly I can't imagine a better gun to have next to your night stand or at the range. I have a few other guns as well, but this thing really seems like a great all arounder. Awesome review! P.S. I've put about 250 rounds through mine and the slide locked to the rear every single time. I know the slidestop is what messed yours up, but just wanted to mention it.

[@thisismagacountry1318]

Phathom They say recoil on the Walther 45 is 30% lower than a 1911. Do you agree?

[@callofgeorge]

this is my primary suppressor host, and one of my favorite pistols by far.. amazing trigger, controls, grip, etc.. love it.. i did replace the basic military style sites for some tru-glo's which make it even better.. and freedom munitions is pretty much all i feed through it too.. i highly recommend to any and all.

[@callofgeorge]

+callofgeorge as for the slide stop, Walther will probably warranty that no problem. I've never had an issue out of my ppq, but they replaced the whole slide on my p22 after an overcharged round blew the extractor off.

[@joshg2350]

I looked at a Walther P99 while my wife was shopping at Gander Mountain and the P99 was one of the most comfortable guns I've ever put in my hand. I mean it for perfect. I will probably purchase one in the future.

[@dbnarizona]

Honesty is why I prescribed to your channel. Awesome and keep it up!

[@Soberglitch]

The flag on his jacket isn't backwards, it is just the American way to wear a flag. It's how a flag looks when you're moving forward and it is flapping back with the wind. This is how a lot of soldiers and aircraft display their flags around the world as well.

[@54eu]

+TR-8R I got a uniform, almost the same one but mine is from "Heimevernet" which is kind of a civilian protection devision and you can join them when you're 16. But the flag on that one is also backwards, so it's not just an american way to wear a flag.

[@arnjhon]

+DDK Josef Stalin it's the military way of wearing a flag on your arm. It's supposed to be pointing backwards and on the right shoulder.

[@54eu]

and then it's not just the american way like TR8-8R said.

[@54eu]

exactly.

[@marcinszczesny4392]

Many ideas and technical solutions in PPQ, comes from Walther P99 RAD established at the Arms Factory in Radom in Poland. The P99 Rad database was P99.

[@craigzoppa7452]

Chad was like a kid with a new toy...good for you brother glad to see some real enjoyment.

[@stbr0510]

The slide is not locking back because you are riding the slide lock with your thumb. I had the same issue until I learned to keep my thumb away.

[@PC-gs7pv]

Bingo, glad someone pointing this out.

[@jordangoggin1320]

He said slide stop is broke

[@willws2conceptsshephard]

Exactly

[@ramb0nat0r]

I had that first , thought was a PPQ fail, then it locked open while there was still rounds in the mag, thought was the PPQ, but finally found out i was the failure. Awesome gun!

[@EthosAtheos]

My PPQ has only failed to lock back once. The cause was powder build up in the follower in the mag. The follower has an ear that pushes up on the slide lock. The follower if fowled will not rise up high enough to push up the slide lock.

[@prayfortruejustice]

I use the 5" version of the PPQ for competitions and I agree the trigger is excellent, but the sights suck. I would love to see some reviews on upgraded sights.

[@roul3688]

One phone call to walther will take care of that slide stop. Walther had great customer service and fixed an old ppk/s that they didn't even make, for free.

[@whisky37]

I bought a brand new PPQ from the factory and have NEVER had the slide fail to stop on an empty mag. I have DUMPED rounds through this thing and have never had even a single issue.

[@michaelhoffman8204]

I have the PPQ M2 w/o the threaded barrel. I have Hundreds of rounds through mine. Not a single hiccup. Excellent fit and finish. I love the gun. I think its equal to if not better than the HK VP9. It's in my CC rotation because of how reliable it has been for me.

[@johnwilkerson5508]

Sorry to hear about the broken slide stop. That's one of my favorite features of the gun. It's about the perfect dimensions.

[@vadha1]

i have a few pistols, this is my absolute favorite. I swapped the sites out with Trijicon Night Sites and added a Viridian XL5. Its just awesome.

[@PaulSter]

Extra soft spot for my PPQ M2 as I used it to qualify for my LTC. My wife got me the granular Talon grips, along with a headlight. Oh yeah! For conceal carry, it's too fat in the grip for me, personally, to carry, but great for so many other uses. I absolutely love it on so many levels. I'm a short guy, so will choose something thinner for personal carry.

[@3diott]

Very good video guys. I purchased a PPQ pretty much from this presentation and love it. Now to get that suppressor!!!. Didn't even know they existed

[@vdub5818]

First thing I did with my PPQ M1 is replaced the sights with a Dawson Precision fiber optic front and a Dawson Precision blacked out target rear sight. Granted at the time they were the only aftermarket company making PPQ sights, but I absolutely love them.

[@davidhaas6258]

I have a PPQ M2 and was experiencing the slide not locking to the rear on the last shot as well. Check where your thumbs are on the pistol while you're shooting. I was touching the slide release and that is what was causing it to not lock open. It doesn't seem to take much pressure for this to happen.

[@davidhaas6258]

[@shnebs3013]

18:01 why would you even do that 😂😂

[@KjCanals]

Hey eric - Greetings from Germany The reason why guns for German military use (police im not sure) need a certain trigger weight is because of a drop test. In a manual out of the time my dad was in military service (1980s) a new test was mentioned ; G3 rifles needed to pass a drop test from a few more feet than standard because the bundeswehr made poor experience with uzis falling and firing. I think they just kept the new drop height and expanded it to pistols, so new models still have to comply and triggers are heavier. Keep up the good work :)

[@thormusique]

You guys are the best! Thanks for this. And I love that PPQ!

[@DiscoRiver]

I live in the UK so unfortunately I can't own a firearm, but your videos do a great job of scratching that itch :)

[@OzarkW1]

since Rick from the walking dead is British he may not even know he's using a gun. For example, when he taught that boy how to shoot that glock and he pointed to the serrations and said "here's your safety, flip that and your ready to fire."

[@ScheleJ]

The problem with the slide not locking back is due to your thumb or part of your hand holding down the slide release. I had this same issue with mine until I figured out what I was doing. I had to make a conscious effort to keep my thumb away from the slide release. I'm used to it now but it took awhile :). Edit: not a broken slide stop, just a grip adjustment. One other edit: The M2 Navy comes with a second recoil spring that is meant to be used with a suppressor - not sure if you guys were running that spring while testing with the suppressor on?

[@u713d99]

I've had the PPQ M2 for just over a year and had two issues both to do with grip, Firstly, I was touching the mag release and the mag dropped out a couple of times. Pete at the Armory Channel pointed this out and hated it. I haven't had it since becoming aware of it. Secondly, the slide not locking back. I think I was press my thumb against it and causing it. Again, once aware of it, no probs. Love the weapon.

[@thisismagacountry1318]

benny walsh Sigs don't have that problem.

[@markwilliams813]

This gun is amazing. I've had mine for over a year now and only applied frog lube when I first got it. Never had a problem. I conceal carry it everyday with an alien gear holster and a surefire xc1, very comfortable. easily the best out of the box gun I have ever owned. can't wait to suppress it

[@ohcliffy]

+Mark Williams would you say better than a glock trigger wise? I ask because I am considering one of these for my first pistol.

[@BurnTheNuance]

+Cliff Walker Glock triggers suck in general, but yes the PPQ has a far better trigger than your stock Glock.

[@markwilliams813]

+Cliff Walker definitely better than a glockenspiel trigger. gets even better after 1000 rounds too

[@markwilliams813]

[@freshfowler1398]

a great video an even better gun!! glad to see Chad having fun or coming out of his shell!! I think very highly of u both!! Shot alot of service pistols and hands down the PPQ wins...not to mention great for women as well!!

[@fearnonebutone4977]

I bought the PPQ Navy after I went through a period of buying all HK’s. While is still have and love all my HK’s, and also love my Glock 19X and Glock 45... I have to say that the PPQ has become one of my favorites. I liked my Navy so much, that I bought a second PPQ (not Navy). Both will be getting Meprolight night sights. If you go with an Osprey suppressor, you don’t need taller sights.

[@TurnStyleGames]

Good video. As an owned of a couple of Gen 1 PPQs (M1, Classic etc.) I can agree with the trigger being almost too light. Not a concern for competition, running courses of fire - but as an ex-LEO I probably wouldn't have gone with it as a choice. Regarding the slide not locking back (when not broken!), pretty common with the larger slide-releases (happened frequently on similar HK duty pistols I carried). Simple fact is our thumbs/fingers ride up a bit in a proper grip and tend to knock it out of place, preventing the gun from locking open. It's something you can counter with a small grip change, but I did it for four years in a row on/off with my old duty P2000. While the slide release is easy to manipulate and ambidextrous, it's large size does result in that issue.

[@joslinnick]

Coming back to this video after a few years, I definitely agree with Eric that the sights are a little cheap. Other than that, a PPQ will not disappoint you.

[@ComKFOR]

That's a beautiful jacket you got there Eric. Great video by the way. I am not a Walther fan myself, but I would not roll over and refuse it.

[@erpelmail]

I have the same pistol and have had slide stop malfunctions as well. I'll have to inspect it now that I have seen the problem you are having. I should add that my slide in not locking back but it's not doing it all the time probably 25% of the time.

[@DocMitchell69]

It might just be your grip. A high grip on the pistol will hold the slide release down, not allowing the slide to lock back.

[@doug_hurlburt]

Really loving the Norwegian camo. Thumbs up for that!

[@ekhill88]

Possible reason for the slide not catching on the last round is cause your thumb is resting on the slide release from what I can see. I know I had the same problem when I first got my Walther Navy and I couldn't figure out why it was not catching.

[@DomRampage]

Great gun! I've it, too... I love it. Very nice that you don't blame the gun or company, for this malfanction. You are very objective! Thumbs up and abo for this channel for that.

[@snedling]

Put one of the thicker palm swells on the gun. I had the same problem with the slide not locking on the last round. The slide stop is too long and is easily engaged by a thumbs-forward grip.

[@biojui1]

Cover the Walther PPK pls I saw it in Spectre and fell in love.

[@jmar1723]

My PPQ doesn't lock to the rear occasionally as well. My hand always rests on that big lever for the slide lock and prevents it from locking back. User error from what I've experienced - seems like anyone who uses it has the issue just based on grip.

[@Vigilant-Concepts]

I personal am bias because I carry this gun every single day! how I tell people about it is this- Shoot it, BUY IT, LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ramsrepublic8477]

Walther's warranty should cover the slide catch. - Even if you are not original purchaser.

[@screwylight2329]

you got a norwegian jacket im from norway youre my favourite youtube gun channel

[@wccrispy]

I purchased the PPQ M1 in Sept. It's great. I prefer the paddle mag release now or at least Walther's version of it.

[@Twigandberries502]

Seen quite a few people complain about the slide not locking back to the rear on the last shot. In every case, people reported that the problem was due to their grip and hitting the slide release with their thumb. Me personally, I don't rest my offhand grip that high up, and subsequently, have never experienced the problem

[@nayr8453]

It's fairly easy to do. I had the same issue.

[@piecartbox]

I bought a regular M2 last year, best handgun I've shot... easy. Small and medium grips both work well for me, but I keep the small on it.. with the hump it works well... I've never once had an issue with the slide stop, but it is HUGE and long(twss)... When a friend shoots it he regularly rides it and it won't lock back on an empty mag. Forum issue imo.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

Can't wait to see if the Hearing Protection Act passes. I'll be so psyched if it does.

[@drmaudio]

I got a chance to put a few mags through one of these at a rental range (the original version). For me, I think the trigger is a little light for carry, but what an awesome range/competition gun. Sweet shooter!

[@andrewkunz1340]

I've carried the Q almost every day since early 2013. Probably 11k rounds based on my email receipts from freedom mun. The slide has never fail to lock except when I've had my thumb on the catch. It will feed and fire anything in 9x19. The grip is admittedly very slick and I have corrected it by gluing grip tape all over it. Sights are cheap but they work fine. I've run the Q through both tactical response and Ludus. If you're considering this gun, get it. You will not be disappointed with the performance or the trigger.

[@Len_M.]

They have Talon grips if you need.

[@andrewkunz1340]

There weren't any aftermarket options back then so I just used what I had. The super glue and skateboard tape is holding up well so I cannot complain.

[@hemi5.7awdpursuit5]

I’m definitely getting PPQ .45 acp compact this month

[@Wangan300]

a lot of the slide lock back issues comes from the shooter. It's very easy to leave your thumb on one which will obviously prevent it from locking.

[@davemartin6053]

Hello just want to say I love your videos from Canada here !! I have a p99 and a PPQ and about 2000 rounds though both and not one gun failure !!! But we are also not aloud suppressors here ..... so if that is a problem with the ppq I'll never know . Keep up the good work , look forward to seeing many more vids !

[@rush2124u2]

Great video guys. Another great 9mm,. You know it's getting very hard trying to buy my first 9mm so many models so many good guns.

[@CKKnifeandTool]

We have two and they are a nice alternative to the G19. Both our POQ M2's in 9mm pull left, no matter the shooter and I noticed that yours did as well. You'll find reviews out there and a couple also mention that problem. I have not replaced the factory sights yet on the two but it will be interesting to see if that solves the problem. Other than that, we do like ours. I still prefer a G19 or a 1911 but the Walther's are a great choice.
