Walther PPQ M2 Pistol

[@psulionbacker2529]

I traded in my Glock 19 a few years back, but not because it wasn't a great handgun. It just didn't feel right in my hand, and after trying the Walther PPQ, I found where I wanted to be. I come back and watch this video every once in a while as it is a wonderful review of all facets of this handgun. Very well done review.

[@colinmoriarty]

walther makes some damn good firearms

[@Lex5576]

You can tell the Germans made that pistol. The machine work on the inside of that thing is amazing. Nary a tool mark to be found. Excellent.

[@DeePsix501]

Sootch, this video helped my decide to buy my PPQ in 2014. It's still my favorite handgun and has had zero failures. Thanks for doing this video!

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

Glad you like it bro! It's a amazing pistol, and I love mine!

[@skittykitty1000]

Great video again! No rambling, no playing with the slide like a five year old kid, no bias just a good look at the gun with good info. Thanks!

[@bennwj]

We just bought a PPQ M2 for my 13 year old son to shoot IDPA. I wanted a gun in 9mm that would fit his hand. With the adjustable backstraps this gun will fit any hand. The trigger is an absolute dream....way better than any of my Glocks of XD pistols. Extremely accurate as well. My wife wants one for herself and so do I.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

+William Bennett The PPQ is a sleeper hit. The secret is finally out. The PPS steel sights fit on the PPQ with minimal filing and are great.

[@bennwj]

Walther is not marketing this gun very well at all in the US

[@protectiverailroaddad7541]

One of the best if not the best pistols on the market. I have glocks, sigs, m&p's, hk's, rugers, etc..... And this is my favorite

[@jimhovater8755]

Same here.👍

[@TheLateBoyScout]

I like the idea of this M2 version. Putting the controls in a standard position just makes sense.

[@weaponeer8582]

I'm a major fan of the classic. I hope that they keep both available. I'm looking a a Classic Navy version.

[@robertsutton1295]

I like the paddle mag release. Actually prefer it.

[@ianh4297]

lmao "15 rounds for the free states. 10 rounds for the not so free." i love it.

[@zerkfiter]

+Ian H ..hits home for me I'm in Connecticut..not so free.

[@michaell5619]

+henry ford I'm in NY ours is 7rds for handguns!!

[@Breaker197]

+Michael L good Lord! I thought it was ten. Did they recently change it. I was just looking up N.Y. law the other day as my wife may end up with a high paying job there. xP

[@michaell5619]

+Shotgun Zombie last I checked it was 7, hope they changed it though, won't have to carry as many mags then to make up for it haha

[@Breaker197]

Michael L Right on. Thanks dude! If she does get the job, I probably won't bother trying to get a carry permit, as we will only stay for a couple years, then right back on home to countryland Pennsyltuckey where we can have the larger mags, carry easily and buy practically whatever whenever, and go to the range down the road at pretty much any given time. XD Respect for having the carry permit in NY my man! Well done! =D

[@johnhope9319]

whats crazy about this gun is the trigger just gets better and better the more rounds you put in it. It gets really smooth after 1500 rounds or so. Im not kidding when i say its the best striker fired trigger ever made. Period.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

You can smooth it yourself with a little Flitz polish on the trigger components. The main drag is from the camming surface of the safety cam on the trigger bar where it hits the slide safety plunger. No need to wait.

[@tangotango256]

WOW 1500 ROUNDS !! HAD MY P99 SINCE 2000 MAYBE 300 ROUNDS ????

[@dc68781]

I got to get one of these pistols, I seen a m1 but just not a fan of trigger guard mag release, I dry fired and couldn't believe the trigger, good review as always!

[@swatnc8051]

Like most German products they are quality and well done. I have an old Walter pp it nice to still see they still put the target they tested the pistol with.

[@jimkohn9685]

I have one of the original PPQ's with the paddles. Being left handed it makes for very quick mag release. Love it! Can't wait for the 5" M1. I started with the Glock 19 and sold it after testing at the range. 65 yards at a 10"X20" steel target...3 out of 10 with the Glock and 8-9 out of 10 with the PPQ. I did this 3 times to confirm. The 19 was sold.

[@WeaponsEducation]

OK , I'll get another gun, you sold me:)

[@sootch00]

Lord knows you need it : ) You will love it my friend.

[@MrRoboskippy]

I hope you go get one Tom. I like to see you do a review on it. Including range time.

[@milliethemillinator3154]

I love mine. 🙂👍

[@will00003]

So far he hit the bullseye the best with this 9mm

[@Name-tf4qp]

I want..."Drools" held one, the most comfortable grip Ive ever held in my life.

[@B-TAk]

When a gun gets a review like this from sootch and many other big names on KZbin, it makes for an easy purchase. You did not let me down. I love my PPQ. Thanks!

[@Bubnazty]

My PPQ M1 is easily my favorite pistol. Great ergos, awesome trigger and the M1 has the paddle release which I prefer with my small hands. I've got glocks, XD, HK and more. I'll buy other handguns in the future for the collection but I really doubt they will be able to beat the PPQ.

[@djmx121]

PPQ is the most underrated pistol out there. I have a 2nd gen with paddles. Best 9 mm I have ever owned. Well over 2500 rounds through and not one malfunction. It eats everything from Critical Defense to White Box to Wolf. Reliable, urgo, and accurate. Trigger is primo right out of the box. What more can you ask for.

[@andrewelliott123]

I have a P99 and it's awesome! Looking forward to getting the PPQ. Smooth accurate and very easy to use. I am forever sold on them.

[@louisvillegunsandgear7487]

The best PPQ review of all time!!!!!!!

[@truthrevealed9293]

Man let me tell you sumthin this is one of the best handguns hands down guaranteed

[@stevebertelli2501]

The glock is my favorite pistol with a double stack mag. This looks like a glock from the future, I need one. Has all the best features of the glock but more redefined. Good review.

[@sambezious]

This video is one of the ones that helped me decide on getting a PPQ M2. Just bought it last Friday at Bud's in Sevierville! I can't wait to take it to the range tomorrow. Thank you so much for the informative video. ~Sam

[@RRAMJET82]

Shot it at A Gander Mountain free range shoot. And was a pure joy to shoot. Yes the trigger is that good.

[@fern_gully]

I've been very satisfied with my PPQ M1 Classic for the last few years, and I really enjoyed your review. It's very well done, and as a huge fan of the PPQ... it's just fun to see it being enjoyed by others! Great video.

[@mattcimp7]

I just got one of these as my 1st handgun a little over a month ago and I love it! 100 steel cased rounds so far without a hiccup straight out of the box. My fingers are so thick they only fit the grooves on full sized glocks and and I wanted something smaller so this was it.

[@BIGMFBEN]

Mid 40's and just purchased my first three guns over the last 6 months. Really enjoy your videos and reviews! Even if I don't own the gun, I watch for the knowledge. Thank you! Be well!

[@ThatOneDudeNick]

This is the most detailed look at this pistol that I could find. Much appreciated. I thought I had my decision made for my first handgun, but this PPQ jumped to the top of my list. Especially with the $100 rebate they have going right now. Subscribed.

[@lrm1981]

This video sold me - picked one up yesterday!

[@scottliegel855]

I have the Walther PPQ M1 and have to say it's my all-time favorite, the trigger is perfect, and you have no trouble keeping your rounds in the same group every time, like they say, you get what you pay for, and you just can't go wrong on the PPQ.

[@MrRoboskippy]

Thanks for the great review. I picked up a PPQ M2 a few weeks ago and I just love it.

[@steeler3258]

Well sootch00, now you have given me another thing to think about. I was set on getting the FNs 9 but I really am liking this gun.

[@donfrossa790]

Long live the Republic 🇺🇸 🎊 🎉 💥

[@WorldEagleKW]

I love the music you place at the beginning of your videos. They make the firearms truly feel like an art of engineering. Keep the good videos up.

[@benvaira5238]

Just bought this baby today, loving it so far!

[@MrKdickerson1969]

PPQ M1 or M2 is on my birthday wish. Sootch00 is by far the best at person to review hand guns. Keep up the good work!

[@cd4playa1245]

I feel like Scootch is one of the best gun reviewers. Him and Firearm guy.

[@millslite1221]

Great review. The fact you take the time to edit your videos is appreciated. I really need to range test this pistol.

[@sootch00]

Thanks Brother. If I didn't edit my videos, they'd be 2 hours long! Lol! The PPQ rocks.

[@SkinnyMedic]

I had a great time shooting this pistol!

[@edog6025]

Great review! I was at the range this past Saturday and I met a former Marine that had this gun. Dead on shooter. Thanks!

[@Tbone42tx]

THIS IS MY FAVORITE HANDGUN HANDS DOWN!!!

[@Tbone42tx]

Yes love it....looking to get the 45 next month. Almost did but saw a new sig 229 for $649 so went with that, figure if it's not my style I'll have no problem getting $750 for it

[@Tbone42tx]

***** IMO..YES

[@CenterTree777]

+Tony Tyler AGREED!!

[@Tbone42tx]

Tony Viera KOOL CONGRATS!!! YEAH I'M DEBATING ON GETTING THE PPQ45 NEXT WEEK OR A SIG 224 EXTREME, BIRTHDAY GIFT TO MYSELF😀 I'M THINKING THE SIG SEEING HOW I'LL SAVE $340!!! FOUND ONE ON SALE FOR A GREAT PRICE!!! ANYWAY ENJOY THAT 45 LET ME KNOW HOW IT SHOOTS

[@tonyviera8107]

+Tony Tyler the 45 shoots very nice you'll like it.

[@wiryone1]

I wish more people would give this pistol a go. For a stock gun, the trigger is truly a dream.

[@lchamp423]

I love my M1 PPQ. Love it...love it...love it...

[@edgarpulling6700]

Hands down best trigger out of box without any modifications. Probably my favorite handgun on the market. The PPS is a great one as well. Thanks for the video Sootch.

[@ebomey]

I have the PPS and P99 in 40cal ... I guess I need to add to the safe. Great review!

[@sootch00]

Sounds like you'd round out your collection Brother : ) Thanks Eric.

[@Urkie1979]

Thanks to this video, and more than a little bit of influence from *****, I'm planning to get this one. The Boss has already made it clear that I can't start a collection so I better choose carefully which pistol to go with...I think this is it..

[@Urkie1979]

***** At the closest place to me that I can find one (M2 at The Gun Dealer) it'll run around $900. So it'd be a one and done probably...looks like well worth it.. :-)

[@Urkie1979]

***** It's looking like Spring when I can get it...that's Bonus time..if the company hands them out this year...been a couple of SNAFU's at the refinery last year..

[@ebomey]

Nick U. Still waiting on mine .. trying to find it with the threaded barrel.

[@frankthetank5128]

Best handgun period fits like a glove shoots like a dream

[@reddragon6026]

I have the 5 inch model. it's awesome.

[@bigericjumps]

Proud to say I'm the new owner of a PPQ M2 Navy SD. What a magnificent gun!! If only Walther would bring the price of mags and accessories down...BTW, one of my two mags that came with mine is marked as 15 rounds, but holds 17. I figured that out by looking at the description on the Walther website.

[@jennyrebekah]

"Be strong! Be of good courage! God Bless America! Long live the Republic!" Love it!

[@goretro77hobbies]

+Jennifer Billis-Gehrke In this time and age its great to know there are PATRIOTS in the USA! God Bless America!

[@jennyrebekah]

Yep and now one finally lives in the White House again! We haven't had that for 8 years!

[@Mike-4547]

Jennifer Billis-Gehrke Amen !!

[@DeePsix501]

This is such a great pistol. I've had mine for a year, and would not change my decision to buy it if I had choice - even with the HK VP9 becoming more popular. Not a single malfunction, perfect ergos, and super accurate. I love that it's done right, straight out of the Walther box.

[@OilTheGun]

Great handgun.

[@billyshob]

I really appreciate your review on this amazing pistol. It was truly a joy to watch as you mention all of the great things about it. I was agreeing and shaking my head till the very end! It was my first firearm purchase a year ago for concealed carry and will probably be the only pistol I'll ever need. Thanks for the hard work and effort. It doesn't go unnoticed, as you can tell!

[@brazmann9571]

Now that is a tactical pistol if I ever saw one

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

With the Hearing protection bill, this with a silencer is going to be so friggin' awesome.

[@flemingp89]

I like how it comes from the factory with polished feed ramps!

[@timyang4710]

Good review. I held this gun and try the trigger. I love the trigger...I think its the best striker-fire trigger ever, the only one that comes close is the HK VP9. But PPQ wins by a hair. I'm getting mine this weekend, the 5" version. You should do a review on the 5".

[@jamesricco5252]

Great review! Was torn between this and the S&W M&P. This review made up my mind after seeing the quality workmanship, trigger response and overall looks of the firearm...

[@savagelouie7007]

Thank you so much, i just got this gun 2 days ago. I just need to figure out how to tell my wife.

[@williamtate5384]

Another great video sootch. I picked a ppq awhile back and love it! It even makes me a decent shooter.

[@Bosn1ac]

Love my 4" M1 PPQ and my 5" M2. Great review. Great pistol.

[@shanelen]

OUTSTANDING review, you are the gold standard of you tube reviewing :) I plan to get one at the Gun Show coming up at Rupp Arena in Lexington, KY

[@GARYMANDIEVAN]

Great review Brother I have the PPQ in 9mm they are Great Pistols

[@thomaslewis8438]

Very impressive weapon, very impressive video. One of the best-produced videos I've seen. Kudos.

[@OuterHeaven210]

I just got one of these. This exact model. My first firearm. Can’t find any ammo but I can’t wait to go with an instructor to the range!

[@louiso6537]

Excellent review! Rented one at the range a week ago and first 5 rounds were right on target at 7 yrds (2.5" spread) - I was amazed as I am just an average shooter. The feel of this gun in your hand is amazing and it seems light weight compared to many others. I ordered one last week from Buds and hope to get it soon.

[@HCrum87]

Great choice Sootch. I'm in love with my PPQ M1. I wasn't expecting to like the paddles as much as I do.

[@Hyasuma_Pew]

I love my PPQ M2 Navy edition, looking forward to get a 5" in the future for competition gun. Got to love my Walther~

[@mikearonson8201]

Great review. Agree with all your points. Up in Canada these are between 900 - 1100 an with a threaded barrel, for which no-one can ever acquire a silencer, as they are illegal. The trigger is awesome and re-set.

[@chriscool1680]

**Be strong ~ Be of good courage** **God Bless America ~ Long live the Republic!**

[@bentpolski]

I have tested a bunch of 9's. I chose The PPQ . I'm VERY HAPPY with this Pistol!

[@amosshih8313]

Can you compare Walther PPQ M2 with Sig P320 and HK VP9? Thanks

[@sgarretson315]

I've had this wonderful pistol in 40 cal for a while now and I love it. My only dislikes about it are the magazine prices and lack of accessories. I did manage to find a sale at midway usa on some extended mags, which have been hard to find at a discount anywhere. They normally retail for over 40 dollars (sometimes 50) a piece and I found them for about 25 so I picked up 3 more. Some people don't like the air between the factory sights but I have no problem with them. No one I know complains about the trigger because it's the best factory trigger I've ever seen and it really complements the excellent ergos and grip quite nicely. I recommend anyone interested in this pistol to try it out at their local range, if they rent these. I did and I compared it to Glock, Smith and Wesson and Springfield offerings and I liked the total package on the Walther best. I also own a Glock 27 for EDC so this isn't a slight against those other companies, just a preference. Highly recommended. Thanks for the video.

[@Atombender]

Difference in capacity between the 9mm and the .40 is quite substantial. Normally you would expect 2 rounds less but 4 rounds? For comparison, the Glock 22 holds 15 rounds in .40 and both are full size.

[@torreyintahoe]

My second favorite gun channel after Hickock. Love the acka dacka intro. This, along with a gun crafter 1911, is my EDC pistol.

[@floridafyme]

I just bought one. It came with a 15 and a 17 round mag.

[@ahmedadnan100]

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

That's sweet! Usually only the first edition came with those.

[@J3ffCat]

I have a P22 and feel in love with how Walther's "feel." Looks like this could be my next purchase! Well done video!

[@BERETTA9mmUSA]

Awesome video Sootch. Your giving this pistol the credit it deserves... We love this gun. Were planing on picking up another PPQ in .40 cal in the next week or 2. When you have time come check out a few of our video's.

[@calebjamescaleb]

Huge props for shooting through the view finder

[@oscardelta1257]

IMO better than the HK VP9 and less expensive to boot.

[@Calbenmike]

Oscar Delta The VP9 is garbage.

[@Calbenmike]

Zach Zach There are numerous reliability test videos on KZbin that show it's anything but.

[@champy1210]

Calbenmike There are plenty of reliability tests that contradict those to which you are referring. It is VERY reliable. People need to consider sample size and variables; not all mud, sand and water (with debris) are equal. MAC's test was not scientific.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

The fact is H&K said the VP9 isn't supposed to be a combat ready gun, whereas the PPQ is essentially identical to the PPQ Navy (obviously combat ready) sans marine cups and a drainage hole. I've put my PPQ through a wicked torture test and it was fine.

[@leftcoaster67]

I have a PPQ M1 Navy. I'm left handed, and I don't mind the paddle magazine release. Best Semi I've ever owned!

[@lebron3566]

lovely pistol, i think im going to get one.

[@jimkohn9685]

I was reading some of the comments and the ones that don't like it have obviously not shot one. I have an XD, I shot the M&P CORE 5.25, shot the H&K, Glock, Sig and I would buy a second PPQ before I'd spend money on something I wouldn't use. I actually traded a CZ 85 for it even up. What a great deal. We shoot USPSA so I get plenty of practice. Try it, you'll like it!

[@ahmadkahfi105]

In my opinion this pistol is so beautiful and elegant.

[@Achielezz]

[@desertswordsman]

I deeply regret selling my Walther P99 while I was unemployed for about six months. I watched this video and now I am considering replacing/upgrading to the Walther PPQ M2

[@TheOl1911]

Interesting gun. Reminds me of the P30 in a way. I met an armored car guy recently and this was what he had in his holster. Enjoyed the vid.

[@sootch00]

It's real similar to the P30. I'm planning a comparison soon. Thanks~

[@Ouwkackemann]

***** I think it is as good as the P30, but with a much better trigger. Just my 2 cents.

[@AluminumStud]

Ouwkackemann and less expensive!

[@codean909]

As a PPQ owner, I would say that the P30 is of higher quality, but you pay an extra $400 for it. Trigger wise, the PPQ is light years ahead of the P30 in terms of feel.

[@aljosaskrabelj8412]

Ouwkackemann Yeah. PPQ and PPX (even cheaper) have both fantastic triggers.

[@bigdaddylec]

Nice shooting, it was great to meet you Saturday and the Head Down booth. Long live the Republic.

[@BrianMcKinny]

I've gotta get me one of these - the only question will be whether I go for the 9mm or the .40 caliber version...

[@deanf8894]

Brian McKinny go w/ the 40SW

[@BrianMcKinny]

That's the direction I'm leaning towards! :)

[@vanquish421]

+Brian McKinny .40 is a shitty high pressure round being phased out. Go with the 9mm that is more reliable, has better recoil that's less snappy and to the sides, cheaper, more available, and more capacity.

[@oscardelta1257]

+Brian McKinny Ballistically there is very little difference between 9mm and 40 cal. 40 cal is being phased out and will become harder to find in the years going forward. It will also be harder to trade or sell your gun because of these reasons if you decide to do so...something to think about , choose wisely.

[@BrianMcKinny]

I ended up getting the Glock 19 Gen 4 first. The next two guns on my list are the Walther PPQ M2, and the Sig Sauer P320 Full Size - I want a good range pistol like the P320 that has the capability of being converted to a Compact or Subcompact through a change in the frame and slide. I can also change calibers with the P320 quite easily as well - get a new barrel and recoil spring/guide rod, and the 9mm will fit in the .40 cal slide/frame, as well as the .357 Sig... Versatility is the Sig Sauer P320's middle name. And boy, is that gun a sweet shooter!

[@OpusX2010X]

I have the M1 in 40 and I love it. Looking for the Navy version also. the ambi mag release on the trigger guard although different than normal is easy and smooth. M2 is more standard, but not ambi. Just wish more people would adopt this platform, make the components easier to come by and drive the prices down. Love it, thanks for the review

[@dewycatt2112]

Best gun you can buy in todays market! Owned one for 2 weeks now. Flawless performance! Dead perfect accuracy! Fast trigger! Fast mag dump-reload! Fast slide release! Buy one-shoot one and you will know! Still love my CZ's! Still love my M&P's! sold my glocks! Sorry glocktards'... I gave them a go, then they had to go! Nothing special about them!

[@kzat99]

I think guys get to Glock & stop. Shame. I shot a Glock 22 it was OK. I'd heard & read about the PPQ. Bought 1 @ the "buy it now price" on gun broker ($546) & I aint ever looked back!

[@dewycatt2112]

Cool! happy to hear you like the PPQ.

[@akrivosdiavolos73]

Hey how does this compare to CZ p07?

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

The PPQ is the best striker fired pistol money can buy, and better than most DA/SA guns also, depending on your trigger preference. The bore axis is a tiny bit high, but with a little practice it's easy to control the flip. I can maintain fist-sized groups at 10m doing full-speed mag dumps. This gun is a shooter, hands down. Also it's easy to upgrade the sights to PPS steel sights for $30.

Hey Sootch, congratulations you impressed someone with this video. Let me explain: I received an email from Walther Arms Inc. that was publicizing their CCP pistol.
