Those are very nicely detailed and I'm happy Guns America does not hide them behind a paywall.

All steel guns in a polymer world is still a breath of fresh air.

[@tri3pleagent]

Can't wait to see your review on the Q4 Steel Frame.

[@rickhunter6513]

My favorite is still the CZ Shadow 2, but this is a close second. Truly a joy to shoot. Just installed some Lok grips and it feels even better

[@lon242]

Could you tell me some aspects of the S2 you like more than the Q5?

[@henrykim4535]

Always loved your videos but this one has made your channel one of my favorite. Love your humility, respect your thoughts, and your shooting is the cherry on top.

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

You are very kind.

[@MDpolo]

Love the blue contrast of the LOK Grips with the trigger. Such a nice pistol. I have the regular Q5 Match but have never shot the SF model. Thanks for another well done and informative review.

[@evetadalakiandalakian5609]

“Shoot straight and speak the truth” as usual great review thank you

[@TheGoatMumbler]

That Q5 looks identical to mine. Same LOK grips, same color & pattern. The hump on the back of the original grip is comfy but it you don't get a perfect draw you have to adjust your purchase on the way to getting on target. After shooting my P320 in IDPA the Q5 immediately made me a better shooter. Race ready right out of the box. Shop around for the price.

[@benjamin3290]

That much of an improvement? I’m considering dumping my X5 for one of these

[@mulekicker-ut5jl]

I’ve had a ppq for 3 years and it has been great. I would love to have one of these.

[@kylewood8327]

I bought the Q4 w/dot plate sights and have totally fallen in love with it, best Stryker gun I own by far! Do a video on the Q4 next!!!

[@chrisragone8785]

I just bought the Walther Q4 Steel Frame. Awesome gun! You should do a review on it if you haven’t already.

[@injuredoutdoorsman9011]

Love the look and feel of this gun. I’m a huge fan of my PPQ, and really wanna get a Q5 SF & a PPS M2. Those are some good looking grips, but you should also check out the Overwatch Precision TAC trigger for this gun. Taylor Freelance makes extended magazine baseplates and a mag well. All of the accessories come in Walther blue, naturally.

[@usche1]

Thanks

[@Pho_slama_jama]

Excellent presentation. I recently picked up the Q5 sf and am wondering what holster you are using. Apologies if i missed it. Thanks.

[@Jeffrey-s6z]

Bought one for $1098.99 last month at Cabela's. They have since gone up $200.

[@jamesdelong6401]

Love me some Walther

[@dr_igor_cossack_MD]

Shooting Q5 is a pure joy. No idea why anyone compares it to a hammer-fired CZ shadow! These are not analogous mechanisms. You compare this one to CZ P10, HK VP9, and Glock.

[@ronaldspencer547]

Beautiful looking gun. All those holes in the slide no doubt make it susceptible to dirt getting in the mechanism.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

Not really intended as a carry gun.

[@stephencovert3307]

No actual holes all the way inside.

[@zaitcev0]

I wish there was more of a comparison angle. The video mentions the P320 X5, which is also striker fired, but what about Shadow 2 and 92X Performance? Or are they so different that this question makes no sense? I am leaving P210A out of this because of its low magazine capacity.

[@benjamin3290]

Pete Zaitcev I agree, would like to see all four put up against each other for comparison. I currently have an X5 but am considering swapping for a Q5 SF and want more info

[@rickhunter6513]

I’ve shot the CZ, Q5 SF and P320 Legion extensively and honestly, they are all amazing. The differences between them are minuscule. However, if I could only have one, it would be the CZ Shadow 2

[@hectorbarrieri8815]

La belleza hecha arma, sin lugar a dudas!

[@sparki152]

When you took off the optic and put back on the rear sight plate, did you have to re-zero your rear sight?

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

I wonder whether anyone will undertake an aftermarket trigger for this. I know Walther produced a competition trigger but there was some problem with the importation/marketing due to it bypassing the drop safety and the consequent liability. In any case I'd like to see an aluminum trigger shoe option.

[@snowypoem5591]

You make me wanna buy this gun in addition to the PPQ45 I'm already saving for 🙄

[@MrTattooed81]

I put the 2 lb trigger return spring and the lighter striker block spring and the same lok grips on mine love it 😍

[@Dennis-qb1fs]

Well, a Walther Q5 Pro Match has been on my wish list, along with the CZ Shadow for some time now. A buddy of mine in USPSA owns a Q5 that I've shot. I had worried about the sharp beaver tail and bite but, evidently my hand placement won't bite into it. Good ole Uncle Sugar sent me some 'free' money, knowing I wanted to support the local gun shop and community. My new Pro Match will arrive this week. I fully expect to go from "D" class to Master Class in USPSA overnight with this new wonder :-) Thanks for another great review.

[@floridamike8710]

Got my first Walther a few years ago it is also my first gun it is a ppk S 22 but thare are more I want to get including this beauty of a gun the q 5 steel frame

[@jasonhatez3287]

Did he say Massad Iube. Met him a few times. He testified for a friend in a use of force case. That guy is the real deal

[@glenborth3797]

I was wondering is it good idea if I were to have logo Walther and Q5 detail painted I know it's close to the situations and might come off but would give a nice affect please comment

[@roberthoff9243]

Where can I get a drop holster for this PPQ steel frame

[@jakobw135]

How does this compare to the H&K SFP9L?

[@AGC828]

Q5 Mach SF vs Q4 SF vs Beretta 92X Perf vs CZ Shadow 2 :)

[@chasebricker639]

How is the muzzle flip compared to a glock 34? I’m looking for the flattest softest shooting striker fired 9mm. The glock and M&P’s shoot way flatter than the polymer frame Q5 to me. Was wondering if the steel frame made a big enough difference to make it flatter than those. Thanks!

[@co3g921]

Wow, quite an endorsement. Alright, I'll play along. How does the Q5 Match steel frame compare to the Sig P320 X-Five Legion? You knew that question was coming!

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

Indeed. I will do a comparison before long. I still need to do a separate feature of the X5 Legion here too.

[@co3g921]

@@JustinOpinionChannel Yes you do and we'll be here to watch it. Thanks!

[@benjamin3290]

Please do make that video. Love your channel, very straightforward and informative

[@rickhunter6513]

CO 3-Gunner I’ve shot both quite a bit. Flip a coin you cant lose with either choice. Sig is a little cheaper but that doesn’t mean anything because they both shoot amazingly

[@pewpewjohn]

Hi Bought my PPQ Q5 SF but missing optic plates ,

[@johnelder7449]

Fantastic video. I think you shoot as well as the gun can be shot. Thanks!

[@cia290]

I like it. But I’m all about H&K I wish they would come out with a steel frame VP9L I would jump on it as soon as I could get one. I did get to shoot my friends SOS Sig Legion in 9mm . It’s amazing. I like your slow videos and none rush explanations.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

They need to reissue the P7 with updated tech.

[@jonnytestnj2668]

The x5 legion is a superior competition pistol

[@giannimoscotto7386]

Fantastic

[@Logan-or5qw]

If you were going to harness conceal carry under your armpit & size isn't so much a factor, which pistol or revolver would you choose?

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

That's how I carried for years, back in the day. Then, it was a S&W Model 645 (about the same size and weight as a 1911). Length is still a consideration, especially for a horizontal rig, but you can get away with much more size. If you have a twin mag pouch on the opposite side for balance, the weight is really not a bother either.

[@dsullivan6842]

Thought there was a 5.4 barrel length not the 5 inch you have mentioned

[@martiwuwu]

Hi Justin. As always an interesting and professional review. Which gun would you recommend to a novice sports shooter but for a person who has a lot of experience with military weapons. Walther PDP 5" or Walther Q5 SF Champion? The price doesn't matter here. Unfortunately, I don't have the opportunity to shoot both of these pistols, so I have to buy one of them blindly. Thank you in advance for reply and greetings from Poland 🙂

[@RichCiminisCrustyTissue]

Head to head with X5 Legion. I heard some ppl like it better than the Walther. Shadow 2 is the class of the group

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

Agree. H2H with the X5 Legion would be a good one to do.

[@co3g921]

@@JustinOpinionChannel DO IT!

[@SEAKPhotog]

Love my polymer PPQs. Keep thinking about picking up one of these but the price has put me off. My willpower is crumbling tho. Now if they introduced a SF .45 it'd be an instant buy.

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

Yes, that would be an interesting option, for sure!

[@Hazmat501]

End of this year im getting my first 9mm Pistol and the q5 polymer has been on my mind ever sinds I started shooting. Is it realy worth it getting the SF over the Polymer? Or is starting with a q5 Polymer just as good? In my mind it's the shooter thats gets results not the gun.

[@SEAKPhotog]

@@Hazmat501 I actually don't think it's worth getting the SF for a first 9mm. I shoot my Polymer 5in M1 (very close in construction to the Q5) every bit as well as the SF. To me the SFs are a luxury. I ended up with one because I already had the polymer 5in M1, I know I like steel frames (I'm a CZ guy too), I think it's a damn sexy gun, I love Walthers, it's unique, I was able to pay for it with money I made from a photo assignment (a part time job I use to buy toys) and I'm retiring soon and want to splurge on a couple things before I go on a strict spending plan. Go for the polymer. Spend what you save on ammo and range fees.

[@TheWonderman1964]

Where can I get this beautiful blue grip for my Q5 SF.

[@paulscountry456]

Dont care for the factory trigger in those, for its intent it should have a way better trigger, nice gun.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

They have a tunable "Expert" trigger version also.

[@jamesgaller1046]

How does this compare to a CZ Shadow 2? Which is the better gun?

[@rickhunter6513]

Neither is better, they are both phenomenal. Honestly, if you picked either one, you’d love it. Personally, I’d lean Shadow 2 just because I love the ergonomics and the single action is brilliant. However, I’ve shot the Q5 SF quite a bit and it’s incredible. It can also have a red dot mounted whereas the CZ cannot unless you send it out to get milled.

[@vacboy101010]

How does this compare between 92X P?
