Range Day is over and we had to the opportunity to handle and fire a variety of new and improved firearms. We saw so many through the day that it is difficult to pick a starting place, but we are going to start with Walther.
Walther has released two new pistols this year: PPQ45 and PPS M2. The PPQ45 is currently only available in .45 ACP. In addition to the normal features that are associated with Walther handguns, the PPQ 45 has low profile sights, a Picatinny rail, three safeties, ambidextrous slide stop and interchangeable back straps. The biggest feature though is the quick defense trigger. The Walther representative that was assisting us suggested that we dry fire the pistol a few times before actually firing. We are glad that we did. The trigger has 0.4” travel with a 5.6 lb trigger pull. On top of that, the trigger only needs to travel 0.1” to reset. Shooting this pistol was extremely easy and exciting. The slide was easy for our female shooter to manipulate. Coming in at a barrel length of 4.25” and only 1.3” wide, this weapon will be easy for many to conceal.
The PPS M2 currently is only available in 9mm and .40S&W. Like the PPQ45, the PPS M2 features low prolife sights and ambidextrous slide stop. This pistol features a chamber view port and 3 magazine options. This pistol is slightly smaller than the PPQ45, coming at a barrel length of 3.2” and is only 1” wide. It also features a nice smooth trigger that is 6.1 lbs with a 0.2” travel time. It was very easy for our female shooter to work the slide and the minimal recoil helped to keep the pistol on target with greater ease. The PPS-M2 was small enough that our female shooter felt she would actually be able to conceal it on her person without much difficulty.
By far the stand out here is that smooth, light trigger. The smooth trigger pull was very responsive, which helped minimize anticipation of the shot. The short reset allows for successive shots to be fired quicker and with more accuracy. Be sure to keep an eye on the blog and forums for pictures.
