Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key features of the Walther PPQ M2 9mm pistol?

The Walther PPQ M2 9mm features a 5-inch Tenifer-treated barrel, ambidextrous controls including the slide stop and magazine release, a striker-fired system with a ~5.5 lb trigger pull and short reset, interchangeable backstraps for grip customization, and a Picatinny rail for accessories.

How do you field strip the Walther PPQ M2?

To field strip the Walther PPQ M2, ensure it's unloaded, pull the slide back slightly, simultaneously pull down the disassembly tabs on both sides, and let the slide move forward. Then, remove the barrel and recoil spring assembly. Reassembly involves reversing these steps, ensuring the tabs align correctly.

What is the trigger like on the Walther PPQ M2?

The Walther PPQ M2 has a striker-fired trigger with a pull weight of approximately 5.5 lbs (2,500g). It's noted for its crisp break after initial take-up and a very short reset of about 2.5mm (0.1 inch), which Walther calls a 'quick defensive trigger' for fast follow-up shots.

What ammunition performed best in the Walther PPQ M2 accuracy tests?

In freehand accuracy tests at 10 meters, the Hornady 147-grain XPS ammunition yielded the best grouping. Highland 115-grain jacketed hollow points also performed well. Supported shooting generally improved accuracy across all tested ammunition types.
