Sidearms For Sportsmen: Walther PPQ M2 Review <br>Some sights have been reported to change the point of aim but I’ve outfitted both of mine with Trijicon three dot night sights originally made for the P99 and they’ve been dead-on. On the upside sights for the Walther P99 will fit the PPQ’s and they are by far the easiest sights to replace on any handgun I have ever click the up coming post seen. There’s no divot to protect the paint and I’ve personally had some of these sights get beat up in short order. Most of the PPQ’s come with some really flimsy sights which have three white dots painted right on the trailing edge.

Using your trigger finger to drop the mag, because of the angle, results in your finger pressing against the side of the trigger as well as the magazine release—very not good. Unlike traditional American designs, the PPQ's magazine release is a sizable ambidextrous lever on either side of the trigger guard. I obtained a 9mm model, which comes with two 15-round magazines and three sizes of interchangeable backstraps, with the medium-size one installed on the gun at the factory. One final point of consideration is how well these pistols will hold up with time, use, and exposure to the elements.

The trigger on this pistol is so fantastic that it’s the foundation for the very name of the series.
