I met another member here at GA Firing Line to do a deal and stopped in to talk to some friends that work there. I have been on the lookout for the new PPQ 45 and haven't seen one until tonight. Unfortunately I was too late and someone had already put the only one on layaway but the next one is mine. I figured I'd share some initial impressions.
The gun feels a bit heavier than the 9mm version. I would say the gun is only slightly bigger than the 9mm. They really did a great job of keeping the size down. Quality was the same as nearly all Walthers, that is to say excellent.
The grip was spectacular. It ho eslty felt about as big as the 9mm with the large back strap in. It was a bit thicker but that's to be expected for a double stack 45. I'm not sure which back strap was installed in it but I don't think my wife would have an issue holding it with her tiny hands.
The trigger is nothing like that complete failure CCP. It is the same phenomenal trigger found on the 9mm PPQ.
Overall the gun will likely be my next carry piece. At $619 it's a fair deal and it comes with 2 12 round mags. It really is just a slightly bigger PPQ M2 9mm...i can't give it much more of a compliment than that. I can't wait to make one mine....
