walther unveils new guns soon

[Flymph]

Personal Defense Pistol... red dot "optimized"... I bet a lot of new gun owners will be stoked with this innovation!

They released it today after a leak.

Watch that finger, it bites.

You know, I would pick up a compact .40 S&W version if it was bargain priced liked the APX used to be. But, another Glock 19? Don't need it.

New grip texture and and slide cuts on the PPQ? I applaud them for trying to make improvements on an already awesome gun. If they would have rolled this out as the PPQ M3 it would have made more sense.

When they come out with all the hype and fanfare, it's easy to disappoint. You think they would have learned from Glock and Springfield.

SUCH INNOVATION!!!

 

[Jonnyuma]

Yeah it looks like they took the Q4 and just did all the above to it.

I like it.
Its basically what l asked for in a previous post, ie; a PPQ TAC4 without the threaded barrel.
Not exactly earth-shattering innovation... I'm not even sure why they designated it as a new model. But really... what's left to do with the duty/carry gun segment at the upper-middle price point? Capacity, materials, and surface treatments/finishes are about the only "innovations" left, given the parameters of the thing.
I can forgive an apparent lack of ingenuity, largely because l cant even imagine in my own head what l would "improve".
But the manufactured hoopla over a basic rehash of already existing models (looking at YOU, Springfield Armory and Glock) is grating.

Looking at the PPQ, the PDP adds the RMR capability and that's it. They just added giant serrations and that's it. Maybe I can find a PPQ in .40 S&W for a good price, now.

Yeah I'd like to finger inspect one in store sometime to see what it's like.

The PPQ in 40 is a dream to shoot. It's what turned me on to 40 to begin with.

 

[HaveGun]

Just did a search for the .40 S&W PPQ and not a single one for sale nationally. Not even on GB for twice the value.

 

[titsonritz]

Whatever it is it'll be M2 version for the first 2 years and then the M1 release will be small and impossible to find...

 

[titsonritz]

Who looked at the Beretta APX slide serrations and said "that looks great...let's do that too".

 

[E4mafia]

Looks like they got rid of the striker indicator on the back too. From that video.

 

[Nosferatu]

well, there's 30 seconds of complete bubblegum that's pushed out something useful in my brain.

I'll be on my deathbed contemplating the meaning of life and come up with "Walther STS"

 

[titsonritz]

I would also love to see the P99, perhaps even a steel frame version. It's fridging impossible to find a new P99 that's less than a grand, right now.

Not sure why all the negative comments, personally I like it. I was thinking of getting a PPQ M1 and have it cut for an optic, but I'd rather wait and hopefully the PDP will come out M1 version.

Walther makes good weapons but man, some of them fell out of the Ugly Tree and hit every branch on the way down.
I have a PPS-M2 that has been very good and it escaped the Ugly Tree (IMO).
