Why you might want a PPQ:
I gave to two guys who never handled a pistol ever and they were inside the 8 ring (7 yds) for some 200 rds each (some flyers).
Accurate as heck. I can shoot 2x further with same accuracy.
If she shoots 1911 well, should be same for PPQ
If the Glock points high, likely the PPQ sights should line up.
Pluses:
Over 2000 rounds, no issues.
9mm, recoil is nothing even with DPX 115+P
If you ever want to put a can on it or intend to use in maritime environment, the Navy is better choice.
unlike Glock, PPQ's multiple back-straps, actually make a difference. Try on all, don't guess.
Minuses:
Magazines are expensive compared to Glock, IMO buy the OEM, unless this is a range toy.
OEM sights are a negative. Dawson Precision has excellent sights.
Trigger some would consider "light" As others have explained, due to the way it's setup.
1/10" trigger reset, some consider too aggressive.
If you like the PPQ, then consider the VP-9 side-by-side, then buy the one that fits best.
No point in getting religion over a gun; it fits or doesn't. It's reliable or a liability. You shoot it well, or sell it.
Best tests to determine if pistol fits:
1) Pick a spot high up on the opposite wall of gun shop, like security camera.
2) Grip pistol at your side.
3) Close your eyes, instinctively point pistol at object.
4) Open eyes. If you are aiming close to it and the sights are pretty much aligned correctly, it's a good fit. key: if the sights align, that's what you are looking for.
Trigger to back-strap:
1) If there is an air gap between your index finger and the frame as you touch the trigger, the length is good.
2) If you finger is pushing the frame as you engage the trigger, likely your bullet will go in the direction of your push too.
