Walther PPQ45 is best .45.

As of this morning my two week old PPQ45 has digested 2000 rounds of Winchester white box FMJ and 175 rounds of Black-Hills Tac-XP JHP without a single hiccup.
Laser like accuracy, headshots at 25Y and 8" plates at 50Y are boringly easy to hit.
"Bill Drill" A zone splits at 7Y are in the 0.23 range.
The trigger is almost too good, I'd actually like about one more pound of weight to it.
The ergonomics make shooting even +P .45 a breeze and the size to capacity ratio is great.
12 rounds of .45 in the same grip length as my 15 round VP9.
The magazines load to 12 easy and topped off there's still enough follower travel left to make inserting on a closed slide easy.
My only complaint is there's no paddle mag release M1 version since that's my preference.

At $525 shipped + $25 FFL transfer - $100 rebate I'm into this baby for $450.
Not bad for a pistol that outperforms (and has replaced on the nightstand) my HK45, and does a better job when pressed into CCW than my HK45C.

As a Walther P99 AS owner and an HK 45 owner, I really don't need to hear this...





It really is an under rated pistol, isn't it?

As a PPS and a PPQ Navy owner, the 45 has been on my wishlist for quite some time

I don't need it, but I most definitely want it

Are these available with the lever mag release?

How's the recoil impulse?

I found that the 9mm PPQ has substantially more felt recoil than my G19. Curious how the PPQ .45 would compare to my G21.

Ive been trying to trade my Q5 frame for a M1/classic frame since I got the gun. Really wish it had the paddle. Its almost perfect.

Love the ergos on my ppq22. I want another ppq, but my fnp45 would probably team up with my wallet and fuck my shit up in the middle of the night.

My surefire x300 won't lock on to mine. It rattles what did you do OP?

The X400U has a wide Picatinny key adapter and a thumb screw, so no rattles and the laser stays zeroed.

I have a X300U and hate the cheesy friction lock and plastic rail adapters, every pistol I put it on it's either too tight or too loose.
