...guns...

I'm heading out to a local range shortly, where my old "shootin' buddy"
from Virginia is meeting me so I can play around with his Walther PPQ M2
that he bought this past summer. I really want some time with it to see
if the trigger is really as good as everyone says. I normally do not
like striker-fired pistols, but this one is supposed to be in a
category of its own.

If I like it, I might buy one in 2015.

It's this one, the 5" model in 9mm:

I've had two striker-fired pistols, one of which was supposed to be
the S&W 'Pro' version. I'll not buy another again.



Well, if your problem with striker-fired pistols is at least partly
because of the trigger, I agree. The ones I've fired, even the Glock I
owned, had too long a pull for my taste, considerable "slack," and an
annoyingly long reset. I really prefer SA pistols with hammers, like the
SIG and CZ I had.

That being said, I really liked the striker-fired Walther I tried out
this morning. The initial pull wasn't too long, it felt smooth and it
engaged smartly, the reset was very short, and the subsequent trigger
pulls were very short and crisp. I fired six 15-round mags through it of
standard quality 115 and 124 grain ball ammo. Recoil through the 5"
barrel was negligible, and muzzle flip to me seemed about the same as a
Glock, more than on the all-steel CZ I had, but not bad. The sights were
nothing special.

Pricey for a polymer pistol.

Gotta pay for the James Bond image.
