The injection molded grip frame contains four steel guide rails for the slide: two at the rear of the frame, and the remaining pair above the front of the trigger guard. Įrgonomics and fully ambidextrous controls were a key focus in the design of the firearm, and as a result, three interchangeable grip backstraps are included (small, medium and large) to accommodate various hand shapes and sizes this feature permits most shooters a comfortable and efficient grip on the firearm. The Technical Specifications (TR) of the German Police (Technische Richtlinie Pistolen im Kaliber 9mm x 19, Revision January 2008) for obtaining a German Police duty pistol certification require a first shot trigger pull of ≥30 N (6.7 lb f), a trigger travel of ≥10 mm (0.4 in) and a trigger reset of ≥4 mm (0.2 in). ĭue to its trigger characteristics, the PPQ pistol is marketed by Walther in Germany as a special forces pistol and not as a police duty pistol. The striker of the PPQ variant does not protrude from the back of the slide, as the firearm is in a constant cocked state. Unlike many other trigger systems, preset internal strikers have a let-off point and trigger pull that remains unchanged from the first shot to the last and requires no decocker.
The PPQ has a trigger travel of approximately 9 mm (0.4 in) with a relatively short trigger reset of 2.5 mm (0.1 in) and a trigger pull of approximately 25 N (5.6 lb f).
The PPQ trigger pull is entirely due to the trigger and disconnector springs. Pulling the trigger does not partially load the striker spring as with the Glock and many other striker fired pistol designs. When the trigger is pulled, the trigger bar engages a disconnect lever, which props up a sear hook, which releases the fully pre-loaded striker assembly, firing the pistol. The internal preset striker 'Quick Defense' trigger of the PPQ is a departure from previous Walther pistols and has been developed for the PPQ. It can be broken down into its main parts or field stripped with a take down catch without the need for tools. The PPQ has a glassfiber-reinforced polymer frame and steel slide assembly. The Walther PPQ is a short recoil-operated locked breech semi-automatic pistol that uses a modified Browning cam-lock system adapted from the Hi-Power pistol. The main innovation of the PPQ over the P99QA, P99 RAD and P99Q is its 'Quick Defense' trigger. There were many other modifications made to the design that were not seen on the Walther P99QA, like the re-designed grip, trigger guard and slide with forward (big) serrations made their combined appearance in 2008 in the Walther P99 RAD, a P99 variant made in Poland and marketed as a military sidearm proposition and the Walther P99Q police pistol.ĭue to product evolution the PPQ maintains compatibility with both P99 sights and P99 second-generation magazines and other accessories. However, unlike the P99QA, which utilized a partially cocked striker (like a Glock), the PPQ utilizes a fully cocked striker. It shares its engineering principles and main features with the Walther P99QA variant of the P99 pistol that was introduced in 2000. The Walther PPQ is not a true new design. In 2021, Walther announced that they would be discontinuing the PPQ, and its predecessor, the P99, in favor of the new Walther PDP, or Performance Duty Pistol. It is available in 9×19mm Parabellum, 9×21mm. The Walther PPQ ( German:, Polizeipistole Quick Defence / Police Pistol Quick Defence) is a semi-automatic pistol developed by the German company Carl Walther GmbH Sportwaffen of Ulm for law enforcement, security forces and the civilian shooting market as a development of the Walther P99.
