PPQ M1 "Q5" - UPDATE

[1911RONIN]

I don't know why someone would sell a Q5 slide on gun broker, but I'm glad they did.

Update:

In addition to acquiring the Q5 slide, I also picked up an M2 5 inch with an Apex trigger and titanium nitride barrel. Here are my observations at 10 yards:

All iterations of the ppq are no different in mechanical accuracy. And they are as accurate as my vp9. The real difference is in the weight and speed.

M1 4 inch: light, fast (slide action), not flat shooting ("snap")
M1 Q5: light, fast, flatter
M2 5: not as light, not as fast, flattest

Vp9: similar to the ppq m1 4 but a little flatter with a not-as-good trigger.

Ppq 45: bigger, heavier M2 with an amazing trigger.

I hope this answers some of the questions.

Are M1 and M2 slide interchangeable?

Nice but please tell us the difference when you shoot at 10-15 yards.

Great pickup, That is strange, I wonder what he upgraded to warrant taking it off. What did that run you? I know a few people over on the Walther forum has been looking for one. I love my Q5, I just got an RMR for it, can't wait to try it out.

I found the frame for your Q5 Match. I wonder if it's the same seller. Maybe he thinks he can get more by seperating the PPQ Q5 Match since there are lots of them asking around $700-$800 range on GunBroker.

That's a good price considering factory options for the plain 5" slide assembly is around $520.

Is there anything special about the blue Q5 trigger?

Most user reports suggest cosmetic only

Good question the ppq trigger is pretty good itself regardless of it being the match variety...
