TTAG awarded its highest accolade to the Walther PPQ in .45 and the PPQ M2 (5″ Slide). Both guns offer five-star ergonomics, reliability and accuracy. The PPQ could well have the best out-of-the-box polymer striker-fired handgun trigger money can buy. So Walther’s new 10 round (15 wth extended grip spare mag) PPQ SC Sub-Compact pistol is bound to be . . .
an unimpeachable choice for concealed carry. Especially as it sports the Walther’s Quick Defense trigger. With a bit of luck we’ll shoot it at SHOT today. But a review is in the works. Meanwhile, here’s the presser and pics of the plenty pricey pistol ($649 MSRP):
FORT SMITH, Ark. – -(Ammoland.com)- Walther Arms, Inc. is proud to announce the newest member of the PPQ family, the PPQ M2 Sub-Compact (part number – 2815249).
The new Sub-Compact features the signature Walther ergonomics plus the fantastic Quick Defense trigger, which has a 5.6 pound trigger pull and smooth audible resets. For maximum versatility, the PPQ SC comes with one ten round magazine, and one fifteen round magazine.
The included fifteen round magazine has a grip extension sleeve that provides control and ergonomics similar to the full-size PPQ. This will increase accuracy downrange while offering the advantages of a versatile carry/training platform.
The PPQ SC also features replaceable backstraps in both small and large sizes. The overall length is 6.6” and has an empty magazine weight of 21.2 ounces.
The 9mm Luger barrel is 3.5” long and features polygonal rifling with 1:10” twist. The slide features front and rear serrations for easy manipulation and is outfitted with polymer 3 dot target sights. The rear sight is adjustable for windage.
Like all PPQ’s the slide stop lever is ambidextrous and the magazine release button can easily change sides for left handed shooters. The PPQ SC is backed by Walther’s lifetime warranty and dedication to technical expertise.
The new PPQ Sub Compact will begin shipping immediately. There are also several accessories available for the new SC, a 10 round flush fitting magazine, a 10 round magazine with finger extension, and a 15 round sub-compact magazine with grip extension sleeve.

That woman is a piece of shit.
damn those are some nice looking frames. they might just be able to make a glock not fugly, just ugly LOL. seriously though, this changes the entire look of a standard glock slide. i might actually consider a glock now.
Like almost everything in the world of guns the question is what you want out of the rifle.
For it’s price point this rifle covers a hell of a lot of bases. OTOH if you want something that cloverleafs and keyholes at 100 yards or more you’re SOL with a rifle like this. Again, it’s all about where you place your priorities and what you want to accomplish with the rifle in question.
At $450 I’d take a couple for more mundane tasks where toting around a precision build is overkill/silly/runs risks I don’t want to take and I probably won’t be shooting it much anyway.
As usual: Good review.
Hmm. At least half the appeal of getting the tool you need in a Mossberg version is– the price.
And, no mention of price. Or even range of pricing. I dunno, is $700-ish OTD unrealistic…? Eight/Nine? Or is that maybe too much and too close compared to Ruger/Savage. I’d love to have a precision rifle, but the thing tht always holds me back is the grand, grand-n-a-half price for a tool I would use maybe 2-3 times a year. (But then who knows… because if I did have one, maybe I would love it and shoot it a couple times a month….)
The two reasons I dig and buy Mossberg are price and durability. They’re a little rough around the edges, but a good value, and seem to shoot forever regardless how they’re treated.
Be safe.
I hunt white-tailed deer with a rifle chambered in .44 Magnum — specifically an H&R Handi-rifle which is a break-action rifle with a 22 inch barrel.
And I use Winchester white-box 240 grain jacketed soft points which hit like a semi-truck. I chronographed those leaving the muzzle at 1,900 fps which is over 1,900 ft-lbs energy. Out to 150 yards, that BIG HEAVY bullet is still travelling at something like 1,300 fps and still has 900 ft-lbs energy.
I would feel comfortable hunting (out to 100 yards maximum range) everything in North America with the exception of polar bears and Kodiac brown bears in excess of 1,200 pounds.
Fck Walther, they went to shit when they jumped on the polymer band wagon.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone say they like a shorter sight radius before. “Fast-handling,” yeah, sure.
Like it have the Ppq navy 9mm and a p99c 9mm l think at 650 dollars is way to much being my navy model was 580 dollars out the door like it but don’t think it’s worth more than 500 dollars to 450 just my opinion my p99c does everything this does got it for 430 dollars out the door and has second strike capability not important in a range gun but for concealed carry a plus my opinion
I’ve owned the PPQ M2 .45 for almost 2 years now. I can’t put into words how amazing this gun is! I use a Sticky Holster and can conceal it easily. The trigger is smooth as silk!
If your considering this gun then Go For It!
You won’t regret it. I’m now looking at the PPQ SC for my wife!
