saibot Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I finally received my new PPQ Q5 Match today (yay) and realized that it doesn't really fit the Comp-Tac holster I bought for it. The side of the holster say PPQ/M2 5, so I believe that's the correct one, but the pistol doesn't fit very well. The trigger guard hits the stops before the rest of the pistol is where it should go. It's about 1/4 from where it should be. Has anyone else seen this? Do they make a Q5 Match specific model? Or perhaps this one is defective?

MemphisMechanic Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Your holster is for the 5” PPQ. The Q5 Match has a different slide profile from the standard 5” gun. I will say that Red Hill Tactical makes an absolutely exceptional holster for the Q5 Match. I love mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saibot Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 Dang it!! I'll have to send it back I guess. The RHT looks great, but don't have a month+ to wait for it. Thanks for the sanity check! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maleman000 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I believe that overall shape of the 5" guns are the same, just different slide cuts. I bought a left over 5" walther holster from Redhill and Q5 fits excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blade-Tech for my Tanfoglio Stock III didn’t come close to fitting either. Had to reshape the muzzle end for it to work, and even then... Let’s just say there’s a reason I’m a big fan of RHT holsters now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 My BladeTech broke recently, I ordered a RHT holster, I think it takes a month.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaep1911 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 My RHT holster arrived in 27 days. I absolutely love it although it does not provide much retention, no matter how hard I turn the screws in. Maybe it is because I bought their double layer version and it is much more difficult to mold it around the trigger guard with a heat gun. I need to be careful with my gun when I run as an RO.

Kilrb Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I have a Comp Tac for my PPQ M2 5 inch and it fits perfect just had to adjust tension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, mine was a dud. The Ben Stoeger Pro Shop took care of me and sent me a Blade-Tech which fit perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRM83 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Sad to hear. I absolutely love the comp-tac holsters I have bought for other guns. Their VP9 holster is the second best holster I have ever owned (first is the DAA racemaster). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Li02liberty Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 This was the problem when I got my Q5 last year. I could not find a holster for it so I made my own. It was not that difficult. As stated about the Q it has a different slide profile compared to a regular 5 inch ppq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brophy-J Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 (edited) Thats a bummer my CompTac fits like a glove on my Q5. Edited November 11, 2017 by Brophy-J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstewart Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I have a Comp-Tac holster for my Q5 and it says the same thing as yours on the front, and it fits perfectly. I have had it for a while and I really like it. I even have a Leupold DP on it. If you have already tried adjusting it I would contact Comp-Tac and see what they say.
