[PPQ Q5 SF FAILS TO SLIDE LOCK]

9 hours ago, BartCarter said:

 

This is typical of the thumb against the slide release when shooting.  At the range, you probably do not have the same movement you have at a match. The slide release needs very little pressure to keep the slide from locking back.  Ask me how I know.

Another vote here of potentially riding the slide stop. I’m especially bad about doing it anytime I shoot a Glock with extended controls. 

 

Also, I use a Wolff Glock 12# recoil spring on the factory rod with the bunny fart loads.

Ordered it today. I will post shipping speed. Then fit when it arrives and installed. I ordered it for the lower profile only. I'm not really interested in the co- witness so I didn't order a front sight.

I’m interested in hearing your thoughts on the plate. 

[Walther Q5 match steel frame?]

I have an SRO on each of mine. I wanted to try the Romeo 3 max, but I worried about reliability. 

[Walther Q5 match steel frame?]

I felt like they were about the same. And because of that, coupled with no double action, or trigger return springs to worry about, and the grip fits my hands better, I went all in on the Walther.

[Walther Q5 extraction issues]

I’m using a Wolff 12# Glock spring on the factory guide rod. You will have to open the end of the spring with a pair of pliers. 

[Walther Q5 match steel frame?]

I like the kit, but I also did a lot of work at one sitting to the trigger. I drilled and taped the sear housing, polished all the contact surfaces, and added the spring kit. The combination of all the above made it very nice, 3 pounds or so, and still a decently forceful reset. 

[Walther Dynamic Performance Trigger]

I got the call from Earl’s yesterday to pay for mine. They said they were in customs, and should ship the first or second week of September. 
 

Side note, three weeks to clear customs?! Jeez......

[Walther Q5 match steel frame?]

I have had all of the CZ’s. Shadow 1 and 2. They shoot great, but for me, my trigger finger touches my support hand while shooting, I never cared for it. I picked up a Q5 SF on a whim, and loved it. Added a sprinco trigger kit, it just works for me. It’s a very accurate gun, easily shooting an inch and a half @25, with syntech 124’s. I liked it so much, I sold my Shadows, and bought another Q5 SF. It is now my production and carry optics pistol of choice. 

[Q5 SF Lok grips]

I ended up buying the standard bogies, I can’t recommend them enough. 

[Q5 SF Lok grips]

I’ve been looking at Lok grips, and I’m looking for some opinions from folks who have purchased. I like the factory shape, so I won’t be getting the thin grips. How do the bogies compare palm swell wise to the factory grips? Are the checkered grips "grippy" enough to justify the purchase? Thanks. 

[Walther forum is here]

Thanks all that helped!

Nice... Earls shop always been good to work with. Now if they just get in those Q4 SF new rear sight...

That’s great to hear. He told me that he basically gets all of the German walther parts minus the expert trigger. I ordered an extended mag release from him.

I called the number in the header. 

[Walther Dynamic Performance Trigger]

I spoke to Earl at Earl's repair service, and hopefully they are getting them in a couple weeks. They are taking names of folks that would like one, I've gotten on the list. They are going to be 150.00.

The key word there is When!!!

I called again Thursday. They said it would be may, maybe later due to the pandemic. 

[Q5 SF Trigger mod to remove the creep]

Great info, thanks!

[Walther Dynamic Performance Trigger]

I just spoke to Walther USA corporate. The lady I spoke to said that it’s not available yet, and they were supposed to have it already. Their number for anyone who wants to call is 479-242-8500, extension 7. 

[Question about TAC trigger for Q5 SF]

I anxiously awaiting someone on Enos to review one as well. 

[Stand alone Carry Optic forum?]

I’d like to see a CO sub forum as well. Thanks.

My DW PM9 with Dawson 10 rounders has been flawless. 

[Walther mag button]

I just ordered the Lo Pro mag button with the 4-40 thread. The PPQ SF mag button is magnetic so it should drill and tap fine to accept the Lo Pro. 

That’s a great idea.

[Anyone with the JP UltraLight shrouded barrel?]

As puppy said above, there is a lot of blast out of the comp. I only shoot factory ammo, and mine grouped better at 25, and shoots softer with 115 grain. 

[MBX Steel Glock Magazines]

but do they work?l

I have two 170’s with the three inch extension for PCC. I only have 300 rounds or so on each. But, they are very beefy, very strong spring. The thing I like about them, they seem easier to reload the PCC. And of course they drop free, won’t swell, and you won’t wear out the mag catch notch.

[MBX Glock PCC Metal Mags]

Yesterday, I bought a 170 with a 3” extension from shooters connection. The extensions do indeed seem to be made just for the steel tube, and are marked as such with “steel”. I went to the range with it, and ran 200 rounds through it with no problems. One of the guys at shooters has 300ish through one, with no problems. I bought one to try, just because they seem easier/quicker to reload the gun. I’ll report back if I have any problems. They are pricey, but are beefy, and I plan to grab another soon.
