I wonder why the Walther PPQ (5 inch, regular push button mag release) is not as popular. Great trigger for a striker gun. Some people say it's a touch "flippy" but I don't have first had experience with that. If the VP9 is vlaible, then the PPQ certainly should be.
I would highly recommend a Walther PPQ as an option for a new shooter. I have the 4 inch I'm using in competition and I have a 5 inch I should have in about a month. Overall, the trigger is better than my old Glock (which was a well modified trigger at 2.5 pounds) and I like the feel better than the Glock (mine had tru-glo sights). I sold the Glock earlier this year and I haven't looked back. Much better choice, IMO.
