sandrooney Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Any input on the Walther for Carry Optics? I was thinking of this or an M&P Core or any other suggestions. Thanks, SR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) They’re terrific guns. Very happy with my Walthers. If you want the dot mounted down into the slide, buy a 5” PPQ send the slide to L&M precision instead of getting a Q5. I went this route and love it. You can’t go back to irons, but it’s much easier to adapt to the dot and to find it shooting weak-hand-only when it’s where your irons belong, instead of up high. (I shoot a Q5 in Production, a modified standard length PPQ M2 in CO) Edited December 6, 2018 by MemphisMechanic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_RAD Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I shoot neither but have shot both. I'd choose the Walther. IMO, the most accurate out of the box polymer gun made. I've never had a M&P shoot very well. I'm sure it's a load development issue but the Q5 has been so awesome! I shoot a G34 in CO so, I'm not just trying to push what I shoot to reinforce my choices!

Sniperboy Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Evan, did L&M do those slide cuts/windows for you too? Mark Housel is the O.G. for slide milling and is the bomb : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gun is very snappy with such a short slide, and being so light. Shooting it next to a CO-equipped X5 it feels like it has twice as much recoil. But my dot is back faster. As long as you grip like a caveman, she’s flat and fast: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Single Stack Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Really depends on your hand size. I have medium size hands and the Q5 fits me well. Guys with large hands it hangs off the bottom of the grip. Q5 is dependable and accurate. Trigger is good to go as is. I did feel the Q5 was over sprung and changed to a steel guide rod with a 13lb flat wire 1911 recoil spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
