S&W686 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I have a Comp Tac Holster that I had for the non steel Q5. My Walther PPQ Q5 Steel Frame will be at my FFL either Friday or Saturday. I am not sure if it will fit the Steel Frame Q5 but will try it and let you know. In the meantime I did place my order with RHT last night.

Code3FPV Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I saw a post on instagram showing that you have to modify the normal Q5 match CompTac holster by cutting away the plastic to allow the full length light rail of the SF to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had a Kydex holster seems a heat gun would fix the full length dust cover issue without having to cut holster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harbor Freight has a cheap one. Very useful for lighting charcoal without lighter fluid (and faster) on the high setting and drying your gun out after a rainy match (after removing the plastic bits, of course) on the low setting. https://www.harborfreight.com/1500-watt-dual-temperature-heat-gun-572-1112-96289.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritinUSA Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Put a 13lb recoil spring in there and there will be a lot less muzzle flip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I think a more even comparison would be a SP01 Shadow vs the sf as they're both much closer in weight. Then their different characteristics I think would be more apparent. Also, to the dudes in the video look at your torso when you shoot. Nine minor is standing you up and moving your whole upper body backwards. You're not taking full advantage of a good grip if your stance is letting this happen.

Any other holsters ready to go? To hold me until the RHT comes in? I haven't been able to find anything. Veil Solutions has one, but they tell me they're shipping them all to Walther as fast as they can make them.

Desperately anticipating first guys coming in who actually shot it to share opinions. As with this video and others posted to social media, I notice the muzzle of the Q5 SF dipping when the slide returns to battery. Others have commented it may be a grip issue of the shooter or that the gun may be slightly over sprung from factory. That’s all I have observed at this point, but it does look like a nice shooting pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 They are over sprung… 17lb is the recoil spring from the factory… my polymer Q5 runs great with a 13lb… 132PF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vactor Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 shot mine today for the first time. very very easy to manage. easy to be accurate. got a holosun 570c at the range (got a great deal on it too). overall, i can see why this will be a good choice. sights drop back to your initial picture quickly without having to adjust too much. trigger is ok. overall truly fantastic.! pic is 5 shot groups at 10 yards after sigthing in (federal premium 147gr) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theblacklabel18 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Saw Hwansik’s video of it. Looks real soft, and that’s with his 140pf loads. Probably gonna be the go to for 2011 shooters wanting to shoot production.

vactor Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 well, a tuned up shadow definitely has a better single action trigger. but this is more balanced to stay on target after recoil. balance makes it easier for me. but, the best part of this gun is the trigger reset for try fire because of the trigger return spring. to me, that will make this much easier to really get better with since you can train your muscles for the continual trigger pull in dry fire since it mostly resets. it's as accurate or moreso than an accu shadow and has a faster time getting sights back on target for me. and better dry fire. i'll trade that for the accu single action trigger.

On my SF, I have tried the uncaptured ss rod from ZR Tac and a Wilson 5" 13 lb flatwire and the take down lever will not close. This combo is discussed as working in the polymer Q5 . I can confirm it will not work in the Q5 SF. Suggestions anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remove the tension screws and replace them with longer screws and longer hose spacers. No heating required and feels like it was made for the gun.

lcs Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) Where do you find a 13lb recoil spring for the SF version? Edited January 14, 2019 by lcs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I use a 5" wilson-combat 1911 flat-wire spring in the polymer Q5. I don't know the diameter of the SF rod, so I don't know if it will fit it. A Glock spring might also work. Has anyone measured the diameter of the SF guide rod ?
