Is the Walther Q5 Match SF legal for SSP?

I am asking due to the milling on the front of the slide.

As long it's from the factory it's ok (like a Glock 34).  According to the docs it should make weight and the dimensions looks good for the box.  I'd like to see someone who gets their hands on one to take a pic in the box with the magwell (for ESP).

The standard Q5 Match is legal. The slide is identical; nothing has changed in how the slide is made.

 

Ironically, that slide is actually almost an ounce heavier than the standard 5” PPQ M2 slide.

How did that happen?

I would guess that some of the weight comes from the added hardware involved in the optics mount system.
