Hauraki Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Hi there I've been shooting IPSC production with CZ SP-01 shadow for some time, and want to try a striker pistol with dots. I shortlisted Walther PPQ Q4 Tac or Glock 17 Gen 5 MOS FS and would like to hear any suggestions. Both can be used for production class and could later add a dot for production optics. PPQ may have an edge with stock trigger, better stock sight but has a higher bore axis. I will work on the trigger/internals where it's legal, Glock has more mods and holster choices. They retail for the same price here. Didn't quite like the balance of Q5 or G34, the later also not approved for IPSC production. Any thoughts please? Thanks.

Hauraki Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 Thanks, the steel frame is not available here downunder, nor is CZ P10F. My main holding back on the walther is the bore axis and muzzle recovery time. I'd certainly upgrade if they would produce a m3 with lower bore axis. Glock 17 G5 mos may last me a lot longer, unless they introduce a huge improvement on the MOS system itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansedgli Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Can you get a glock 17a mos here? The walther seems to recoil a lot to me and the one I shot wouldn't chamber my ammo. Very short chamber. I like the sig x5 for a polymer gun. With the frame weight they are well balanced. Recoil is low and the bore axis doesn't cause an issue in real life.

Hauraki Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 17A gen 5 yes, non MOS Very limited Sig here, there is a X5 but not in local shops, it's quite heavy from the figures, 1 KG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prov1x Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Q5SF is the answer you seek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansedgli Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 The stock x5 is 934 grams with a romeo 1 and a blocked to 10 21 round magazine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauraki Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 Thanks... Q5 SF is not available here, it's also not yet approved for IPSC production, last time 8 checked. How much of an improvement is it over Q5 match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salsantini Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 PPQ has a much better trigger. Go with the PPQ and don't look back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustang684 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 I just traded my tac4 in on an MOS Glock. The Walther has nice big slide levers but it seemed whippy recoil wise. Using 147 gr loads seemed to help a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It fits my hand better and trigger feels smoother than a 17 MOS Gen 5, and a lot cheaper. Will see if it shoots flat or not. I usually shoot 124 gr, almost bought a case of 115 be but a bit worried about recoil, only grabbed a few boxes to try out next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustang684 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 I tested my G34 Gen5 today. Was using 147 factory loads but it was smooth with straight back recoil. Really like this MOS platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauraki Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 Glock ships with 4 plates right? Any chance your Q4 Tac came with 3 plates in the box? Mine came with none, and manual says they are optional. Glock would have a lower bore axis and optic mount height, enjoy it. I'll shoot Q4 with iron sight first before I decide on an optic.

Mustang684 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 The Tac4 came with three optics plates and the Glock should have 4, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
