highhope Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Q4 sf and Q4 sf Optics Ready.. The q4 sf rear sight is very interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeybooboo Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Looks cool. I’d probably prefer this over the q5 sf, even for competition so I’ll def check one out. Only thing I don’t like it their backstrap at the top. It’s wide and can irritate the thumb knuckle but otherwise this is gonna be sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritinUSA Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Personally, I think the non-optic version may be the way to go for CO, as the slide can be milled deeper to lower the dot height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't seen the post about the slim grips for the SF check it out. Looks 1911/2011-ish and pretty thin, I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowdyb Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 For 1,400 a gun and over weight for ccp, I don't see why anyone would get a 4" gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These have got to be marketed to the GunFighterDeathStalker Shooting School’s customers. I can’t conceive of any other market. “I really want to appendix carry a gun each day which is the size of a Glock 19, but weighs as much as one that’s made out of tungsten.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BartCarter Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I went to a pre-Shot Show event yesterday at Pro-Gun Club in Boulder, NV. Headed right to the Walther booth, and there they were, the new Q4 in optic plate and iron sight configurations.I have shot Walthers for a number of years, being attracted to their paddle magazine releases and their triggers. I was fine with poly until someone talked me into trying the Q5 steel frame. I have been shooting it for a few months now and am really spoiled.When I picked up the Q4 SF, it had all the ergonomics and balance of the Q5 SF. They somehow have the weight distribution well thought out like the Q5 because it seemed as though I was shooting the 5". Maybe eliminating those lightening cuts did it. The recoil and muzzle flip seemed minimal, the dot staying in the Vortex Venom window and coming right back on target. Thank you TPC!Same grip as the 5". The grip is really nice, but just a little to big for me. On my 5" I went with LOK thin grips and clearanced them for my thumb to hit the mag release without having to change my grip. I will do the same for the 4".The 4" has what they call a "duty-optimized" beaver tail. It gives a higher purchase for better recoil control over a poly. And because it is shorter, I think it will carry better in a holster or for CCW than the 5". It is more rounded than a poly, so it fits the web of my hand better.So, the Q4 SF in not available yet, but I'll be buying one as soon as they are available. I'm going with the skinny adaptor plate with the Shield RMSc instead of milling my own, like I usually do. I'm thinking of using the Q4 for competition and carry. Looks like it would be fine for both.Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with Walther and have never received anything of value from Walther. They just work for me.

The point is just my curiosity about the effect of the presence ,or lack there of, for their contingency program on sales. I know many people who bought various Walthers solely off hoping to recoup the purchase cost in a year of competition. With that very visible option gone are the guns still an attractive purchase?

Why wouldn't it be a viable option? Steel framed gun, less recoil than plastic guns, accurate, reliable, 2 guns in 1 with optic plates etc...

The Walthers are awesome guns. They’re extremely accurate. It’s the only striker fired steel frame gun. I feel it’s one of the better made guns out there IMO. The contingency program got the gun in hands of people who might not have tried it out otherwise. I doubt there were a ton of people who didn’t like it, but shot it anyways. That sounds like a success. Edited January 22, 2020 by B_RAD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
