Walther Q5 Black Tie - Finest Walther I've ever owned

[bac1023]

...and I've pretty much owned them all.

 

The Black Tie is one of the four new Meister Manufaktur pistols Walther is building.  Its got a carbon steel frame and slide cut from solid billet steel.  Its then Tennifer treated and finished with Stinox, which is a nice satin finish.  The one piece wrap around grips are machined from a block of aerospace grade aluminum.

 

The new Dynamik Performance Trigger is possibly the best striker fired trigger I've ever experienced.

 

Even the presentation is top notch...

The Black Tie is hefty.  It weighs in at 48oz with an empty magazine, which is 5oz heavier than my Q5 Match SF Pro on the left.  The Black Tie is near double the price of the standard SF models, but well worth it, in my opinion.

You mean like 99% of modern handguns do?  In any event, vague terms like "carbon steel" and "billet steel" don't mean a whole lot.

Gotta love marketing hyperbole.  An empty phrase if there ever was one.

 

I'm sure it's a very nice pistol tho.

I wonder why it is not optic ready like the regular Q5 SF.

I agree. Very odd for a specialty gun not to have all the bells and whistles. I would have guessed it to have the optic cut, optic plate set, several magazines (at least 3), and lower weight trigger springs in the box.

  Like the name Black Tie, all dressed up.
