To meet the rising demands of the modern pistol shooter, Walther Arms, Inc., took to its PPQ pistol line for the upgrade. The result is the Q5 Match, a recoil-operated, double-action-only striker-fired pistol with a lightened slide and built to host a variety of optics. This target-ready pistol weighs in under 30 ozs., provides a 5” match-grade barrel and capacity for 15-round detachable box magazines. To learn more about Walther’s Q5 Match, watch our NRA Gun of the Week hosted by American Rifleman’s Christopher Olsen.
