Hi all,
So I found myself thinking about this during the week while hovering my mouse pointer over the buy option on a Walther PPQ to take advantage of the rebate. The PPQ came out in 2011. That's a fair amount of time ago. Now I fully agree that it has excellent ergos, probably the best stock trigger on the market, and is quite reliable. But it's an evolution of the P99 that came out in 1996. Both FN and S&W have given their products a refresh in that time as has Glock (even though with Glock those are just minor changes).
Despite the lack of cosmetic changes that may or may not have any benefit, there is also no PPQc despite the P99ASc being out there. Yes there is the PPS M2, but no real subcompact and it seems weird that Walther hasn't made the effort to do a subcompact PPQ. There are longslide versions of the PPQ and extended magazines, but these are all add ons that don't affect the original frame.
When you consider how long the P99 has been out I start to wonder when or if we'll see the next design from Walther. And again I like the PPQ and I'm not saying it needs an update per se, but I'm left wondering what is next from Walther.
Thoughts?
