FORT SMITH, Ark. –-(Ammoland.com)- New to the Walther line of legendary pistols is the PPQ .45 ACP.
Designed for personal protection and recreational shooting, this .45 represents the pinnacle of German craftsmanship.
The gun is equipped with the Carl Walther signature quick defense trigger, which improves accuracy and allows for precise follow up shots. The PPQ .45 is fashioned with the traditional front and rear slide serrations for superior handling during use, and features fully ambidextrous controls like all PPQ models.
The PPQ .45 is without equal in the striker fired polymer framed centerfire pistol market. Like all other PPQ models the trigger is a crisp 5.6 lbs. making it the best out of the box trigger in the industry.
This new .45 houses three separate safeties helping make it a truly capable and safe handling firearm when being used on the range or when carried concealed. Accessories can easily be mounted on the mil-spec Picatinny rail. The overall length is 7.4 inches, a magazine capacity of 12 rounds, and a polygonal rifled 4.25 inch barrel which is an upgrade from the traditional button rifling process.
Cyndi Flannigan, Walther Arms’ Vice President of Sales and Marketing says of the new pistol, “We are excited to bring a .45 Auto to the Walther line. This new caliber and product offering is a benchmark for Walther and the PPQ,” says Flannigan.
“We have built it to the same exacting German standards that deliver the ultimate home defense and personal protection firearm.”
Adding the .45 caliber to the Walther handgun line expresses Walther’s dedication to continued innovation and expansion in the fast growing personal protection industry. The PPQ .45 ACP will hit the market and be available in retail stores on October 1st, 2015.
Walther has earned the trust of law enforcement professionals, recreational shooters, and athletes through its line of reliable pistols, competition guns and tactical rimfire replicas. Walther Arms manufactures and markets firearms of various calibers ranging from .22 to .45.
hey steve, U still living in communist NEW JERSEY, here in HOUSTON, TX…. you can go to LGS , fill the 4473, wait 10 minutes , paid for it, and take it home or gun-range, whatever make U happy
I own aPPQ 9mm and I love it. I had the opportunity to shoot the .45ACP version and was very impressed. They feel about the same in your hand and the triggers are amazing. They are so close in appearance and size to the eye that when I was loading mags for the .45, I found myself picking up the wrong pistol. I own a 1911 and I am figuring on adding the PPQ .45 as soon as the state of New Jersey processes my permit application- takes 3 months.

To Mike. The Walther PPQ M2 45 has (3) separate safeties. 1st one- Trigger Bar Safety/ 2nd- Strike Safety/ 3rd-Drop Safety. A good Walther PPQ 45 gun video on YouTube to watch is on “Kentucky Gun Co.” They show these safeties.
I have both a 22 and a 9 Walther and love the way they feel and shoot. I got a price on the new PPQ today of $670. could be on sale Black Friday. I’m not sure by what they mean “that it has three separate safeties”? ANY ANSWERS?
