New Walther Q5 Steel frame

[Dean C.]

I have to admit I really like the concept here especially as it fixes my number one gripe with the PPQ and that is the finger groves not working with my hand. But with an MSRP of $1,500 that is awfully steep just to get a steel frame and a mag well. I am really excited to get my hands on one regardless as I really like the steel framed striker fired gun concept.

Well you beat me to it. Gabby Franco posted this on her IG account the other day. I meant to start a thread here with pics.

I almost bought the plastic Q5 last year but went with the Canik TP9 SFx instead.

Here's the Walther website info:

So, I just need someone to buy my Q5 that's in the classifieds so they have the rest of the parts to go with a new steel frame!

Shameless plug, I know.

It does look cool though.

I’d love to see this frame make to the standard PPQs, but I understand why it’s targeted at completion guys.

I like the looks, but I agree on the price.

Sometimes its left uncompleted - that's just the way it goes....

Do you think these will be heavily discounted? That's a CZ price but it's not a CZ

I’d guess they’ll have some discount but it won’t be much. Those that want a steel PPQ for comp probably aren’t cross shopping CZs.

Good point , that $1,500 price point puts you in Tactical Sport Orange money range. Plus the TSO is 20+1 or 24+1 versus 15+1 or 17+1

It's good to see some action in the market for sure. Hopefully others will hop on board. I'll probably shoot my Canik FSX again next year unless I fool myself into thinking I need a metal gun.

Actually that's probably exactly what it's meant to compete against. Heavy frame to compete against the Stock 2/3 and Shadow 2. But it's already cut for a RDS so you can jump between carry optics and production if you want.

I see it more as a natural moving up point for those already running PPQs.

But I don’t cross shop striker and hammer fired. IMO, my PPQs had great triggers, but they weren’t Shadow 2 nice. So it’s likely it could just be me that wouldn’t cross shop them.
