This was entertaining. Still loving my PPQ.

Seems about standard for today's polymer striker fired pistols.

I just wish the ppq had more capacity...

sweet video, I have the PPQ M1 and love it, about a 1000rds through it now with zero failures, though I haven't tried those conditions

I have 17 round mags for my 9mm PPQ...comes with 15 rounders, which is what came with my Glock 19. If you want to go crazy, there are high cap mags that will fit the 'Q that would rival the 33 rounders from Glock, so no, capacity really isn't an issue with the PPQ.

No wonder why my Greek Army Garand looked so rough!

Cool video.

My PPQ First Edition came with a 17round extended magazine. I always prefer flush magazines though. And it takes the same mags as the Baby Eagle if I recall correctly, so I bought a couple of those from Magnum Industries, and they are less expensive and completely reliable (15 rounds).

I've never had a FTF or anything, but on the 17 round mag it sometimes doesn't lock back after the last shot. I have had it double tap on accident a couple times, probably because I wasn't holding it tight enough and the light trigger allows for a bump fire. Frankly, I think the trigger feels too wide, which just takes getting used to. I'm no more accurate with my PPQ than a Glock, M&P or CZ75. So my overall experience is that it is a top notch gun, but not head and shoulders above the rest. Maybe once I start doing more double/triple tap practice it will begin to shine though.

Noticed they didn't show their most elite unit of sheep guards

Haha! Or the real torture when they pour out the olive oil...


Greeks Walthers on a Bersa budget ( King Otto would be pleased. Queen Merkel not so much)

The dude holding the balloons has some balls. That is crazy. Talk about trusting your partner.

I thought it was a cool video.

Yea, I would fire any IDIOT who pulled a stunt like that in a heartbeat. It kind of ruined the credibility of the so called experts to me.

Yeah no doubt. Also the camera man was BEHIND the guy with the balloons.

There was also a point on the live range where three lanes were shooting and the guy in front of the camera charges the target, crossing the firing line. WTF? Are they so "professional" in Greece that they don't care about safety?

No .45 and only 11 rounds in .40. I'll take the 16 rounds of .40 or 13 rounds of .45 in the xdm.

I don't like having those super extended mags in a carry gun. I prefer a flush mag.

Reliability is pretty much the same for the standard polymer guns (glock, m&p, xd/m, ppq, etc...)
