I carry a PPS in 9mm for the summer/warmer weather and a HK USP 45 C in the winters/cooler weather. I LOVE my PPQ M1...LOVE it! The ONLY reason I will NOT buy one of these is because Walther caved and went with a button mag release. Sure, more Americans prefer the button...but once you get used to the paddle ( and you paddle lovers know what I'm talking about ) you'll never go back.
