Walther PPQ M2 .45 – Handgun of the Year 2016

The Walther PPQ M2 in calibre .45 ACP is one of the most impressive handguns on the market and was rightfully awarded as America's Gun of the Year 2016. It combines the proven ergonomics and precision of the PPQ series with the powerful stopping force of the .45 ACP calibre – in a frame barely larger than the well-known 9mm Para model.

Compact power in .45 ACP format

What makes the Walther PPQ M2 .45 particularly stand out is its remarkably compact construction despite the large calibre. With a grip circumference of only 135 mm – just 1 mm more than the 9mm model – it sits excellently in the hand and impresses with well-balanced handling. The 4.25-inch barrel ensures precise shooting performance and optimal muzzle velocity.
