Thank you Hammer for letting me use her. Hopefully this thorough review is your payment for the time I spent with her.



Walther PPQ - Polymer Perfection

EDIT: Good catch

Great review. That trigger looks sick on your M&P.

I had to get my p2000 out and dry fire it a few times after watching that. Double action is a strange term for it since it does break crisply like that, but the hammer never has to reset since it's recocked already. IDK. OK, more than a few.

Your reviews are awesome, wish I could donate mine for a run down. Got 357sig?

I had one with the lever mag release. Much preferred it over the button when I felt both

Still regret selling it

Nice review.

Is the hole in the backstrap for a lanyard? I guess you have to hold it to know if it's going to be annoying.

Adjustable backstraps if I recall correctly

Little pin in there you pop out

Thank you sir! If you have a .40 barrel for it, I could probably review it for much cheaper.

No targets to display but as I said in the video, 2-chest, 1-head drills were pretty easy with this gun. It was very easy to control and the sights were wide for quick acquisition.

Well, that roll pin would probably be tough enough to hold a lanyard so maybe that's what it's for. But that was my only gripe with the grip. Besides that, it fits like a glove.

EDIT: Speaking of gloves, if you were wearing some while shooting this, I doubt you would feel that gap. And other shooters may not grip the pistol as hard as I do. The video was mainly just showing my personal experience with it.

And by "pop out" I'm sure you mean "punch out." I wish the straps were easier to swap.

Mine has a gap as well, but it's in soft rubber so I don't really notice it.



I need to price a 40 barrel.

I'm impressed with how easy that gun breaks down. The ambi slide release on mine is the pin that holds it together. It's trick engineering, but you'd never be able to slide it on that fast without a ton of practice.

You ONLY have a 357 sig barrel? Man I bet you hardly ever get to practice with that thing.

It sounds like it's much trickier than this. Then again, every gun breaks down differently. But the ease of this disassembly shouldn't have any hold on the quality of the gun overall.

Yeah I have a set of punches I used mostly for building my ARs that I was forced to go to when experimenting with the different sized grips

For the Ppq and XDm the grip it came equipped with was always the most comfortable. Not the case for the Ruger sr22

I tend to lean to large grips instead of smaller ones. But everyone's hand is different and that versatility of a swappable grip is nice.

hey Bapple, you have a review of the BM ACR or just that one POV video?

Also, Walther PPK review?

Just thought you did a very thorough job with your review, figured I'd ask here before browing the ol' UTube

It would he cool for an OB'er to get YouTube famous for gun reviews. I had no problem letting bapple use my gun, and it would be perfect if other people offered up some test subjects for him.

His reviews are similar to nutnfancy with the outlines, which keeps him on track and helps with structuring the reviews.

Needs to get some more live firing shots and grouping shots, so he needs more things to shoot. I am thinking about offering up the Glock my step-dad bought so he can do sort of a mid-sized polymer review

I know I raised this from the dead but I think that is a great idea! I like the Nutnfancy and Hikok45 videos and would like to see somebody from here do something similar. God knows this board has enough firearms to loan.

I would add one thing to review videos of guns. Try to find at least one holster that works for the gun and show it on the review if the loaner has one. I had a terrible time trying to find a holster for my CZ75.
