And now the M2 line is getting a longer barrel for even better accuracy.<\/p>\n<p>When I first shot the PPQ M2, my expectations were not terribly high. I\u2019m a dedicated Walther fan, but I prefer the PPK to the PPQ. Or I did until I shot it. Accuracy was fantastic with the gun, and the negligible muzzle rise made for fast split times. Under seven yards, the PPQ was incredibly effective. It points almost as well as it aims, and the gun quickly became one of my favorites for concealed carry.<\/p>\n<a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/walther05.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"walthers-stretching-out-the-possibilities-of-the-ppq-m2-with-a-longer-barrel-shot-show-2014\" title=\"Walther\u2019s Stretching Out the Possibilities of the PPQ M2 with a Longer Barrel\u2014SHOT Show 2014\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-17774\" title=\"Walther\u2019s Stretching Out the Possibilities of the PPQ M2 with a Longer Barrel\u2014SHOT Show 2014\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/walther05-398x300.jpg\" alt=\"walther05\" width=\"279\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/walther05-398x300.jpg 398w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/walther05-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/walther05-1024x771.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/walther05-400x301.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/walther05.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 279px) 100vw, 279px\" \/><\/a>What if you want the same sort of performance, but with a more competitive sporting edge? How about a longer barrel and a ported slide? While the PPQ M2 seemed to have its sights firmly set on those in the market for compact 9mm, the new version seems more appropriate for competition. The ports on the barrel give it a sportier look, too. How does it perform? Too early to tell. We shot it at the range at the SHOT Show, but we didn\u2019t get to do any holster work or practical drills. The standard PPQ M2s have been selling in the high $500s. The new version shouldn\u2019t be much more. A combination of the two models will be available with a compact frame and a longer, threaded barrel. We\u2019ll have one in for review, soon, and get the low-down.<a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/walther02.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"walthers-stretching-out-the-possibilities-of-the-ppq-m2-with-a-longer-barrel-shot-show-2014\" title=\"Walther\u2019s Stretching Out the Possibilities of the PPQ M2 with a Longer Barrel\u2014SHOT Show 2014\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-17776\" title=\"Walther\u2019s Stretching Out the Possibilities of the PPQ M2 with a Longer Barrel\u2014SHOT Show 2014\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/walther02-378x300.jpg\" alt=\"walther02\" width=\"302\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/walther02-378x300.jpg 378w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/walther02-150x119.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/walther02-1024x812.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/walther02-400x317.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/walther02.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 302px) 100vw, 302px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/walther03.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"walthers-stretching-out-the-possibilities-of-the-ppq-m2-with-a-longer-barrel-shot-show-2014\" title=\"Walther\u2019s Stretching Out the Possibilities of the PPQ M2 with a Longer Barrel\u2014SHOT Show 2014\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-17772\" title=\"Walther\u2019s Stretching Out the Possibilities of the PPQ M2 with a Longer Barrel\u2014SHOT Show 2014\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/walther03-400x193.jpg\" alt=\"walther03\" width=\"280\" height=\"135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/walther03-400x193.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/walther03-150x72.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/walther03-1024x494.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/walther03.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 280px) 100vw, 280px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/walther01.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"walthers-stretching-out-the-possibilities-of-the-ppq-m2-with-a-longer-barrel-shot-show-2014\" title=\"Walther\u2019s Stretching Out the Possibilities of the PPQ M2 with a Longer Barrel\u2014SHOT Show 2014\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-17775\" title=\"Walther\u2019s Stretching Out the Possibilities of the PPQ M2 with a Longer Barrel\u2014SHOT Show 2014\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/walther01-307x300.jpg\" alt=\"walther01\" width=\"215\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/walther01-307x300.jpg 307w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/walther01-150x146.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/walther01-1024x999.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/walther01-327x320.jpg 327w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/walther01.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 215px) 100vw, 215px\" \/><\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Walther Arms If you haven\u2019t ever picked up a Walther PPQ M2, you need to.
