Why does the Walther PPQ have to be so fucking ugly? Even a glock is better looking than this shit

I'm this close to buying one because of the rebate but god damn this thing is UGLY
>>
>>34729794

if you don't like it why buy it ?

because it's on sale ?

are you a girl ?
>>
>>34729809
Speaking of the sale, how does this compare to a M&P9c or H&K P2000sk? For HD and possible option to carry.

Not the smaller PPS, the PPQ trigger was made of sex and german magic.
>>
>>34729809
>need gun
>it's on sale

That said fuck this shit I'm just gonna get a glock 17 and call it a day, at least the glock has some aesthetics over this PPQ
>>
>>34729894

likely the glock will be easier to resell later

good luck

Man, now I wish I'd gotten the Navy instead of the 5".

>>34730030
can you CC a PPQ easily/safely? the trigger seems a bit light
>>
>>34730030
I probably have versions of this photo saved because I want to do exactly that. Possibly with one of the magnum research guns if it's a straight clone

No reason you couldn't. It has all the omnipresent preeminent safeties.

I prefer to carry DA/SA probably for the same reason you have concern. If that's a big concern for you too, the P99 is DA/SA.
>>
>>34730271

Sure, it's called keeping your finger off the trigger.
>>
>PPQ
>ugly

No.
>>
>>34730353
Unfortunately the new rebate isnt P99 :( hmmm....

This requires research.

>>34730357
Its more "i dont want to lean forward and have something push against the holster, the holster bend into the trigger, and i give my wiener a new blowhole"

Also, you have a nice collection anon

HK has a rebate going for four free clips. P30 is DA/SA. It's minutely larger tho.

Good things holsters are made from mesh. You couldn't make that happen if your life depended on it

Is your holster made of cheese or something?

>Its more "i dont want to lean forward and have something push against the holster, the holster bend into the trigger, and i give my wiener a new blowhole"
I don't understand. Are you saying you'd be fine with a holster that touches the trigger directly, as long as the trigger is heavy enough? What the heck did you mean by >>34730271?

You realize the trigger-safety thing has been the standard since glocks in the 80s
>>
>>34729859
It's 100 times uglier than a VP9 but 100 times more reliable and has a better trigger.

The Walther PPS M2 is the best subcompact single stack 9mm pistol available for conceal and carry, and anyone who thinks otherwise is a massive fucking faggot.
>>
Never thought the PPQ was ugly but I may be biased because I really like the trigger and ergonomics and never felt that way with any other polymer pistol. What bothers me about the VP9 is that the slide release levers differs on both sides while the PPQ has similarly shaped slide release levers and magazine releases (if you get the M1 PPQ version).

The only polymer pistol that really looks ugly to me is the Beretta APX. I hear the ergonomics on that gun is superb, the trigger is pretty good, and the slide serrations are very usable but it is because of those serrations that make the gun really ugly.
>>
>>34729794
Because Walther sold a license to Radom to make P99s. The Poles uglified the gun to an impossible level. For some reason, the guys at Walther found the Radom piece of shit to be fantastic and aesthetic as fuck and they used that garbage design for their next gun, the PPQ. Note that the PPX and the Creed both look like shit, too. Actually, only the P99 and the first gen PPS are good looking.
>>
>>34729859
Why are you comparing a compact to subcompacts, you fucking moron?

I think the 5" PPQ looks better and it falls under the rebate

What I really want is a fullsized CZ P10
>>
>>34730494
Meh, the LC9s is thinner and lighter while having the same capacity.

It's literally not. My PPQ was problematic and I actually think the VP9 has a better trigger overall.

>>34729859
Why would you choose the P2000sk if you're going to compare it to the PPQ. Just get the P2000.
>>
>>34729794
...it honestly reminds me of a hi-point...

It's nowhere near as bad as the PPX though
>>
>>34729794
Does it not match your purse?

The PPQ being ugly is the sole reason I chose the VP9 over it. I have no regrets
>>
>>34729794
Just get a Glock. Every time you look at that thing you'll be reminded that money could have gone toward a Glock but you fucked up. And you'll be stuck with it since nobody will buy that ugly shit used. I mean fucks sake look at that slide, it's bordering on Hipoint tier aesthetics.
>>
>>34732921
its cheaper than a glock 19 with the rebate and has a much, much better stock trigger.

in this modern age, lasers can destroy material provided the material they are destroying is what the laser's frequency is attuned for. While Dynamic focus and witness precursor lasers allow for rapid adjustment, this is not always the case, nor is such equipment always available.
>Lasers often pass through transparent objects harmlessly. Thus you protect your gun by skeletonizing it. Transparent polymer is a good structural choice, thus mitigating your available absorptive surface area.
>I worked at my dad's nintendo factory under the laser special forces in the sega wars. All my friends area dead and I have PTSD every time I see sonic, but at the end we won. That was worth something right? right anon?

>>
>>34733184
>measuring by the most subjective preference possible

I think makarovs look like ass but i respect their durability and understand why people use them for cc.

Lots of people think glocks are ugly or boring too.
>>
>>34733217
All I'm saying is that it's not too much to ask for a gun to have at least SOME anesthetics. I'm not even a guy who cares that much, I like understated boring shit like the Lincoln Town car.

The glock isn't flashy but at least it has clean lines. The ppq has way too much bullshit going on, it's like a Picasso painting
>>
>>34733247
I'll give you this, im not a fan of the front serations with the giant WALTHER logo put in the middle. Fair point about the Glock, but aesthetically i actually prefer ones without finger grooves. But that may just because I hate grooves.

The stipling/grip texture on the PPQ i do like though.
>>
>>34729794
Get a P99 or PPS M1
>>
>>34733147
>the rebate
Reminder that these things take like 6 months minimum, so don't think you'll be able to buy the Walther instead of a Glock and still be able to pay your electricity bill this month.

Opinion.

Rebates generally take 2-4 months.

why make a steel or aluminum framed DA/SA when you can make another carbon copy glock for cheap. Gone are the days of aesthetics and craftsmanship, this is what inovation is
