WALTHER PPQ - PPQ (Police Pistol Quick Defense) is a semi-automatic pistol developed by the German company Carl Walther GmbH Sportwaffen of Ulm for law enforcement, security forces and the civilian shooting market as a potential replacement for the Walther P99. The Walther PPQ is a short recoil-operated locked breech semi-automatic pistol that uses a modified Browning cam-lock system adapted from the Hi-Power pistol. The PPQ has a glass fiber-reinforced polymer frame and steel slide assembly. It can be broken down into its main parts or field stripped with a take down catch without the help of tools. Ergonomics and fully ambidextrous controls were a key focus in the design of the firearm, and as a result, three interchangeable grip back straps are included to accommodate various hand shapes and sizes; this feature permits most shooters a comfortable and efficient grip on the firearm.
