Walther PPQ M2 Novice review

Well put together vid, thanks for sharing.
Much as I like pellet firing CO2 pistols, I have both the circular mag CP88 and CP99 Walthers, when it comes to blowback pistols, it's all in the fun not accuracy, and BB pistols do it for me.
Talking about expensive magazines, the one used in the PPQ is the two piece, pinned together type. In my experience these are the only ones that I've ever seen broken. What happens is ham fisted, or maybe just inexperienced owners, use excessive force on the CO2 bulb screw resulting in one or both of the alloy tangs breaking off the top part. A comparison of various mags in my pic, all BB. The last three are very robust being cast in one piece.
The first one is from my H & K VP9, built much the same as yours, next to it is the fully enclosed Beretta 92A1, then the Remington 1911, at the end my Luger PO8.

If I am honest the BB mags seem less likely to jam and fail. But my garden is too small for ricochets! 7.5 metres on the diagonal. With BB's the only plinking was off of the glass in our patio doors LOL
 
I have the Walther PPK/S nice and sleek pistol. Very small to hold in hand, my wife prefers it out of all my pistols. Nice to shoot too, only shame is the flimsy magazine wish it was metal feels like it's going to snap so I now have 4 magazines just in case 😁

Good review well put together. Cracking fun to be fair first co2 replica I've had and can't fault it. Great fun for back yard plinking, this is mine.
