Family man and hunter Scott Reekers shares his experience with the Walther PPQ 45. Combined with Hornady ammunition, this compact pistol is perfect for concealed carry and packs the punch needed to handle threats, human and otherwise. Reekers travels with his from home to trailhead and all the way to hunting camp.
Scott’s ammo for the Walther PPQ 45:
Hornady Critical Defense 45 AUTO 185 gr FTX

Walther’s PPQ line is a top shelf model, in any caliber, 9mm, .40 S&W and .45ACP. It has the best factory trigger on the market IMO. I own the 9mm and .40 models, and both are a joy to shoot. I’ve not had the opportunity to fire up the .45 model, but if it’s anything at all like it’s smaller (caliber) siblings, it’ll be a performer.
Glad your experience has been good Chuck, the 45 is a shooter as well.
The PPQ is an awesome gun in 45acp. It’s been my EDC for over 2 years now, with one backup mag (25 rds of 230gr PDX1 Defender BJHP).
