Looking at the new Walther PPQ45. Any hands on experience here?

It looks cool.  I have always liked the looks of Walthers.  Always wanted to buy one, but just never have.

No experience with one, but from what I hear the trigger is very good. And some say the best out of the striker fired pistols. But in 45ACP I prefer my Sig P220 over just about any other 45 except my WC Classic.

And one other thing most everyone I know that has one has had problems finding decent accessories such as NS and holsters for them.

On the holsters there are lots of places that will make custom kydex setups.  I have a buddy that does IWB kydex/leather and he will make anything as long as you bring him your gun to use as a pattern.  His are not as pretty as the big shops, but they fit and work well.

Had a Glock 23 for a bit Mark. Liked it well enough but... I may need to work on BD about that Sig. It's about $300 more than the Walther! Thinking, thinking, thinking.

Just a thought, but I think a good share of the $300 would be the night sights the P220 has.

Walthers have plastic sights. Kind of a down side there for sure

If you go for the S&W SW99 version you get the improved trigger guard magazine release.  Get also a Walther PPS.

You'll smoke a turd in hell for that one buddy. And I don't even like Glocks.

Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.
