Feel and weight. Overall, the pistol is well built and works. Using a red laser and shooting rest, I can put 20 pellets into a 2" group at 12 yds (7.4 gr wadcutters).

Make Trigger pull smoother and lighter. Sometimes heavy which affects accuracy.

Rear sight adjusts windage not elevation. Low CO2 will not allow slide to move back and cock pistol. Only getting 40 pellets per CO2 tube. Sometime 1 or 2 pellets will not exit the rubber pellet magazine. Slide will not stay in the open position after last pellet is shot (although you can manually lock the slide open).

The product is exactly as advertised. Both my overall and value for money ratings are based on the price point. The gun is not perfect but I don't think you can buy a better product at the price.

I was a bit put off by the clamshell packaging. It gives a first impression of a cheap product.

The trigger can be fussy in double action mode. The trigger sometimes resets incorrectly in single action mode. I was initially irritated but got used to it after some shooting. The belt was a problem at first. It would not advance properly and I almost returned the gun. The fix was to very,very, very lightly lube the outside surface of the belt with high-quality silicone grease. Rub a tiny bit of lube between the thumb and forefinger and then rotate the belt in contact with the forefinger. If you over lube, you will be very sorry so be careful.

Very authentic. Weight and balance equals the 9mm version. Fair value for the money if it would function properly.

Very heavy trigger with no dry fire click or click on reset. You tube videos for the German version show a much different trigger action.

First ordered May 2021. Received late November after a very long back order. Pistol would not fire. Tried 2 different CO2 cartridges...no luck. Returned for an exchange. Second pistol arrived 2 weeks later with the same problem. It did fire once, but never again. Lubed, and burned through 2 more cartridges with no luck. I think the magazine is faulty but not sure. I will contact the tech support people before I either return or ask for a refund. I had really high hopes.

I have both pellet gun versions of the PPQ. Both have the same size and weight. Both have double action only triggers and feel equally good in the hand when gripped. There are several differences in the PPQ M2 that I like. The warning message was moved to the underside of the trigger guard and was printed in a less visible gray color. While the lower frame is polymer, the slide is metal. The slide blowback is moderately strong although it does not lock back after the last pellet is shot. The slide lock can be set manually. There is a functional trigger blade safety in addition to the safety lever on the right side of the frame. The CO2 hex key is located in a removable backstrap. The best feature is the magazine which combines the CO2 with a 21 round pellet belt. The magazine frame is metal. The pellet belt feels like a rubber polymer. The front and rear sights have white dots, and the rear sight is adjustable for windage.

There's only one thing I would like to change. I would like to see the slide lock back after shooting the last pellet. The current engineering technology doesn't have a way to do that with a pellet magazine. I'm hoping a technology advancement will make it possible one day.

I really like this combined CO2 / pellet magazine. The pellet belt is fully contained within the metal frame of the magazine which greatly protects the belt as the magazine is inserted into the pistol grip. Pellet loading was easy, but individuals with larger fingers and thumbs may find the limited space in the magazine frame to be a little small. Out of the box, the pistol shot to point of aim without any windage adjustment. Ten shot groups shot from a bench rest at 18 feet to target were almost 2 inches in size. I stopped shooting after shot 51 because the pellets were starting to hit lower on the target. Total shot count per CO2 may be in the range of 50 to 60. As received trigger pull was initially very heavy, but at the end of the first CO2, the trigger pull had lightened considerably to a reasonable 6 lbs, 6.8 oz average.

I like the accuracy of this pellet pistol feels really good in the hand and has some weight to it.Trigger was stiff at first but after a couple rounds through it everything seem to fall in place and now trigger is really nice still a little heavy but that's a given knowing is got to rotate the chain mag as well

I would have loved to have the chain mag a little bit bigger so we can put pointed pellets for now I'm just running the Crosman premieres not having any issues

I don't know what's going on lately with Pyramyd Air but seems like the more I deal with them the less professional and less work goes into Packaging correctly not only did my package go a totally different route than it always does, to a state it never goes to and showed up late my package was completely open and the gun out of its package loose in the big box just banging around I don't appreciate that for all the money I've dropped on Pyramid air they can do a little better on packaging and customer service.

The gun feels identical to the real one. Its weight is perfect, sights are perfect, and its absolutely dead accurate. I can hit cans at 50 feet all day.

The trigger pull is waaaaaaay too heavy. When you pull the trigger, it rotates the belt magazine to bring then next pellet to the barrel. This mechanism makes the trigger 6+ lbs which is too much. Maybe it will break in over time, but I have shot 400+ pellets through it and its still the same. Also, the slide does not lock back on the last shot, but it makes sense as the accusation of the mechanism doesnt have a way to do this. Not a big deal though. Fix the design so the trigger pull is less than 6+ lbs and it will be the BEST PELLET PISTOL EVER!!!

This is the most accurate and real feeling pistol I own and dead dead dead accurate. Aside from the trigger pull being waaaaay to heavy, this gun is worth every penny! I waited for this gun to be available for over a year since it came out and it was worth it.

The mechanics of this pistol although different well thought . The gun itself is exactly like the real version once you work out the kinks this is a great shooter, I gave it the rating that I did because overall it's a nice gun.

The trigger pull is pretty stiff in the beginning need to shoot it at least 150 times before loosening up a bit Walther needs to work on that.

The magazine is belt fed if you break the plastic belt there is no replacement that was able to on line , this means you would have to buy a whole new mag also be careful when loading pellets not to stretch the belt.

perfect !

Waited a long time until this came back in stock. First impression is the weight and balance are very realistic. The quality of the polymer frame is outstanding with precise fit and finish. Like the adjustable rear sight that can be set according to the ammo. Fairly accurate and consistent groupings for plinking in the 5-7 yards range and with lead wadcutter pellets. The Magazine shoe holds an Allen key that is handy to load the CO2 capsule. I discovered that I could fit the picatinny rail Red Dot Lazer sight that came with the Walther CP99 Compact I also have.

Lock-up on last round would have been nice so you know when you've shot an actual 'last' round.

This pistol uses a 21 round belt feed type magazine as does another replica semi-auto pistol (SIG M17) I have. While it is fun to have 20+ pellets on board when shooting it is easy to loose count of how much is left in the mag if the pellets are not all completely shot. This leaves the possibility of having an unfired round remaining present in the gun when assuming the gun has emptied of all pellets to be fired. A large portion of the belt is hidden within the metal mag casing so it is not possible to see if there are pellets left other than manually rotating the belt a full revolution to confirm that there are no unfired pellets present before putting the pistol away and after removing the spent CO2 capsule.

The realistic metal feel and weight.

Make the front end barrel recessed.

Construction is solid and sturdy. The all metal magazine is very nice. Look and feel is authentic. Accuracy is excellent: 5 shots touching at 25 feet off hand.

The trigger takes getting used to. It has a lot of travel and is pretty heavy. Not very crisp.

I have always shot with the last digit of my index finger on the trigger. But with the trigger safety on this pistol you have to wrap your index finger around the trigger to get consistent firing of the gun. The rear site is adjustable for WINDAGE NOT ELEVATION. The gun shot 2 inches to the left at 25 feet. Adjusting the rear site brought it to the bull with no trouble.

The looks

The ammo belt does not cycle properly, there is always 4 -6 pellets being skipped. The trigger is terrible!

Get the CP88, its way way better than this piece of junk.

The weight and feel is perfect. Accuracy is quite good. Takes some time to load but 20 shots is better than most.

Recess the barrel and have the slide stay back on last shot.

Great pinker. Fun to shoot. Good value for the money.

look and feel is good.

feed system is not as reliable as the rotary style but that may be due to the drop free design was not compatable to the rotary style feed .

i only own 1 air pistol, a walther cp 99 which i find very well made,, and a true replica of the p99 and never have an issue with it. neve fails so my expectations of the ppq are based on prior use of the cp 99. the ppq m2 is no where near the quality of the cp99. the belted pellet feeder has yet to feed 20 rounds with out a problem. appears to bind and after 20 shots still have pellets in the belt[these are sig match pellets] Do not expect to have the walther ppq trigger pull. trigger is gritty stacks and double action only. not made in germany.

The feel, weight and construction are spot on. Very rugged all metal magazine.

It would be good if the pistol worked. Put two CO2 cartridges in magazine but pistol would not fire with either. No gas escaped when trigger pulled. The magazine is defective. It's going back to Pyramid Air. Very disappointed.

I may have gotten a bad pistol but I would expect better quality from Walther/Umarex.

Feel and fit in the hand is great. Looks like the real gun. Well balanced due to the weight of the metal mag and metal slide. The adjustable rear sight came in handy to get this pistol on target as it was shooting 2 inches to the right out of the box. I have shot a total of 5 mags so far with no issues or problems. Accuracy seems good for a CO2 blowback. I was able to put 20 of the 21 rounds of the second mag all within the bullseye, one just outside the line. Shooting was done at 8 yards as that is the most I can get shooting indoors. I did use a support to rest my wrists on while shooting. Hopefully it will make a decent plinker out to 15 yards! The trigger is gritty and kind of mushy but not unpredictable with the mag in the gun. Without the mag the trigger pulls smooth and has a reasonably crisp break so the pellet belt advance while pulling the trigger kind of spoils what would be an other wise good trigger experience.

The slide could use closer tolerances as it rattles a little if you shake the gun. When you rack the slide, it makes bit of a hollow/tinny sound. I have a Colt Commander co2 bb that puts a smile on your face when you rack the slide! That is all part of the Replica gun experience that I look for. It needs a better trigger pull with the mag loaded. Make this field stripable like the Beretta 92a1.

I bought this because I wanted a co2 pellet blowback pistol with a full drop out mag with more than 8 shots. All those boxes got checked off. I almost returned this one after first looking it over. Now that I have shot it, I think it performs reasonably well. The trigger seems to be improving the more it gets used. I have uploaded a picture of the target shot with the second mag with the gun on the target. The Walther PPQ is noticeably louder and harder hitting than my Colt Commander bb pistol.
