Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on Umarex Walther PPQ M2 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol feels a lot like a double action trigger, it may be striker-fired so expect a bit of a longer trigger pull with a fairly long reset and a medium strength trigger weight. There is also a working trigger safety which works well.

Accuracy: So far I have not had the opportunity to test the Umarex Walther PPQ M2 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol is out so stay posted for a future Field Test Shooting video where I will see what kind of fps and accuracy we can expect from the Umarex Walther PPQ M2 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol. So far all I have to go on is what I have seen in some other video reviews I have watched, for the most part, the Umarex Walther PPQ M2 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol performed well.

Build Quality: The build quality of the Umarex Walther PPQ M2 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol is really very good, metal parts are where you would expect them, the slide, slide catch, barrel, magazine, and most internal parts giving the Umarex Walther PPQ M2 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol a nice nearly 2 pounds (1.87 pounds) of weight with the magazine which makes the Paintball version a little heavier than the real still version (1.53 pounds) but once the real steal version is loaded with a full mag this may even out a bit. The Walther PPQ M2 does have a polymer frame but again this is normal with today's modern guns and helps keep the weight down. The fit and finish are also excellent.

Realism: The Umarex Walther PPQ M2 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol is a near-perfect replica of the real steel Walther PPQ M2, from the fully licensed markings to the large .43 caliber diameter barrel. If you placed the Paintball version side by side with the real steel version I doubt you could tell them apart. You will find that the slide cycle distance is a bit shorter than it should be meaning that when the side catch is engaged the slide does not go as far back as it should. Filed stopping the Walther PPQ M2 .43 Cal. A Paintball Pistol may require some tools.

Pros:

  • Really great weight and a solid-feeling gun.
  • Full Metal slide that locks back on the last shot.
  • All metal heavy full-size drop-out magazine adds some additional weight to the gun.
  • Very Accurate Walther PPQ replica, almost indistinguishable from the real still version.
  • Everything works pretty much like the real gun so a great training tool.
  • Adjustable yellow dot sights.
  • Working trigger safety.
  • Fit and finish are excellent.
  • The magazine's spring release really shoots the magazine out.
  • Love the .43 caliber barrel opening, adds to the realism.

Cons:

  • The trigger pull seems a bit long as it shoots like a double action trigger, may be striker fired internally?
  • Magazine only holds 9 rounds, so you are going to need extras.
  • Blowback action is not full blowback, more like a typical BB airgun.

Comments: I'm really glad to see another Replica Paintball Pistol available in Canada, especially such a well-made and realistic version. The Umarex Walther PPQ M2 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol looks to be perhaps the best to date .43 caliber Paintball gun on the market and may even prove to be an option for non-lethal personal defense when using rubber balls with it. Not that I would trust my life with it but it sure looks the part and I am sure most people would not want to be on the receiving end of 9 rounds coming at you. As a training tool and Paintball gun the Umarex Walther PPQ M2 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol offers superb realism for this purpose.

Great addition to any pistol collection

The PPQ is most likely one of the best CO2 pistols out there. Shooting rubber balls is a whole new feeling with this T4E training pistol. It did considerable damage to my target rig and some balls even went through to slightly dent the inside of my garage door ;) I was able to shoot 6 mags on a single CO2 cartridge at about 25C degrees which is more than I had thought since it takes more energy to propel the heavier rubber balls. Accuracy remains good with proper technique. The overall quality is very good and the feel and weight are very nice but I only gave it 4 on 5 for the quality however for 4 reasons: 1) I would have liked to see the slider lock further back after last shot 2) the top of the magazine should have been black so the silver part doesn't show through the gap of the slider lock 3) I would have liked a more forceful action when unlocking the slider after reload 4) the mag sometimes catches when re-inserting so it needs a slight wiggle and a harder push. Also, there is no safety on this pistol except the one on the trigger. For reference I also have in my collection the Glock 17 Gen4 CO2 BB, the Sig Sauer P365 CO2 BB and the Beretta M9A3 CO2 BB. The Walther PPQ is a great addition to the collection. Perhaps a good option for personal defense since it's a T4E edition? One thing's for sure: I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of these rubber bullets!

Great Gun, great grip!

I love this gun! I wouldnt use anything else now!!! I only really have 1 thing that I can complain about, the removeable Allen key in the back falls out if the gun gets dropped, which exposes things you dont want to be getting dirt in. but other than that its a great gun. it feels real to carry, blowback feels real, slide works well, it looks real, the grip is great, I would but it again if it was a little cheaper.
