The Walther PPQ is the latest development of the Walther P99. It is largely based on the P99 Rad and P99Q (specialist variants developed for the Polish army and German Police respectively) but features an entirely new trigger system. It is a striker fired pistol but rather than having a partially loaded striker like in the Walther P99QA and Glock pistols, the striker is fully loaded meaning that when the trigger is pulled no additional cocking occurs leading to a lighter and shorter trigger pull with a shorter trigger reset. Due to the characteristics of this trigger system the pistol is marketed as a special forces weapon rather than a standard issue police pistol (German police specifications require a first shot trigger pull of greater than 6.7 pounds, whereas the trigger pull on the PPQ is only 5.6 pounds). Externally the PPQ can be easily differentiated from early P99 variants by its square trigger guard, wide front and rear slide serrations, the grip texture, a MIL-STD-1913 accessory rail with 3 grooves, and by its lack of a slide mounted decocker.
