Nice little video demoing the new trigger. Wow! Short takeup and ~3lb break according to the guy in the video. And very short reset.

Pricing and availability TBA

 

Im curious to see how the drop safety works. It looks like they have gone all in on their competition pistols.

 

Looks like there's a hinge at the top of the trigger. So, in principal, it would be similar to the trigger safety of the ol' P99.

 

Who's selling them....site url?

 

I’m guessing they will show up in the Walther store when they become available.

Here is what is on the PPQ Facebook Group:

Bret Vorhees : Michael Watson without releasing too many details [emoji51] it is entirely adjustable. Take-up, over-travel, weight, trigger reach. It is truly the first of its kind

Bret Vorhees: Larry Vickers himself said it is better than a tuned 1911

Bret Vorhees: It will be soon. 60ish days

Wow! Sounds very impressive.

Wow. I just posted advocating for something like this. I think this trigger will prove popular.

Walther appears to be dead serious about making a dent in the competition niche. It's great to see Walther been aggressive and innovative.

 

Maybe I’m just dumb but I can’t figure out if this still has a safety mechanism. If there is none this is DOA for competition in USPSA Carry Optics or Production, and nobody wants to shoot Limited or Open Minor.

 

Wonder if there are plans to offer this as a factory option. I’d put down cash money for an SF with this factory installed

 

I'll have to try one out when they become available.

 

Wow - that is an interesting development.

I am in for this. Presently saving for the SF PRO.

Take Care

More new accessories coming from Walther:

- Trigger spring kit
- Extended mag release
- Magwells and +2 basepads as seen on the SF Pro, apparently in Blue or Black aluminum and another made of steel.


Really exciting to see these types of products coming from Walther. Looks like they really are going all in on the competition market and the PPQ line in general.

 

About time! Hope to get those trigger kits real soon...

 

Anyone know when we can buy that dam trigger?

 

Walther is saying 60ish days.

 

Is it only in blue? A grey would be ideal but I would like to ditch the blue if possible

 

Red trigger and base pads for me!

 

Another interesting development, in this Instagram post (not from Walther’s account) they have a picture of the accessories I listed earlier, but at the top it says “Q4/Q5 Steel Frame”

So Q4 Tac SF next? Fingers crossed!

 

Now if they could just sell diff. slides for PPQ's at a "reasonable" price for real modularity and a .22 upper....they would be cooking w gas.

 

Somewhere in the back of my head, I can just picture Steve Martin jumping up and down exclaiming, "The new trigger is here! - The new trigger is here!".

 

I’ll be watching this closely! Can’t wait to play with the Q5 accessories

 

Triggers and more

They seem to be advertising the triggers and a complete drop in on the European Walther site. Still no way to purchase though.

Also mentions specifically the SF...I hope they will also work for the polymer.

Btw: if anyone knows where to purchase now, please share!

Rather odd description for something titled as "drop-in". The variants description seems to clearly indicate the parts are the same for all PPQs.

The installation is carried out by the Walther Master Shop in Ulm and includes an optimization of the sear engagement.

Would love to buy walther branded mag extensions and magwell for my polymer PPQ Q5.

 

I read somewhere that this trigger won’t be available in North America because of some ATF rule?
I don’t recall the reasoning, as no specifics why were given to remember, but it’s the internet so...

 

The picture shows a trigger bar assembly, numerous shoes and most important a complete sear assembly....Hence the need to state 'The installation is carried out by the Walther Master Shop in Ulm and includes an optimization of the sear engagement'.

The amount of sear engagement is directly related to creep....more sear engagement means more creep, while less sear engagement means less creep.

Its to be noted that adjusting the sear engagement to reduce creep to the point that there's virtually NO creep, means you've got a pistol with minimum sear engagement. Meaning a gnat could fly by and fart, and the vibration could jar the sear off and release the striker.

This would be one of the reasons this trigger system needs to be installed, adjusted and optimized by a qualified gunsmith. Or, and I go out on a limb, someone that fully understands the mechanical operation/function of the trigger assembly.

 

I'm tempted to get the new SF but not with this trigger. I'll wait for Apex to come out with their "safe" straight face version. That might be a while but ,IMO, will be worth the wait. If I was a MD and this gun showed up with this Expert trigger (no trigger safety and a gnat could send off a round), I'd ask the shooter to use a backup gun. IMHO, it's not safe. I like the concept; it's just missing one very important element.

 

When I said a gnat could drop the striker, that's ONLY if the trigger mechanism is NOT set up correctly. If installed and adjuisted/optimized by a certified installer, then a farting gnat won't be a problem.

This trigger is NOT designed to be used in a self/home defense pistol. Its for target shooting or IDPA, etc.

I'd love to have one of these triggers to run in my PPQ 5" target pistols....if I did IDPA, I'd be okay with that too. Just not in my HD/SD pistols.

 

Glad you clarified that previous post...I was gonna jump you over it. 1917

 

I'd like to see Apex come through with a version of their trigger that works with the SF.
