The rear sight of the polymer 3-dot sight set is drift adjustable for windage.

The slide is milled with front and rear cocking serrations, a flared ejection port and fitted with an oversized extractor. The same process is used to protect the internal components. Both the barrel and the slide are treated with a corrosion and abrasion resistant matte-black Tenifer finish. Like the larger versions, this PPQ is a double-action-only, striker-fired semi-automatic with a 3.5" Browning-type tilt barrel action. Walther was careful not to throw the baby out with the bath water in the process of trimming down the PPQ into a more portable package. It seems like every time a reputable pistol manufacture releases a top notch standard or compact-size pistol suitable for personal defense, one of the first questions folks ask is when will the sub-compact version be available? Last fall, during the same Walther sponsored writer's event in which I had the opportunity to work with the PPQ M2 Q4 TAC 9 mm, we were given equal amounts of trigger time to get to know the freshly minted PPQ SC 9 mm, the long-awaited sub-compact version of the PPQ.
