Cel mai bun pistol anti-război ACP / 45 (Walther PPQ 45 SD with Threaded Suppressor Barrel: Best Suppressed .45 ACP Combat/Tactical Pistol Out of the Box?)

Spre deosebire de pistoalele Walther PPQ și PPQ M2 de 9 mm, care necesită un arc diferit pentru utilizare suprimată și nefolosită, pistolul PPQ 45 SD poate utiliza același arc de recul pentru ambele, conform testelor lui Walther. Directorul de marketing Walther USA, Luke Thorkildsen, spune că PPQ 45 este „unul dintre cei mai puțini dintre cei 45 de ani care au fost acolo” și îl credem pentru că l-am împușcat.

Walther PPQ 45 SD with Threaded Suppressor Barrel: Best Suppressed .45 ACP Combat/Tactical Pistol Out of the Box? (Video!)

Posted by: David Crane March 13, 2018

Last, but certainly not least among the latest Walther Arms pistols shown at SHOT Show 2018 (like the Walther PPQ M2 SC Sub-Compact and Walther PPS M2 SC with Shield RMSc) , DefenseReview (DR) got to view and handle the Walther PPQ 45 SD suppressed .45 ACP combat/tactical pistol with a .578×28 threaded suppressor barrel (4.875″). Unlike the Walther PPQ and PPQ M2 9mm pistols, which require different spring for suppressed and unsuppressed use, the PPQ 45 SD pistol can use the same recoil spring for both, according to Walther’s testing. Walther USA’s marketing director Luke Thorkildsen says the PPQ 45 is “one of the smoothest-shooting .45’s out there”, and we believe him, ’cause we’ve shot it.

While DR actually currently carries a Glock 19 (G19) 9mm, and is seriously considering acquiring the two new Walther 9mm pistols we’ve just covered (see article links above and below) for their out-of-the-box design and quality excellence, we’re also still big fans of the .45 ACP caliber, and the Walther PPQ 45 SDlooks like a winner, at least on paper. Ideally, however, we’d like to see a “SC” sub-compact variant of it (we believe the PPQ 45 is essentially already a compact .45, since it has a 4.25″ barrel) for concealed carry (CCW) and clandestine/covert military Special Operations Forces (SOF) applications, as the PPQ 45 SD isn’t exactly a small pistol.

Glock, of course, did something similar to this many years ago with the introduction of the Glock 30 (G30) and Glock 30S (G30S) .45 ACP compact pistols, which trimmed some size and weight off the original Glock 21 (G21).

DR assumes that Walther could use extended magazine base pads to lengthen the PPQ 45 SD’s grip, if necessary, just like they’ve done with the Walther PPQ M2 SC.

Regardless, the Walther PPQ 45 SD is a hell of a package as it stands, and Defense Review can’t wait to shoot it at the range. In the meantime, enjoy our video from Walther’s booth, below.

Walther PPS M2 Slimline, Single-Stack, Striker-Fired Sub-Compact 9mm Pistol with Shield RMSc Mini Red Dot Reflex Sight for Concealed Carry (CCW): ‘Why be Practical, when You can be Awesome?’ (Video!)

Posted by: David Crane March 7, 2018

The Walther PPQ M2 wasn’t the only Walther polymer-framed, striker-fired sub-compact 9mm (9mm Parabellum/9x19mm NATO) concealed carry (CCW) pistol DefenseReview (DR) saw and handled at the company’s booth at SHOT Show 2018. Oh, no. We also got to check out the new Walther PPS M2 slimline single-stack 9mm sub-compact pistol with a Shield RMSc Reflex Mini Sight Compact 8MOA mini red dot sight combat optic mounted on it, and it looked very good to us. In fact, know what we do about just how good the standard Walther PPS and PPS M2 pistols are out of the box–perhaps THE best in their niche (and we’re Glock guys over here)–this new Walther PPS M2 package may just prove to be the best little out-of-the-box single-stack CCW pistol ever, assuming the Shield RMSC proves to be a rock-solid/durable little mini red dot sight, of course.

We’re not kidding. US Navy DEVGRU (Seal Team Six) chose the Walther PPS pistol as a concealed carry gun years ago for a reason. It’s slim and compact, it’s accurate, it’s reliable and durable, and it’s trigger action is very good. It’s a winner. While DR’s a fan of the Glock 43 (G43), particularly the Nous Defions Arsenal Democracy AD customized G43’s we’ve handled, if we had to choose a sub-compact single-stack pistol right out of the box, we’d currently take the Walther PPS or Walther PPS M2 over EVERYTHING else out there. Easy decision. It’s THAT good.

The Shield RMSc Reflex Mini Sight Compact 8MOA just takes the Walther PPS M2 to the next level? But how did it happen? We’ll let Walther’s Marketing VP Luke Thorkildsen tell it:

Yeah, so, a few months back, we learned about this new Shield RMSc that just was announced publicly a couple weeks before SHOT Show, and we said we have got to combine that with the PPS M2. They’re both so tiny…we’re becoming becoming more and more fans of carry optics and slide-mounted pistol optics. So, when we saw this, we were like ‘Man, this is a perfect marriage.’ And, it’s not practical, necessarily, but I like to say ‘Why be practical, when you can be awesome.’

Well, DR thinks the Shield RMSc IS practical, and we might even be inclined to integrate a red or green laser sight module to the gun. Every shot really counts at close-range self-defense distances, especially when you only have 9 rounds in the gun, at most. Laser sights can sometimes even potentially psychologically deter an attacker, eliminating the need to shoot him/her.

The new Shield RMSc’s red dot can of course be co-witnessed with the factory iron sights. You have the option of a flush-fighting 6-round mag (magazine), or 7-round or 8-round extended mags, which is how DR would go.

Assuming the Shield RMSc proves to work as advertised under hard use and high round count, Defense Review really digs this little 9mm sub-compact pistol package.

Condor Elite Prototype FLASH Carrier Plate Tactical Armor Ultra-Ușor(Condor Elite Prototype FLASH Ultra-Lightweight Tactical Armor Plate Carrier)

În acest an, DR a obținut o primă privire la un prototip Condor Elite FLASH purtător de placă, pușcă și pistol mag ) pungi și pungi de accesorii combinate / tactice, realizate dintr-un material ultra-ușor pe care omul dvs. corespondent umil (pe care l-aș fi eu) le-a numit în mod extemperativ.Dar materialul FLASH nu este singurul aspect impresionant al sistemului. Prototipul purtătorului de plăci Condor Elite FLASH, pungile magice și pungile tactice de accesorii, toate arătau bine proiectate și construite. Suportul plăcii este foarte bine gândit și încorporează găuri de montare triunghiulare tăiate cu laser, care reprezintă cea mai recentă înlocuire / îmbunătățire pe MOLLE / PALS.

Condor Elite Prototype FLASH Ultra-Lightweight Tactical Armor Plate Carrier, Mag (Magazine) Pouches and Tactical Accessory Pouches: Lightweight Combat/Tactical Design Taken to the Next Level!

Posted by: David Crane March 1, 2018

Last year, DefenseReview (DR) reported on the Condor Elite VAS (Vanquish Armor System) Plate Carrier from SHOT Show 2017. Well, this year, DR got a first look at a prototype Condor Elite FLASH plate carrier, rifle and pistol mag (magazine) pouches and combat/tactical accessory pouches made from an ultra-lightweight material that your humble correspondent (that would be me) extemperaneously named for them.

Basically, as our friend Chris Dunn of Covered 6 (also written “Covered Six“) and Condor Elite was showing us the new prototype (FLASH) system material, he explained that they didn’t have a name for the material, plate carrier, mag pouches, etc. yet, and then handed me a mag pouch. Upon receiving it, I immediately remarked something to the effect of “Wow, this is f*ckin’ light as sh*t,” to which Dunn replied something akin to, “That’s it! That’s what we’ll call it, “F-L-A-S”. Then we both discussed it, added the “H” from our last word, and named it “FLASH”, ’cause, um, well, that just works better.

So, the “FLASH” system was born, and DR strikes again. We think it’s a great name. It’s bold, it’s catchy, it’s active, it works.

But the FLASH material itself isn’t the only impressive aspect of the system. The prototype Condor Elite FLASH plate carrier, mag pouches and tactical accessory pouches all looked well designed and constructed. The plate carrier looks very well thought-out, and incorporates laser-cut triangular mounting holes that are the latest replacement for/improvement on MOLLE/PALS.

Remember, as you’re looking at the photos and watching the video below, everything you’re seeing is a developmental prototype, NOT a finished, production product.

Anyway, check out Defense Review’s accompanying photos and video below to get all the details.
