Thought I would comment due to a little experience with both. I own both the PPX and PPQ 5" longslide. As I would say the PPQ is in a whole different league, the PPX is nothing to sideline. Both have every thing you would want. The PPX, I find, has a little more felt recoil and the trigger is not as good as the PPQ but is better than most pistols I've shot. Accuracy is not a problem with either but I do shoot tighter groups with the PPQ. The best part of the PPX is the price point with the kit. Holster is great, mag pouch fits perfectly, and who doesn't want more mags. I'm actually in the proccess of moving back to Winnipeg and can't wait to turn some heads at the range. These pieces always start conversation.
