Sights for IDPA pistol

[sspowr]

So I have a Walther PPQ M2 that is my IDPA gun. I'd like to switch the sights out on it.

Any suggestions on sights? And gunsmith suggestions?

I'm in the GTA area of Ontario

You don't need a gunsmith to install sights on a PPQ, super simple.

I just had my PPQ M1 done, but I'm in BC.

They are more complicated than Glocks... have a goofy spring in them, but any smith should be able to do it.

Don't know if the are available for Walther PPQ M2 but I like Warren Sevigny Competition sights with the fiber optic front sight.

What kind did you go with?

Walther night sights. Bought them (I think) from Frontier Firearms.

Trijicon has great luminated signs for PPQ, if you play IDPA, running into dark stages is possible, fiber optic isnt gonna cut it.

M1(Navy), M2 and Q5 have different rear sights.

Mine is a M1 Navy and were aftermarket Walther. They have a goofy coiled spring underneath it; it was a pain in the A$$. I'd have bought the Trijicon if I had seen them as that is a lot easier than what they showed.

The OP said he had a PPQ M2, so that's what I based my reply on.

Regardless, any sight installation can be done at home with a few basic tools. I install all my Glock sights using a padded vice, hammer, nylon punch, file, and a ground down 3/16 nut driver.

I'd contact Casey at Tactical Ordnance. He is super busy, but will not accept your firearm and leave you hanging. Everytime I have had work done, he will say bring it in around September (example) and will be done in 10 days (example) . It's usually done before the deadline.

Casey is great, I second that

If you are going to use the gun for IDPA you will want a fibre optic front sight not night sights. Some like the fibre optic tubes in the rear sight as well. Personal preference is what it comes down to. Green seems to be the colour of choice for shooting outdoors. Red I am told works better indoors. I don't shoot much indoors so cannot comment with certainty. Google is your friend and I would do a search to get an idea what is out there for sights that fit the Walther.

Take Care

Thanks to all! I think I will be going with the Truglo TFX, best of both worlds.

Now finding someone who stocks it

If you can't find them in Canada, you could always go through Irunguns!
