    Have Walther resolved their barrel issue? It was very apparent on the PPQ 45 and is a hot topic on several Walther PPQ Forums

    It's a pretty big issue on the PPQ forums. In fact it is the top "sticky topic" on http://www.waltherforums.com/forum/ppq/ and that thread is like 32 pages. It evolved and it seems that Walther in the US (Umarex?) are now acknowledging the issue and some users are getting replacement barrels (not in Europe from what I read). It relates to the polygonal-rifled barrel and plating and the Q5 is also prone to the issue.

    You can also read about it on the Walther Reddit.

    I would like more info from North Sylvia to ensure
    1) the issue from Walther is fixed especially on these handguns slated for Canada
    2) if not and the barrel does get pitted, will we in Canada be able to get a replacement barrel (since in Europe they are not but in US they are)

    BTW people are also upset that the replacement barrel numbers no longer match the pistol.

    It's a known issue and curious as why hasn't North Sylva responded.

    Wow ! Big issue like you mention. Makes me think twice before getting it.

    Thanks !

    Still no reply from North Sylva about barrel pitting questions. Why? Not Solved?

    We spoke with a Walther USA rep at SHOT and discussed this topic. This "barrel issue" is only a visual imperfection that affected small batch of guns. It does not cause a negative affect neither on accuracy nor reliability. Simply put, there is no problem with these guns.

    The Walther PPQ is designed to be a service pistol, designed to work in the toughest environment. It's not a museum piece.

    Well that's a little disappointing...

    When buying a new firearms I would expect any OEM finish/Coating to not be defective, regardless of if the firearm was designed for combat or a museum piece. It should be every manufactures goal to ensure all customers receive the same high quality product and not say "meh good enough if it hits paper"
