If you need religion to have good morals then you don't actually have good morals.
If i’m going to get one...which I’m now pretty sure I will ...think i’ll wait for the Pro model as well.
For the last few years i’ve shot the polymer PPQ 5” in 3 Gun matches because i like the gun and it’s so light on a fully loaded belt. But have reluctantly decided it’s just too light and I shoot way better with a heavier steel frame gun - like the Shadow 2 - which I shoot in IPSC. So this year I plan to start shooting my S2 in 3 Gun and IPSC.
But I do prefer a striker fire HG in 3 Gun, because I can just dump it and go without having to engage a dedicated safety. And this new 42 oz steel frame PPQ Match seems ideally suited for 3 Gun, especially the Pro version with the flared magwell, which was my other gripe with my polymer PPQ. A heavier SF PPQ Match with a 5” barrel and flared magwell seems ideally suited for 3G matches...which I guess Walther figured out.
Now that i’ve convinced myself I ‘need’ the SF Pro version, wish Walther would hurry up and get them in stores up here ASAP
"For me, the action is the juice."
Not untrue, but not an absolute truth. Production optics is still provisional - but will likely be here to stay. As far as I can see there will be no Production Light - only “PO Light” - and clubs can exclude divisions during a match. IPSC AB has a match scheduled for next Sunday with no PCC included. (Or production light)
So yes, $500-$700 plastic guns will still be competing against steel frames, including the Stock III extremes, PPQ Match/SF, and Shadow 2 Orange
"Don't confuse effort with results."
Yes that seems to be correct at this time although there has been plenty of discussion regarding production light as well. My only interest is P.O. so the other does not apply to me. My opinion is that production light will eventually be included if there is enough interest and enough guns to split the division. Interesting times.
