Does going to the smaller diameter .40 S&W case increase the capacity of the en-bloc clip from 8 to 10 rounds?

I admit it took me longer than it should have to realize he was talking about a PPQ Classic.

My bad, PPQ Classic or PPQ M1 with the paddle mag release. What I get for thinking context of the title correlates with the firearm I was referring too...

I think your post was fine. It betrays my own bias more than anything.

No worries, I got a laugh out of it. It shows that sometimes if you remove context, the meaning changes drastically.

I own some of the PPQ M1s and a PPQ 5" M2 model. They did indeed have the best out of the box trigger on a production striker fired pistol and the CZ P10C did not best it (IMHO) at least on the ONE sample I tried (they are very hard to find - we have still not had one come through the store). As of now though, I believe that the Canik TP9 series of pistols have the best out of the box trigger on a production striker fired pistol (TP9SFX, TP9SF, TP9SA, TP9SF Elite) even besting the PPQ in my opinion.
I've handled multiple new production PPQ M2s, Q5s, HK VP9s, FN509s, and the new M&P 2.0s and the Caniks still beat them.
But the PPQ is still great, and it does have the Walther mystique. More ergonomic grip, smoother and sleeker lines but you pay $200-$300 extra for that mystique compared to what Canik offers.

Does the range have PPQ M2 available for rent? I'd like to shoot it some more. I think the triggers on my M&P 2.0's are great, but there was something about that PPQ.

I think the HK VP9 has a better trigger than PPQ. Better because it feels just a tad lighter pull than the PPQ. The ergonomics are both about the same.

I wanted to keep an eye out for the Walther 45 that I heard about. Just want to see how it feels in the hand.

Unfortunately, we don't. I have tried to get one unsuccessfully. We have the PPS M2 (currently being repaired), and the Walther Creed.
If you want to contact me ahead of time and coordinate our schedules, I'll let you shoot one of mine. I can make it a M1 or a M2

Have one at the store for sale, but not for rent if you want to just see how it feels. They are great.
