Gun review: The reliable, subcompact Walther PPQ SC (VIDEO)

By Eve Flanigan

Walther Arms presents a serious contender for both range and concealed carry use with its PPQ SC, the subcompact interpretation of its PPQ series pistols.
Features 
The PPQ SC is s a pistol that packs a big dose of desirable features into a small package. Walther designers headed straight to problem-solver mode with this one, they were serious about addressing common gripes among pistol shooters and concealed carry practitioners.
Chief among the problem-solving features of the PPQ SC is truly ergonomic design. By now, striker-fired pistol fans expect modular grips. Walther delivers, providing an “average” backstrap as well as a thicker one tailored to large hands.
Just two grip choices may seem like slim pickings until one handles the pistol. A short distance from the top of the grip to the trigger make for an easy reach for most.

Even more impressive is the very easy-to-reach, easily operated magazine release. Walther took a chance with its fan base in departing from the company’s classic paddle release. In my opinion, the more traditional button mag release is a win, as it’s easier to use than most
