Walther,
Please pick one mag release and one magazine for the 45 PPQ and stick with it.

Walther...They lost my business with the PPQ M1/M2 business, I learned my lesson with them.

Ok so a few people here want the paddle mag release. I would bet that the majority of the public that would consider buying a 45 caliber PPQ do NOT want that.
HK is really the only other popular pistol maker that offers this style of mag release. All other popular brands are push button. Deal with it. The rest of us run them without complaint.
If the 45 PPQ has the ergonomics anywhere near what the 9mm PPQ has, it stands the chance of being a winner IF they do not screw up the roll out with 2 types of mag releases and mags that don't work in both.
Walther...please don't screw this up.

I never understood why Walther cannot make a magazine that would work with both releases.

Then they change their mind about 3 weeks later.. I guess listening to the bubble-gum chewers over at the Walther forums really wasn't a good business model after all. Frankly, If I want a striker-fired .45, I'll wait until HK comes out with one, No drama and it'll likely work, and have compatible mags with one of Hk's other .45's... Like it or not, Walther's screw up with the M1/M2 cost them the trust of a lot of their customers, myself included. At this point, you couldn't give me a PPQ.45...

This has been my thought as well. I have not handled either the M1 or M2 in detail other than at shows and the store. But it would have been my first thought when Walther began to want to change the release. "We want the same gun with a button release, lets mod the current mag so it can be used with both!" Maybe I am just using too damn much common sense.

I'll take a 45, to go with my 9mm PPQ M2, I love that pistol and I would really like a 45 version, especially if the size increase is negligible.

Every report I've seen from those that have gotten hands on have indicated such.

My brother in-law has the M2, I have the M1. It wouldn't be difficult to have both magazine catches on a "universal" PPQ mag.

I also don't get why Walther cannot make a mag that works on both M1 and M2 PPQs. Does not make sense.
Other than the mag silliness...hasn't the M2 PPQ been a pretty good pistol? I really don't see many complaints around here about jamming, inaccuracy or brass to the face.
From what I can find...after the mag bally-hoo...the PPQ M2 seems to be a solid performer with very few problems if any at all.
