Overall excellent quality
Started off w/ PPQ M2 (no longer made) & loved it. Got the Q5 model and it's become my EDC. I've had it for 4 years, put around 3000 rds through it. I only clean it about every 750 rds, still reliable every single trigger pull. It reliably hits 8" round targets from 200' away, if you have great pistol marksmanship (proper grip technique/trigger pull, angle of wrist and elbow). I shoot in all weather conditions & dusty environments. Trigger guard accommodates gloves easily for cold weather. Lightweight trigger allows for fast continuous firing with less fatigue of trigger finger. Ported barrel keeps recoil at slightly less than 3/4 of standard recoil for 9mm (angle of recoil typically inverts barrel end to almost 90° angle, the PPQ Q5 inverts the barrel to about 60°) allowing for rapid return of aim in a natural way with little to no adjustment of hand/wrist posturing. Last year i bought a 2nd PPQ Q5 because of the quality.
