The pistol, which has already been tested and found to be excellent by renowned US trade magazines (Guns & Ammo, for example, voted it “2015 Handgun of the Year”), is now also available to European 45 fans.

Despite the stronger caliber than the PPQ version in 9 mm Luger the barrel axis is not higher than the hand! The trigger guard has been slightly recessed in the area above the middle finger so that a high grip on the grip is possible. As a result, in combination with the tried and tested ergonomically shaped handle, the PPQ 45 is very comfortable to shoot even in fast series and puts significantly less pressure on the hand than pistols with a metal frame. This is particularly noticeable by shooters with small and medium-sized hands, who otherwise have problems with other pistols in .45 ACP: The grip circumference on the PPQ45 is only one millimeter larger than on the PPQ in 9 mm Luger, the distance between the blade and the back of the handle is an identical 72 millimeters. As with the 9 mm version, the circumference of the handle can be adjusted using the two interchangeable backs of the handle (M and L).

True to the M2 philosophy, the magazine button is located on the left side of the grip; for left-handers, a button for the right side is included separately with each weapon and can be easily installed. The polygon barrel, used for the first time in a PPQ, measures 108 mm (4.25 inches). The empty pistol weighs 113 grams more than its 9mm counterpart. Includes plastic case.
