Walther Introduces Q5 Match Upper Conversion Kit for the PPQ Pistol

The Walther Q5 Match pistol has continued to grow in popularity, and the company just added the Q5 Match Upper Conversion Kit to the lineup. So, if you already own a Walther PPQ, but don't want to spend the cash for a whole new pistol, you can upgrade your current gun with the Q5 Match Upper Conversion Kit.

The conversion kit works with any of the polymer 9mm PPQs with the exception of the sub-compact version. It comes ready to install with a ported and optic ready slide, a 5-inch  barrel with polygonal rifling, recoil assembly, all internal components, LPA rear sight, LPA fiber optic front sight, and even a test target showing a 5-shot group at 25 meters.

The conversion kit is available directly from Walther. For an MSRP of $599.99, you can make the upgrade to a platform that is competition ready.

Here's what Walther had to say:

FORT SMITH, AR – The rapid growth of popularity in the Walther Q5 Match series of pistols has led customers to continually ask for a conversion kit for the standard PPQ series. Walther is proud to announce the release of the Q5 Match conversion kit. 

Showcasing Walther’s modern take on practical shooting, the Q5 Match series delivers extraordinary efficiency and adaptability, which garnered its immediate distinction in the industry. This platform allows you to maximize the accuracy, power, and speed necessary to dominate the competition completely! 

A modern work of art in its own right, the slide is outfitted with features previously found only on custom handguns. It is ported and optic ready, with LPA sights as well as front and rear serrations. Walther’s superior accuracy is quickly realized when shooting thanks to the 5” barrel with polygonal rifling and stepped chamber. 

This conversion kit works with any polymer PPQ 9mm (excluding Sub-Compact) and is ready to install. Includes slide, barrel, recoil assembly, all internal components, LPA rear sight, LPA fiber optic front sight, and a test target showing a 5-shot group at 25 meters.
