This PPQ M1 Classic is German-made and German-proofed, showing DE markings, the Ulm antler, and the eagle/N nitro proof, along with the BC date code for 2012. The slide is import-marked SMITH & WESSON SPRINGFIELD, MA, and the model is marked PPQ 9x19 USA. Factory identifiers include SKU WAP00Q90 on the case label and mfg part number 2776472.
Controls and ergonomics follow the M1 pattern, with the paddle-style ambidextrous magazine release integrated into the trigger guard and slide stop levers on both sides. The Quick Defense trigger provides a short, tactile reset. Safety features include a trigger safety and Walther's internal 3 Auto safety system.
The polymer frame is paired with a steel slide and barrel, both Tenifer treated. A 3-slot accessory rail on the dust cover supports light or laser attachment, and slide serrations aid manipulation. The grip is textured and ships with interchangeable backstraps to fine-tune fit.
Sight picture is straightforward with 3-dot iron sights: a single-dot front and two-dot rear. The 4 inch barrel and full-size configuration deliver a balanced profile, and the pistol feeds from 15-round factory steel magazines for a 15+1 capacity.
