Don't you ever sleep?
Yes, I have a Walther Q5 Match, in fact I'll be shooting it tomorrow morning at 10am. One of the guys on my sons course got in touch for some advise on a good 9mm to buy so I'm taking a few to the range tomorrow for him to have a shot. I've selected a Glock 17, Walther Q5 Match, Berretta 92FS, Berretta APX and a CZ Orange so he can experience a broad selection of makes and price ranges. I've also packed a 22 and a 45ACP for the boy to shoot, nothing like a 1911 45 to build up the forearms of a 13yr old
The Q5 is a very nice pistol, I'd rank it as one of the best striker fired 9mm's on the market and definitely much better then the Glock 17. Keep in mind that while they are a very good pistol they are still not quite up to CZ level. I haven't shot the metal framed version, not sure if they're out yet but I'll check them out eventually.
My advise is that if you intend to do any IPSC competition and have the budget then the only choice has to be a CZ.
