Walther PPQ – Next Generation M2 Series
Walther announced an upgrade to the PPQ pistol for 2013. Called the PPQ M2, the updated gun features interchangeable back straps on a polymer frame, is striker-fired and will be available in both 9mm and .40 S&W. The new PPQ will also feature a reversible magazine release in the traditional push-button form.
The trigger is “pre-cocked,” which Walther states gives a light (5.6 pounds on average) and crisp trigger pull. Barrel length is four inches.
The gun has a Picatinny rail for adding a white light. It also has a loaded chamber indicator, front and rear slide serrations and an oversized slide stop.
MSRP on the Walther PPQ M2 runs from $599 to $699 depending on sight options. The guns come standard with adjustable three-dot sights. For extra money, a shooter can buy metal sights with a self-illuminating three-dot configuration, or a three-dot tritium sight set.

walther ppqm2 has caught my interest. at 545 on gungenie here.
Your acrticle could of been quick and sweet. as you stated in your article it was going to be an update, but you mentioned pretty much everything that the m1 had except the real update was the push button mag release. Which in my unprofessional opinion was nothing more than a downgrade.
