Federal Holsterworks Holster for Walther PPQ M1 & M2 9mm with 4" Barrel and Laser Attachment on The Gun

I didn't buy this for an actual carry holster, but it could absolutely be used for that purpose. The belt clip had to go immediately, but put you belt through the loop directly, and you'll have a carry holster. The mag pouch is very secure as well.The value is what's undeniable, and I am very happy that I grabbed this holster.

After comparing the xd9 Sub. to the Walther PPQ at handgunhero dot com I decided to take a chance that the xd9 with 3" barrel and flashlight that protrudes 3/4" past muzzle is about the same length and shape as the Walther PPQ with 4" barrel and laser.The fit is so good you would swear it was made for the xd 9 Sub with light. The light contacts the bottom of the holster just as the rear sight makes contact. The velcro allows mounting the thumb break on the slide which is a must to allow a rapid, "high hand" grip and unobstructed draw.It seems well made but I docked one star because the belt loop on right side is sewn on noticeably crooked compared to the left loop. This seems in error but might actually be ok because it gives the gun a slight forward lean should I use the clip on the outside in a IWB behind the hip manner.I think the manufacturer is on the right track but should consider more adjustability like a tuckable mounting tab and a zipper or velcro closure at the bottom so we just have to choose a small medium or large and then can adjust it for fit with a laser or light and OWB, IWB carry option.

I purchased this holster to just use at the range with my Walther PPX and PPQ M2. The good news is that both guns (both new models as of this writing, for which holsters are difficult to find) fit the holster well and it allows me to holster the pistol while loading magazines or taping targets, etc.However, the holster is a bit flimsy. I removed the two straps that provide the thumb-break retention, and am considering putting them back on (easy to do - they just use Velcro) for better stability and confidence. The metal clip that is provided does not hold the holster tightly to your belt, allowing it to flop. I found much better success looping my belt through the provided belt loop, but even then it tends to be slightly top-heavy.I know three stars seems dreadful, but it's really not meant to be. I can't in good conscience give the holster any higher rating, but for the price - and if used for limited purpose - it's a good little holster.The holster is truly ambidextrous, with a loop on either side. The metal clip can be used on either side also. The front of the holster has a small exterior pouch, wedge-shaped, that could be used to store a magazine (a small-ish one), a knife, or small flashlight. There is a Velcro strap that can be used to secure that storage pouch and help prevent its contents from spilling out.In summary - I recommend this holster for the Walther PPQ/PPX for range use only. I don't feel I would trust it as a true carry holster. But for its use, it works nice and is inexpensive. A decent deal.

Excellent sizing, very good fit and finish. Remarkably stiff and resilient for a ballistic cloth holster. I removed the clip and just wear it as a belt slide. With a Walther PPQ .45 and an ArmaLaser GTO/FLX, the rig rides nice and close to my side; doesn't print badly at all, even with just a light shirt over top. It gets on toward bulky with a spare mag stuffed in front though - I still prefer a single holder on my off hand side. I like the over the blackstrap retention and si glen snap release, too - Nice hefty hardware.

Fits my PPQ 22 with the Crimson trace railmaster perfectly. The belt clip however is a joke. The clip is only about 1 and 1/2" wide and is mounted in the wrong position on the holster. The position of the belt clip causes the upper 2/3rd of the gun to flop around. The last flaw in its design is the nylon webbing thumb brake. It's bad enough that they only used 3/4 inch wide webbing they also used the cheapest snaps available on the planet! So overall this holster makes a great pouch for protecting my beloved Walther PPQ but it falls short of actually being able to be used as a OWB holster. I had to modify it to make it useful. I replaced the belt clip with a wider one and reattached it higher up on the holster making it much more stable. I also eliminated the thumb brake and used a single 1" piece of nylon webbing to secure the pistol in place using the original velcro attachment points. It is obviously not a quick draw set up! That's not it's function anyway.

I have a Walther PPQ M2 .22LR (same dimensions as the 9MM) and this fits perfect with my attached Crimson Trace Laser. The metal belt clip is useless but using it on my belt holds it securely for carry. The belt loop is configured for a 2" belt but with a little sewing to close the gap, it now fits with my 1.5" belt. It also holds my PPQ securely without using the straps too.

for the price is a good product the belt clip could be improved some what

The holster is too tight for my 9mm PPQ M2 Navy (threaded barrel) with a Streamlight TLR-4 laser light combo attached. Ok as a casual holster without the laser/light attached. I like the magazine pouch.
