I took the Walther PPQ and the HI-Point 9C to the range this morning. I field stripped and cleaned / lubed both pistols Sunday night. I brought white box Whinchester 100 value pack and Blazer brass ammo. I started with the Hi-Point first. I bought this gun used. I noticed after loading the mag with ammo, the nose of the bullets pointed downward. I pushed the top bullet down alittle and the nose pointed upward. I put the mag in the pistol, racked the slide and fired the first round. The spent case was ejected, but the second round did not load because it was pointing downward. I dropped the mag, removed the rest of the 9 rounds and loaded only 5. The nose pointed up. Racked the slide, fired the round, spent case ejected, but did not pick up the second round due to the nose pointing downward. Ok, so the mag is having an issue.Changed to mag #2 and to Blazer ammo, loaded 5 round of ammo and the same issue, would not load the second round due to the nose pointing down. Ok, enough of the hi-point, i'll work on that later. And the sight were off, shooting way low. Previous owner must have jacked with the sights. Now the PPQ is just AWESOME. Ran flawless with either ammo. I will have to get used to the "quick reset" trigger. This is very different then my Browning High Power. With the PPQ, I was still releasing the trigger completely ( full travel forward). I was able to fire off a few rounds without complete letting the trigger travel all the forward ( all High Power like) but I will have to get the muscle memory with this new pistol. I noticed I was shooting a little low and left. I did not bring any tools with me, or I would have tried the two other backstraps included with the PPQ. I think I am going to like the PPQ, just need more range time with it.
