Though most of the shooting world is turning to polymer-frame guns, there are advantages to having a steel-frame gun, particularly in a competition environment. Steel weighs the gun down, allowing shooters to better-control recoil and muzzle rise, and the all-metal construction allows for more-consistent performance from the gun, since there's less flexing from the frame. Walther Arms provides these benefits to competitors in the form of the company's new Q5 Match SF pistol.
