To which you gave the wrong answer. It is a drilled barrel with integral suppressor and therefore doesn’t require a seperate moderator slot.

Ok, I hope you’re right and if so I’ve learnt something new today.
My advice was simply to check if unsure.

Good news and that makes sense.
So the big question before I buy one, are they any good, anybody got one?

Seems to be a few places advertising them but no one has appeared with one yet...

I had a deposit on one since they announced them, but I pulled out in January.
The ones they wound up being sent by Walther had a 5" slide rather than the 4" one that the standard PPQ, and their demo model had. I didn't particularly like that longer slide although it would give a longer site base. I still reckon they would be a cracking option for the UK LBP market and it is nice to see a company like Oceana Defence taking UK ideas to mainstream markets. I just personally didn't like the end result :(

The longer slide appeals to me, that means only 7" of fake can sticking out the front.

You more of a Buckmark style man? Maybe the VQ or Ruger?

Well my variation has been approved so it’s one of these or a k22 x trim.
I’ve shot the k22 and liked it, plus my local shop has them in, tried and tested so I guess that’s the front runner.

For the sake of waiting another month I’d wait to find out, sounds like there is a few lbps on the go at the moment. IF any of them materialise it’s worth the wait I would have thought
