PPQ M2... and small rifle primers?

Don't know about your PPQ M2 but I use them with my S&W 686 revolver simply because that is what I had. No problems with my revolver at all.

It'll vary based on brand of primer. Some are easier to set off than others. If you can find them try it and see how they work.

They should work. I use them with all my 9mm guns. That's including CZs with light hammer springs.

Is there a difference in physical dimensions? Do I recall the rifle ones being marginally higher?

Small rifle primers seem to be the same size as small pistol. Now from what I have heard large rifle primers are taller than large pistol primers. I have used at least a thousand of small rifle primers in 9mm handgun loads.

Assuming I can find small primers of any variety...

Is the stock spring in the PPQ M2 strong enough to ignite a small rifle primer?

Thanks!

Here is a good video on different primers used with testing data, very informative.

I have loaded them for; S&W M&P Shield EZ (internal hammer), 686, Sig, P225,226,229,365XL, Max Michele, CZ Shadow2, 75b Omega, Kimber 1911,All 9mm. Tested each load in each pistol over the course of a couple of months last fall . Not one failure to ignite in any gun. Go for it.
