Went with the PPS

[knox]

Wasn't looking for one so soon, but Academy Sports had the Walther PPS in stock.  

 

As I was pondering my decision (which took about 30 minutes walking around the store and weighing pros and cons) it hit me.  I doubt I will find a Shield within the next few months.  And as it stands, my Glock 19 spends most of its time in my bedside table because it is so thick.  Better to have my second place gun with me, than none at all.    

 

In addition, this is a BB coded date stamp, so it is the updated PPS.

 

It feels a lot different than my Glock.  Much tighter and makes more clicking noises when I rack the slide (the Glock is butter smooth).  But I noticed those clicks on other guns on Youtube, so I am not worried about it.  

 

Hope to make it to the range tomorrow to start breaking it in.  Man, this thing was covered in cosmoline!

 

Here it is.  I think it's a very nice looking firearm.  I just hope I don't run across a Shield anytime soon, because I will snatch it up as well.

I think that will be my next buy and future carry gun. Let us know how you like it.

[knox]

You got it.

You won't regret it. I bought one a couple of years ago to make holsters with and planned to sell it as soon as a dummy gun was available. I liked it so much I've kept it and it has become one of my regular carry guns. It will smooth out with some use. Nice choice!

Thank you for the vote of confidence.  It certainly does feel nice and solid.  I hope to put about 100 down the range tomorrow.

Nice score.   Is that the 9 or the 40?

[knox]

It's the 9
