anyone fondle one yet?

I am the resident Walther fan here. I have not seen or shot one yet, but like all things truly Walther(except maybe the P22) I am sure it is a nice gun.

I definitely think the PPS is a nice looking gun. I'm still in the market for a Waltehr P99 AS in .40. Only problem is when I went in to pick on up last week, I ended up walking out with another 1911. :/

I used to have a walther ppk/s I didn't really like it. The slide would score the webbing between my thumb and index finger.

The bersa knock off is much better imo, it's slightly larger.


edit: I guess we are talking about modern walthers... so nevermind

 

[Adler]

Yeah the PPS and PPK/S are totally different.

The old PPK/S did bite some peoples hands, and the new ones by S&W are re-designed to avoid this. However they are not as reliable with certain types of ammo.

I am in the process of negotiating the purchase of a PPS with the powers that be (My Wife, who is FAR better at finances than I). I have had the joy of fondling one. Sexy, sexy, sexy gun.

followed up by the .40?

 

[Ex-MA Hole]

You are correct-

9mm now, .40 due after the first of the year...

Doh' I was talking about a 9mm PPK

 

[Adler]

Tons of 9mm PPK guns out there, they are just 9mm Kurtz, or in Americanese the .380ACP

Yeah, not really interested in a .380ACP. But the lines of the PPK are pure sex.

 

[Adler]

I always thought that the full size PP was better looking. Much more flowing in design.

Also, Kittery Trading Post in Maine has the .40 "in the system"

 

[ShartMaster]

Still waiting on that damn 40 pps to come out

 

[Ex-MA Hole]

I received a PPS in 9mm about two weeks ago, still nothing on the .40 version.

I just read a write up on the 9mm version in Guns & Ammo not too long ago. My interest has been piqued on this particular piece since I first saw it on the Walther website months ago. It's a definite candidate to be my summer carry.
