Walther PPS

Paramedics are super to work with. I've had a lot of experience with them in the field in my mental health work for Washington County and as a crisis response worker for Multnomah County Aging Services. And I think you'll like the holster. Very well made and well thought out.

I did not know much about the Walther product lineup until recently. I did know the PPX was their cheapest no frills gun they had and I saw one at a hard to pass up price of 279 ($295 shipped) so I got one for the Warden for Christmas (along with a Kahr CW380) I expected her to be all giddy over the Kahr but no, once she picked up the PPX she was in love with it. Now I decided to get a .40 in a pistol as I did not have one, I wanted a M&P Pro but the were nearly twice the price of a PPX, so mine is now in route. I am satisfied with my current carry options or I would look at a PPS.

The PPS is an awesome choice. I haven't had the opportunity to check out a PPX. I'm glad you like it, Walther makes some great guns.

I just added a P99 AS 9mm. It's just an amazing weapon that essentially is a DA/SA striker fired pistol complete with decocker. The trigger is exceptional both in DA and SA mode. I had a PPQ but disliked the fully cocked striker combined with a super light trigger. It was a great gun, too, but the P99 is equally amazing. Super, super firearms.

I have the same exact gun. I love the trigger, but I am only allowed to have 3 guns at this time, so... I am selling it to be replaced by the Sig Sauer P239. I like being able to carry all my guns and to me the P99 is too large. I know they make one in compact, so maybe I will end up with one of those someday.

Actually, Davidsons (www.galleryofguns.com ) has the P99 AS Compacts available (8 of them left anyway) for about $618.00 delivered (WA price, including tax/background check/fees). They have 10+1 capacity instead of 15+1 with the full size and a 3.5" barrel vs the 4" on the full sized version. I opted for the full size since I carry the PPS almost all the time. This was more for range/home defense/whatever. Can't go wrong with a P239, though. Good luck.

There are lots of people on the Walther forum that love and carry the P99c, it must be good to carry that instead of the PPS.

The PPS is .9" thin versus 1.3" for the P99C. It just fits my body better for concealed carry and is still an amazingly ergonomic and accurate pistol. I carry it with a 7-round mag with an 8 round mag as a backup. The P99C has a 10+1 capacity, so it wins out, but all in all the PPS works better for me. They're both great guns, so I certainly wouldn't try to argue someone out of carrying the P99C or even the full sized P99 (which I have) if it works for them. In fact, I have a holster on the way for the P99 and I'm sure I'll try carrying it some while the cold weather holds out. Just super firearms all around IMHO.
