School me on the PPX

[t-squared]

A certain online store that rhymes with spuds has them on sale for what seems like a good price. Any opinions on them?


Walther Arms 2790025 PPX M1 9mm 4" Blk 16+1 Blk Poly Grips $345.00 SHIPS FREE

That's a HECK of a deal. Buy it yesterday! Seriously.

(And I stopped caring about Walther guns since I sold off my 2nd P99...)

But $345 for a new gun is fantastic.

-J-

Their warranty sucks, I'll never buy or recommend a Walther again.

 

[IndyGlockMan]

They can't hardly give these behemoth guns away.
Very large gun for no apparent reason.
Get a PPQ. You won't regret it.

 

[USMC-Johnson]

I would tend to agree. PPQ is just a better plat form.

Save your pennies and buy a PPQ. The PPX is a grotesque, uncarryable, anchor of a gun.

Yes go with a PPQ instead or their new CCP. I fondled it at the NRA show...very nice! Might be on my list in the near future.

Thanks a bunch for the responses...

I was on my way tomorrow to pick up a PPK, but after reading the messages above....I'm thinking about it now. PPQ maybe??? I actually liked the way the PPK felt in my hand.

Just got back from shooting are new PPQ and let me tell you its amazing highly recommend it!

 

[USMC-Johnson]

PPK ay be a little more dated but it does have a very good trigger. if it fits in your hand go for it.

Totally different guns. The PPK is a classic, clean styled, metal, simple blowback, DA/SA with thumb safety, enjoys eating the web of your hand between thumb and forefinger (Walther Slide Bite) pistol. The PPQ is a modern polymer, ugly, ergonomical, striker fired pistol.

I like the idea of the PPK. I don't actually like shooting one. My hands don't fit it that well, and slide bite. The PPQ would be on my short list if I was looking for a carry striker fired gun.

I'd save up and buy the PPQ if you want a Walther. The PPX is a massive heavy piece of gun. It has a nice trigger, but the PPQ has a great trigger also. Also, their is a decent aftermarket support for the Walther PPQ now. Not so much for the PPX that I am aware of.

Hickock45 seemed to like it. When I held it the slide felt massive and unbalanced. There are better options in that price range - Ruger SR series, used Glock or M&P.
