Walther Creed

Apollo's brother?

I guess it is essentially the PPX.

BUT..., the MSRP is $399. Does the mean the street price is going to be down in the SD9VE range?

If the trigger is as good as the PPX, it will be a good gun. I'm curious to see street prices as well. At times you can get a PPX for $249 from Rural King when it's on sale plus rebate card.

These are the same pistols the Astronauts carried on the Moon, the official name of those were the Apollo Creeds.

wow was this an easy thread to kill.

I made fun of the Walther PPX because it reminded me of a hipoint. But the gun handles and shoots good! The Creed appears to have PPQ styling and PPS sights. Guessing a steet price under $350. Might be worth looking at. There is a definate need for reliable guidance an in the $300-$400 price range as this is where new gun buyers seem to flock.

I am a big Walther P99, PPS, PPQ fan. Other Walthers not so much. Maybe this one will change my mind.

I love the Walthers. Best feeling and shooting gun out there. I have the P99as. It's pretty awesome.

"PPX" is German for "HiPoint."

When Rural Kings sells Creeds for $250 or less, I might give them a go. They use the same mags as the PPX (which were $20 at CDNN).

Apollo Creed. That's funny. I wonder where I heard it before?

Oh that's right, in the original post!

I wonder if these are made by Umerex licensed by Walther just like the PPX was. Or am I thinking of the CCP?

I won that PPX at the Friends of NRA dinner on your advice! Your advice!

And now . . . the truth comes out. I have a Hochpunkt . . . *kicks Felsen*

Umerex owns Walther so all of the guns are made by Umerex and stamped with the Walther name. Marketing, marketing, marketing. That said Walther's duty pistols (P99, PPQ, PPS) are all pretty high quality guns. I am less then impressed with the P22, PK380 & CCP. Potmetal and plastic engineered to meet a price point.

Hah! Have you shot it yet? It's surprisingly easy to put bullets where you want them to go. I shoot a PPX accurately far more easily than I do a Glock.

 

[autogun]

Me too. I bought a PPX to shoot IDPA to prevent holster wear on 'better' guns and it turns out I shoot it better than its 'betters'.

Well it will be fun to shoot the Creed. I have a PPQ and love it!

Have been shooting the snot out of my free PPX. I want to hate this pistol, but I cannot.

It runs like a sewing machine and is nice and flat and thus easy to crank the grip down on.

Have shot over 2,500 rounds through it without cleaning. I have lubed it only (I use Singer sewing machine oil).

Nephews shot it over Christmas and it does well with teens.

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

Great. Another ugly Walther.

Jelly much? LOL I love mine. I've put over 200 rounds through it with zero problems or complaints. As a less expensive alternative to the PPQ it does it's job well.

The PPX will never get the respect it deserves. Very reliable and a nice trigger (much better than a Glock). It's easy to shoot and put the bullet where you want them. Plus mags are Glock cheap.

I fondled a Creed at Indy Arms Co today. It was very similar to the PPX (naturally), but a but less top heavy. For the bargain priced self-loaders, I think the PPX/Creed are the pick of the litter.

I handled a Creed the other day. Felt good, liked the balance and the price of course. Seems like a pretty nice piece to me.
