    My First .40 S&W

    Look at what I scored yesterday.... FTF 500 bucks at a parking lot in a near by town. I love gunlistings.org!


    Made in 2009 a Walther PPS! I love it so far and only put two mags through it. Yes that is a clip draw on it. He also threw in custom made holster in the deal. If anyone wants pictures of it I'll get some.

    I was debating between this and a 96A1 Beretta. I chose this since I like to carry often and wanted a modern and powerful weapon that was light.

      Very nice Walther PPS, they are interesting side arms. I do not have any first hand dealings with them and must admit am somewhat confused about there trigger system, dont they have different settings or two different types of triggers.
      Im a warmonger baby, I got blood in my eyes and I'm looking at you.

                Yeah I like it out here as a former California resident. You can live in Missouri too! just do what I did. Go into the Air Force and hope you get stationed here lol... I completely lucked out... Sure the weather sucks but its a trade off for everything else.

                I know you guys have to deal with the roster and that sucks. This is a great gun to carry and shoot. I am very happy with my purchase and have to get used to the .40S&W I have only had 9mm and below.

                  If you can by a handgun in a FTF parking lot cash transaction in that state then...

                  ....there must be mass shooting sprees happening on a daily basis over there

                  JK, it must be nice to live in a free state Oh, and nice gun!

                    That's a sweet deal, I'm looking at a a Walther p22 for my next purchase and I can't wait! Try the trick I used for stepping up to .40 S&W, rent a .45, shoot 50 rounds, then admire how the .40 feels like a 9mm in a compact gun(like my LC9).

                            I just got a walthers p22 and its a fun little gun. I don`t know if it just mine or if they are all like this but my p22 hate hate hates lead nose bullets. It won`t cycle them for nothing. Federal copper jacketed and the rememington golden bullets work alot better and cycle through but I have found that the CCI mini mags work perfect. Just thought I would share so you didn`t think your gun was a POS like I was starting to think mine was. Have fun.
