That's a good price for anything, especially name-brand, in both 9mm and stainless. Though I'm not familiar with this particular model, I appreciate your sharing. I might just look a little further..

EDIT: I just did do a quick look. Hammer-fired, DAO with 6.5-pound (as claimed) trigger pull, and two 16-round magazines. This is hard to beat right now, considering that it's "regular price" is probably what it would go for around here in the stores...

I bought one for $300 brand new. Not a bad deal at all for what you get in my opinion. The trigger may be 6+ lbs but it feels muuuuch lighter toward the end of the pull. It is a really good trigger, even compared to more expensive guns.

Comes with two 16 round mags and a foam lined plastic case. The finish is tennifer so it is supposed to be pretty rust/corrosion resistant. Also, the hammer is pre-cocked so it isn't like a traditional DAO gun at all.
 
It's bulky, so not great of concealed carry, but if it turns out to be as durable and reliable as we've come to expect name-brand, polymer-framed pistols to be, it's the deal of the century. I bought one, and the trigger is super nice, it's really easy to shoot well.
 
The PPX is an ugly, awkward-looking pistol, but being an Ulm-manufactured Walther, you know it is a quality pistol (like the P99, PPQ, and PPS), as opposed to Umarex-made junk like the CCP or P22.
 
Has anyone shot these?

I was looking at picking up a SAR B6P for a "truck gun" but these Walthers are much more expensive.

I handled one at LGS today. The slide is super easy to rack, IMO. Sights are serviceable and the trigger isn't bad...

I have the walther and a sar b6 compact. Both shoot really good but they are different. Either one will suit you well. The sar basically is a turkish witness with better sights.
 
The price on the Walther PPX has gone up to $299.89 + $9.99 shipping, the price on the SAR B9P is $245.89 + $8.00 shipping.


Hmmmmmm...
 
2013 ...

I was on the PPX bandwagon when Walther first rolled out the new gun in early 2013. It has many ideal features for a new gun owner or a entry level CCW holder/home protection pistol like Smith & Wesson/SD9VE, SD40VE.
I looked at and handled a few PPXs at local gun shows-shops. My interest started to dip and I read a few - T&Es online.
I like the PPX big 3 dot sights & the safe, practical DA only system but the pistol felt like a hair dryer. No new holsters or gear was brought out for the PPX pistols either, :uhoh: .
In 2015, I've seen PPX prices drop and Walther offers stuff like free range bags and extra new magazines but for my $$$, I'd save up or buy the better PPQ series. Those Walthers get a lot of + reviews and they have holsters, gear, parts, etc.

Kinda hard to conceal or carry around all day. ;)

The PPX definitely pretty big for concealed carry. Even though it looks a little odd it is very ergonomic. I can even drop mags without changing my grip. I also found a injection molded holster on amazon that fits great for a reasonable price.
 
The Walther PPX has a lifetime warranty. That's a leg-up over the SAR in my book. I'm a big fan. Took the PPX out this weekend and put 200 rounds through it, very dependable. A little top heavy but the ergos are surprisingly good recoil impulse is similar to the XZd service because of the chunky slide but it's easier to hang on to because of the texturing.

The trigger is also amazing, which I noted earlier in the thread but Imm even happier with after some range use.

No I didn't make a mistake at the start of the post, starting in 2015 Walther is covering their guns for life all the way back to 1994, which is when the current management took over. I even confirmed via their customer service department.
 
Despite my screen name I find it hard to find anything admirable about the PPX. I prefer the P99 and PPQ family of pistols from Walther. It is a worthy and novel idea behind the PPX to get more people owning Walthers, just not for me.
 
Looks like it would be good for a truck carry or other "beater" use. You can't expect to conceal much of anything that holds 16 rounds...

My Glock 19 and Walther P99 both hold 16 rounds and conceal just fine with a good holster.
 
At $280.00 its $10 cheaper than the Smith & Wesson SD9VE

Does anyone think the S&W SD9SVE is a better gun than the Walther PPX ?

This is the model I have. It's a tennifer finish so it should be pretty decent.

Tennifer is what Glock calls their finishing process. Walther and Springfield calls theirs Melonite. Virtually the same process with different branding. It is a very tough finish and wish more makers would use it instead of the much weaker bluing.

I would take the PPX hands down. I have always had better reliability with Walther products over Smith, especially with the lower end Sigma and SVE (Sigma 2.0) products. If you care more about after market accessories go with the SVE though.
 
The only after-market item I'm concerned about is an under-the-steering-wheel holster.

I think I can find one that fits the PPX.
 
Clear up the finish confusion.

Tenifer is the treatment to the carbon steel. It is NOT the black/blue you see. Tenifer/Menolinite penetrates the metal and protects against rust. It is one of the most durable finishes for this, but it is not the black coloring you see.

Tennifer is not a proprietary Glock process -- it' a proprietary 3rd party process.

Tennifer is not available in the US as it's not EPA approved. Melonite (which creates virtually the same final product) is approved.
