    I just moved to bel air and I want to pick up a Walther pps. Don't know of any local dealers that sell Walther at a good price since I'm very new to the area, any help would be appreciated. I may have a trade also. Feel free to weigh in on the Walther pps too!!!!

    Oh yeah the only thing I am still up in the air about is Walther PPS in 9mm or .40...... I am a .40 fan but this is a smaller handgun.

    Went to Horst and McCann and they did not have much for handguns, they claim they sold 30 guns in the last week. I did not realize they wouldn't have any new guns all are used on the range. Maybe 20 in total and nothing to talk about.

    Does anyone know of A gun store that stocks Walther PPS handguns? I have been searching, I looked at it when it first came out but would like to touch it again before I drop the cash or trade????

    Most would not stock anyway, and now the mp shield is out @ half of what a pps goes for you will be hard pressed to find 1.

    So I found the one I want with the 3 mags and night sights but the asking price was 835.00. It looked new, but for some reason when I racked it back and pulled the trigger it was super smooth but it would not dry fire again unless I re racked it. So I kinda felt like the price was rather high and maybe there was something wrong with the trigger like it was not resetting IMO... Drove a hour and 10 minutes to a shady area to have my heart broken....... So I stopped at a local gun dealer that couldn't find one, but when i called back today they found one but not exactly what I wanted and way low balled me on my trade, a HK, 250 lower then my first offer of the day...... Not looking good for me...

    I believe Gun Connection has one in stock.

    Blue falcon lol..... Been a while since I heard that. The place you mentioned is the place that low balled my HK, he should have said he was not interested and i would have paid cash if he could get one, doing what he did, he lost my business. Plus my HK would have been the best handgun in his store IMO. I should have known to walk when he wouldnt price my HK that was in front of him until he saw how much the PPS was, which took him 24 hours. I wouldn't offer him $150 for the PPS... I understand he has to make money, it's the American way !!!!!! I don't mind him making a profit at all. I even told him I just came from another store that wanted alot for the PPS that i wanted but made a solid offer for my HK. The search goes on......

    That is how a striker fired handgun functions. The slide coming back resets the action.
    I have a 9mm PPS and I love it. Carry it all the time. I recently shot a BUG match with it and it was great.

    My p99 doesn't have to be re racked and I thought they were the same, striker fired? Excuse my ignorance to what I own lol

    $835 is up there... You can find them for $500... Keep checking armslist, waltherforums.com and gunbroker for a local pps... Dont spend more than $600 unless it has night sites and a bunch of mags

    You are correct with the P99. Forgot they are a little different. PPS is like the Glock and M&P.

    I payed around $800 for mine. I know it was up there but it was the night sight model with three mags.
