Walther Creed Unbox and Field Strip

[@82luft49]

Having once owned the Walther PPQ 9 mm, I thought that no other firearm would ever come close to its performance. Close is one thing, closer is another. This is where the Creed closes the gap. I recently purchased my NIB Creed on Gun Broker ($340, plus $20 shipping to my FFL), and it was love at first sight when I received it. Granted, a utilitarian pistol with few, if any bells and whistles, but an absolute charmer at the range. Albeit an unseen hammer fired gun, its light trigger pull almost reminded me of the PPQ's trigger mechanism. Unbeatable accuracy with not one malfunction after 300 tested rds. All I can say is Walther's competitors should start getting their house in order by matching this amazing pistol's performance and price point.

[@rickeymorris6948]

I ordered this for a customer who sadly left (job move) before it arrived, and rather than to send it back and pay the restock fee, I decided to keep it for myself, and I'm sure glad I did. As an FFL dealer I can get almost any gun, and it's a bit large for me to use as a concealed carry gun with a 4" barrel, but I haven't had this much fun with a fantastic shooting pistol in a long time. I expected quite a bit of kick with feel of the gun seeming light for it's size, but it is so smooth, and reliable to shoot, that you can't help but have fun. It was very accurate right out of the box, although you can adjust the sites for wind, and drop, I haven't touched it except to maintain, (I clean after every shooting) and being such an easy gun to break down, even that part is fun. It's perfect for home protection, or if I cross state lines that accept the carry licence, I carry this pistol because I have not had one jam or misfire yet, and I've ran a wide mixture of brands, and even a few steels without one ejection problem. For people who want their first gun, this is perfect. For someone who wants a non professional target and range, and fun pistol that's simple to take apart, I don't think you can go wrong.

[@GBGuns]

+Rickey Morris great description

[@rickeymorris6948]

Thank you Graham, the creed I expect to become one of the most popular Pistols bar none. I had back surgery and looking for a nice slim single stack 9mm because it's going to be tender back there for some time. How comfortable have you found the CCP to be carried in the back side? I'm looking for comfort, but still realistic power but even in the Gun Digest I can't really see the width. I like the delayed blowback, and reduced muzzle jump, but right now I need comfort for traveling. I know you've tried them all so shoot me an email at [e-mail] if you would. Rick

[@DENNISLOPEZINC]

Would This CREED be good for Competition Shooting? I am New to the Firearms scene and am in the infant stages of learning.

[@GBGuns]

You might find the PPQ better for competition, but it depends on how you approach it. For a year I ran competitions using my carry gun and gear. That turned every competition into valid training instead of a game with unrealistic gear.

[@Tbone42tx]

Rickey Morris I find it funny guys say they can’t carry a 4” poly gun, when that’s what folks carried before all this sub compact craze, guys carry Glocks, Sigs, Etc everyday don’t see why nobody could carry this

[@jonadkins8007]

I've had my Walther Creed for 2 months now. I've shot it 2 times at the range and have not had any problems with it. I got mine from CDNN Sports online. $269.00 the price plus $35.00 FFL transfer fee. This pistol is very accurate. I also ordered two more magazines for it. 16 rounds. That is a lot of firepower. I think I'll keep it.

[@rodeocowboy]

I own a Creed and I’ve put a few hundred rounds through it. Very smooth cycling, never had a jam, and it’s dead on accurate! Big fan.

[@jeffwest5030]

My first pistol was the Creed. Great gun! The trigger is super solid and it’s accurate as ever. Great buy

[@OandASBG289]

Love my Creed also!

[@BuzzWreck61]

Going to purchase a Creed today. I’m 57, and it will be my first SA, as well as my first NEW gun ever. I like what I’ve read in the comments.

[@googalooga]

R C It’s actually a pre-cocked double action trigger system but don’t let that worry you, the travel is short and the break is really sweet. Better than most of my single action guns.

[@LloydBlahut]

Bought this for my granddaughter 15 yrs old. It's perfect. And she loves it. Very accurate turns out she's a natural. Very impressive shooting. And I am so proud of her. Great gun

[@doingthingswiththeone-arme3010]

Thanks for the review. Because of reviews like yours (and others) I ended up buying 2 Creeds from CDNN for $249 ea with a range bag included. What a baragin. One of these will surely find a home in my bug-out bag and the other will be my range gun and maybe an everyday carry. Anyway, thanks for all the good info about this great gun. My wife decided on a Security 9 instead. I like mine better!

[@codgerbrown]

Just got home from shooting my New Creed and I'm not disappointed in any way; it's smooth and feels great in my apelike hands.

[@ERICGRIMEY1]

Love my creed

[@ERICGRIMEY1]

Creed is simply awesome...

[@davemccarthy3680]

I have had my Creed for about a month, have fired about 400 RDS. through it with out any problems at all. Pistol is really well made and a real pleasure to shoot. All of the people that have tried it at the range liked it, especially the great trigger action. This pistol is a "keeper".

[@ozzydmiami]

Bought mine for $250 online. I can tell you i'm extremely happy with it. I also have the PPS for daily carry, can't go wrong with Walthers.

[@saanigordyg796]

Whats a good holster for it?

[@Grey_Beard72]

I bought a PPS M2 first and then got a Creed. I love Walther firearms.

[@bubbaj1932]

Grey Beard I did the same thing. We rock! Walther rocks.

[@TheAllNighter1980]

I did the same, but the Creed was first! I got the LE version of the PPS. That was a must!

[@vadimkovalenko9637]

I just get one on Black Friday and it was first in our area. Took it to range once and LOVE it! It feels awesome in hand and feels good on recoil. Planning for more range time tomorrow and will be able to gave you more input. Thx

[@celebromago9434]

I own one and i love it! Definitely a good gun to learn with and it doesn't have too much kick back.

[@brandonanthonyk]

This is my carry gun. I love it. A little big for carrying but the capacity of 16 in the mag and 1 in the pipe is awesome. very accurate little shooter. My first time at the range, I was shooting really tight groupings formit being my first time.

[@j_thom]

@4:48 The remark on "very cleanly machined" in an area that is composed wholly of molded polymer and stamped and cast steel parts. From one Walther fanboy to another. Else great review on this PPX that they sensibly decided to commit more time on the milling machine for is a welcome addition. Still one of the best DAO triggers anywhere.

[@carlosandres3195]

[@michaelvitale4029]

I’ve already seen this at a gun show for $299. I’d heard good things so I rented one at my range this past weekend. Loved it. Will be buying one very soon. Thrilled if I pay under $300.

[@Tbone42tx]

Michael Vitale There only $250 now with free2 gun Range bag 💼 just ordered mines!

[@Mr1bigsexy]

Michael Vitale it’s $249.00 at cdnnsports.com

[@billgodfrey1128]

I love my Creed. Affordable and a joy to shoot.

[@ObscuredReverie]

Excellent video, thank you! This Walther became my favorite when it came to field stripping; I’d break it down and disassemble in second then build it back up as quickly - loved the feeling of it. It’s so snappy and precise, you’ll love clicking it back into action.

[@GBGuns]

It's years old, but check out our Shooting Impressions video

[@funkyfresh2404]

It looks good. I still have a PPX to go with my other Walthers and they are great shooters and good to have in your collection. I expect the Creed to be the same.

[@lawdog89]

Funky Fresh I just picked my Creed up because of the Ppx. I like the feel of the grip on the Creed. Both are awesome.

[@rise-amorph8178]

I bought mine 3 weeks ago taking it to the NRA range twice shut about 250 rounds through a total gun is phenomenal no problems easy to clean

[@haydensdaddy2010]

I've just recently seen this model and can not wait to add it to my collection design feel and weight of gun are great and if anyone has a Walther you know it's quality

[@GBGuns]

+Damian Espinosa a nice shooter too. Did you see our shooting impressions video?

[@haydensdaddy2010]

Graham Baates yes and can not wait to go get the gun

[@harleyandguns]

Good review. Been a Walther fan since getting a P99 QA about 15 years ago. Didn't see much use for the Creed considering I purchased a PPQ M2 in 2015. In late 2018 I couldn't pass up the CDNN deal of $249 and the extra mags were half price. Dollar for dollar this is the best 9mm pistol I own. It's out of the box accuracy rivals the much higher priced PPQ and the trigger is phenomenal for a hammer fired pistol. A little big, a little ugly and it rattles but it shoots like a champ.

[@carlgomm9699]

I recently bought a Walther Creed,was a little skeptical at first,for a Walther I could actually afford there had to be something wrong!! My 1st trip to the range with it was spectacular,I found it to be very accurate and reliable,am very happy with it and glad I bought it!!

[@danu760]

Thank you! Just purchased this gun

[@undermoonlightglow]

I got one today. I cannot wait to take it to a range.

[@charlesearly8821]

Just purchased one this past weekend. Caught it on sale $269 & used it on the range/ must admit I love it !!!

[@stevenkennedy4130]

This would make a great nightstand piece. Paint that front sight with some neon orange nail polish. Maybe a weapon light and call it a day! Thanks for the share!!

[@carlgomm9699]

I just bought one of these and can't wait to try it out,nice show!!

[@bippie23456]

From the Walther website.... "The Creed features a pre-cocked "double-action" trigger system and a bobbed hammer that ensure a no-snag draw from a concealment." Double action trigger.... if the hammer moves reward while the trigger is being pulled it is double action...... the trigger moves the hammer back and releases it .... two actions!

[@michaelvincent4684]

It is a German made gun by Walther. That is pretty much all you need to know. Walther's Rock!!

[@kevinkeener3216]

Sucks they discontinued it. CDNN still has them for $249. I wonder if walther will still service them if need be?

[@longshotbet4944]

I own this gun and took it 3 gunning. Nice and smooth very enjoyable gun. If you're after a speed gun the Q5 definitely much faster, but shooting the class I wanted to be in the Q5 wasn't allowed. Trigger is nice and smooth, not overly heavy and decent enough reset considering she isn't a speed gun. Very enjoyable and I got it price matched for $269! Works for me!

[@vinceedwards3217]

Ok.... I get it, some folks need to use alot of extra words to appear to have extra insight or experience that makes thier opinion more valuable or true.... words like budget , entry level, blah blah blah.... save that conversation for Starbucks..... but words like awesome dependable true excellent quality uncomplicated bad guy stopper and family security... inferior to none!!! and most of all thank you Walther.

[@Ando2k10]

I have two Creeds...won them both at gun raffles about a year apart. The only issue I've ever had with them was with Wolf and Federal Premium steel cased ammo having the occasional failure to eject. But, to be honest, that same ammo caused issues for my PPQ, Glock 43, Mossberg MC1sc, and Beretta M9A3. Yes, it looks like a PPQ had an affair with a Hi-Point, but it's a damn good, reliable gun.

[@AKlover]

Just shot mine for the first time, about 50 mixed rounds worth. Steel, lacquer, brass, and JHP ranging from pudd load to +P. No issues.

[@brandonanthonyk]

In the manual it says you shouldn't use plus p ammo.

[@sladekiske]

I would love to see a video from you on that Q5 Match. Just bought a PPQ Classic M1 because it immediately felt natural to me with the paddle release (It's my first hand gun purchase). I've been curious about the possibility of attaching the slide from the Q5 Match to the PPQ M1 since Q5 is only in M2 frame with the button release.

[@GBGuns]

+sladekiske we have two videos on the Q5 Match and use it in our "Matchy Matchy" handgun ammo tests.

[@ReVideoGuy]

I've tried it and it's a really nice handgun.

[@benoitweiss6653]

I own 4 guns 1 rugar 2 taurus and the Walther Creed.The Creed is absolutely my favorite of the bunch

[@PIFFthePUFF420]

Should get a PDP or ppq you won't be disappointed

[@halloweenjunkie666]

I’ve had mine for a few months now. Because of the pandemic ammo was hard to find so in the meantime i been scouring various local gun stores for holsters...nothing. even amazon...zippo! I finally found one at alien gear holsters!!

[@lizardking6613]

Well I am "kinda" new to weapons. I hunted as a kid with my dad. I was raised by a Marine Drill Instructor and was the only person in basic to not be thrashed for a poorly cleaned weapon after range time. And here is where my time with a weapon ends (1987 in Army) So fast forward to 2019/2020 looking at the world and now I need a weapon When it come down to it WALTHER is the ONLY weapon I'll put my life in the hands of. First Walther was the PPQ 22 LR I still carry her. My second is a Walther PPS these are both with me every time I leave my house The Walther CREED is my next purchase and then a Walther .380. IMO a Walther "budget" weapon is still better then an top of the line glocks or a ruger and both are junk IMO. You want to have a lol get pulled over with two Walthers by a State Trooper. He asked "you a power packer?" I said no only one's a 9mm the other a .22 LR. Trooper "Yes by who?" They are Walthers officer... Looking down Trooper replies '\"Well.... get that light fix" as he walked away looking at the ground. Sorry you feel out manned you would of been even if I hadn't had a weapon. On a personals note I wish reviewers would stop calling these "guns" they are weapons. Now if you buy a Weapon for ONLY target I guess ok but these are for one thing protection and that can and will at time involve a death so they are a weapon.

[@edwardoalvarez5566]

Great looking Gun.

[@GBGuns]

Not a bad shooter either. Unfortunately this "affordable Walther" is no longer in production.

[@kipperwhite2976]

That made in Germany emboss is beautiful thing! WTG Walther WTG big fan 4 longtime ATB ;)

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

Awesome review as usual! Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought it was a 16 +1. Supposedly the PPX magazines work in the Creed, but not vice versa. Astute point about polishing the safety plunger. I improved both my PPS and PPQ take up by polishing the safety plunger and bore. Does the trigger seem similar to the LEM trigger on the H&K P30?

[@GBGuns]

I haven't shot the H&K

[@AKlover]

I will say getting used to the trigger reset will take some repetition. My other 9mms are 3.5 trigger Glock 19 and a CZ-75B which have much pronounced reset which is also slightly shorter.

[@Omnis2]

The Creed has Stapping power.

[@moonoinkgaming2231]

fucking underrated. thank you

[@Mr1bigsexy]

Omnis what is “stapping power??”

[@toynazi]

Looks nice for a budget gun. But I will stick with my P99 compact. It seems most forget all about the P99.

[@GBGuns]

+Keith Richards Liver I love my P99

[@funkyfresh2404]

Keith Richards Liver I carry my P99c primarily but I'm sure this gun performs just fine. I've had an original PPX since they came out and have never had an issue with it. It's just as accurate as my P99 and P99c but better for home defense and car gun use rather than for carry.

[@googalooga]

I paid $250 NIB from gunbroker yesterday. I think I did ok.

[@googalooga]

I’ve put a couple hundred rounds through it now. Not a single failure of any kind and oh my, that amazing trigger!

[@halloweenjunkie666]

just bought mine and finally found a owb holster for it through Alien Gear Holsters

[@anthonyjohnson4734]

It's excellent 🔥

[@snowbird4433]

Nice review. May try it to replace a P250 subcompact (I'd like to blame the trigger, but it may be operator error. ..can't get the results I'm wanting so far).

[@rise-amorph8178]

Love my creed

[@rise-amorph8178]

Way worth it

[@halloweenjunkie666]

I just bought mine. Very impressed with the weight..fully loaded...However I’m using it for work because I work security what Blackhawk level 2 holster can I get? would ppq be ok?

[@GBGuns]

I don't know

[@mattredshow6855]

The grip pattern look like the same as on the red kickball.

[@fursovpavel]

PPX gen2

[@rickgindlesberger4451]

I bought the Creed a few days ago. Took it to the gun range and fired some aluminum and steel cased rounds through it and had a problem with the casing not electing. Brass casings, no problem. Puzzled me! Is this normal?

[@GBGuns]

Many guns prefer brass

[@Justyoutube495]

They should use the creed slide stop on a new PPQ.

[@raulrivera6356]

I just bought mine but the range is closed due to COVID-19 so I'll have to wait to shoot it.

[@vitalvicious]

Why does the slide lock into place when the magazine is in but without it, it slides back freely?

[@GBGuns]

An empty magazine locks the slide back on most handguns. It's a good thing to keep in mind if you have difficulty locking it back normally.

[@molonlabe459]

New sub. Looks very interesting. I learned on a sig p250c. DAO long but light and butter smooth trigger pull. I learned to shoot lights out with it. Comparable?

[@Robert82]

20 seconds in and Graham has jokes.. lol nope, not a problem at all.. hahaha Good review bro

[@davidtrueslayor7474]

Do you think that they make titanium or steel replacement guide rods and or upgradeable springs for this gun ? and being a hammer fired gun doesn't mean you cant get a trigger job on it right ? Just contemplating getting one of these and upgrading piecemeal , thanks david

[@googalooga]

David trueslayor kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZO4gI2OlM-Dj5I

[@gatorshd]

I love my Creed.

[@RichardCranium321]

@Graham Baates about how many rounds do you have through it to date & how well is it holding up to wear? I'm about to purchase one but it's a toss up between that or a s&w sd9ve. Oh, also, creed isn't considerwd hammer fire but a proprietary pre-cocked striker fire

[@GBGuns]

I don't have the gun anymore. Have you seen our Shooting Impressions video on it?

[@RichardCranium321]

Graham Baates I have but the only videos available on wear/durability is just a tabletop view of a guy talking about it having almost 1k rds through and it still going strong but I was looking more for like 3-5k round reports or 2-3 year carry report. I have very high ph content sweat and can rust a glock by the end of a day on my hip & can make a kel-tec disintegrate to a pile of corrosion just by looking at one too long. So I was curious to see how well yours had held up but I'm guessing like most other channels, a lot of the stuff you did reviews on weren't purchases but loaners for the purpose of content, is that about right?

[@GoodmanMIke59]

[@drakesimon1960]

Any thoughts on using the creed for Concele carry ?

[@GBGuns]

It's a great gun, perhaps a little large to carry concealed, but then again I carry the P99 from time to time without too much trouble. It'll all depend on your body type, holster, belt, and clothing style.

[@drakesimon1960]

Yea Sir I see what you are saying thnx for the quick response.

[@GBGuns]

+THE Blue Room no problem

[@brandonanthonyk]

I use it and it's a little big, but I carry it because it's capacity is 17 rounds. I can get out of almost any situation with that.

[@kurtjensen7264]

I'm sold.

[@hiya_how_areya6436]

Why is the slide so big? What's it made of? Looks like a refined Hi-point.

[@GBGuns]

My guess would be the slide is so tall because the gun is hammer-fired.

[@tmut44]

i like it

[@stayforedswift1685]

Is this a full sized pistol

[@me2260542]

that is a half cooked system. if your trigger pull clocks the hammer even half way then is DAO

[@carlosramos2611]

How many round in the magazine?

[@danielwatters1203]

Feel free to compare and contrast the Creed with the patents for the original PPX. The PPX's three-part barrel assembly is covered by this patent: www.google.com/patents/US8997623 The tube threads into the locking piece. A flange at the rear of the tube pulls and traps the feed ramp against the locking piece. On the PPX, I believe the locking piece was manufactured via MIM. The following patent shows how the PPX's slide is constructed, complete with the separate breechblock. Note that they even suggested the possibility of making the breechblock out of plastic. www.google.com/patents/US8555537 The PPX's DAO fire control system is shown here: www.google.com/patents/US8555539 And finally, here we have the patent for the captured guide rod: www.google.com/patents/US8887617

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

Very cool! So do you approve of these designs? I'm not used to such an unbiased comment! ; )

[@GBGuns]

+Myanameis Beestingz I think it's a worthy replacement of the PPX and more in line with Walther.

[@josephsibley600]

Can you tell me if the barrel has polygonal or traditional rifling on the Creed?

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

I believe it's traditional rifling.

[@walterniklowicz9141]

I tried the trigger in the gun shop and it was virtually as good as the one on my ppq. is it just me or does the creed remind you of the hi-point especially at the rear profile

[@JenJaneway]

[@michaelrobeson9072]

Whether pps m2

[@DAIadvisor]

Certainly better than PPX looks wise, but Walther still hasn't made anything remotely as good looking as Gen 1 P99 9mm since they discontinued it

[@GBGuns]

What about the P99AS? I love that gun, rides with me to work.

[@DAIadvisor]

This is just my personal preference of course. But I do think that the original (no rail) slanted up nose G1 version was beautiful. When they added rails, changed the trigger guard shape and redesigned the slide with more serrations in AS model, they lost the clean elegant lines of the G1. Not saying AS is a bad gun at all, I just wish they would stop "tacticooling" it.
