Walther PPS .40 S&W Mayor's First Impression

[@Mojo32]

You do not need to pull off the backstrap to get the slide off! And what you said is ridiculous anyway, "to disarm the pistol..." It's already unloaded!

[@zorymar2002]

I've been carrying for 30 years and this has been the most comfortable one yet.

[@MayorFuglycools]

+zorymar2002 Awesome ! ;) Mayor Fuglycool

[@howardharaway2259]

I picked this up at Tanners Guns/Sports ,Jamison, Pa. brand new for $325. They sold it cheap because of the paddle style mag release. I have no problem with this type of mag release. My most comfortable gun.

[@Mojo32]

I've grown to truly enjoy this mag release, for me it literally feels second nature.

[@tombats6428]

I got dressed today and I reached inside the safe for a handgun. The P250 subcompact leaves my pinky dangling, so I grabbed a bersa thunder uc still in 40 s&w, 28 oz loaded and thought that I need a thin handgun. I went out with a P238 and after meeting my son, we stopped at the local gun store. And there it was. Thin in 40 s&w, new and under $400. I took a long time to tell you: I just bought one!!! Very nice. Have not fired it yet, but I expect it to be as accurate as the rest of my guns. This is the only striker fired I own at this time, but the lack of DA will not be an issue...

[@MayorFuglycools]

+tom bats Oh yeah, I love mine a lot . Prefect shape for CC, and the full size mag option feels great. Thanks for watching ! Mayor Fuglycool

[@packerdmohar1]

Can also get mags with the extended floor plate/backstrap if you're used to a larger grip.

[@williamjones9459]

This has been my everyday carry for about 4 years now. I carry it in my right front pocket, in a pocket holster, and nothing else in that pocket. Also remember that all pants pockets are different. You put on your pants... you've got your weapon. Also this weapon shoots fine out to 200 meters... I've done it repeatedly at my outdoor range.

[@MayorFuglycools]

Yeah, Walther is a brand that you can seriously trust your life with. :3)) Mayor Fuglycool

[@401Impala]

Went to the Store looking for a PPQ .40 M1, Couldn't find one, they had a PPS .40 Used for 349.00 and i just couldn't pass it up. Love the gun!

[@MayorFuglycools]

Glad you liked it ! Keep shooting my friend :3)) Mayor Fuglycool

[@cigarman1960]

Nice review. I picked mine up today. I was going to get the PPS 9mm M2 put this one was $60 cheaper. I also like the paddle magazine release.

[@MayorFuglycools]

Oh yeah, the paddle release in my eyes is far superior to the button type. Thanks for watching friend ! :) Mayor Fuglycool

[@cigarman1960]

Will do.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

ThI have the M1 myself. Great pistol. The grip benefits from a grip sleeve if you have skinny fingers like I do. I put a Hogue Hand-all Jr. on it and it feels great. Also my trigger was a little creepy/gritty, so I polished the trigger bar, slide safety plunger and bore, and the striker sear and lug and now the trigger is smooth as silk. Finally I ordered some tritium vials and set them in the stock steel sight. Perfect carry pistol now.

[@MayorFuglycools]

Myanameis Beestingz Awesome ! I am glad you love your Walther :) Mayor Fuglycool

[@AnarchAngel1]

Yea you wanna pull the slide back just a hair before you pull down those takedown tabs, that's why it's taking a little extra effort. I have the 9mm great gun, very impressed with the build quality on these.

[@MayorFuglycools]

+Deus Vult Thanks for watching ! Mayor Fuglycool

Walther PPS .40 First Impression New Pistol Review Up :3)) Mayor Fuglycool

[@jeremygreiner6854]

Walther PPS is the innovator of single stack conceal carry. Walks all over other single stack concealed carry pistols.

[@c-5terminator367]

Great video. Thank you for posting Stay Vigilant.

[@buddhatobe1]

its been 10 years ... has it been reliable? how many malfunctions have you had?

[@shanetrapp1373]

Great vid man. I have one in 9mm...would rather have one in .40 but i got one helluva deal on it so i cant complain lol

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

With the great 9mm rounds available today you shouldn't have any issues.

[@canaantravis]

That gun matt though 👌

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

Very underrated pistol. I love mine.

[@austindorf83]

This is my first pistol. Very happy with it.

[@MayorFuglycools]

+austindorf83 Awesome ! Glad you love it ! :) Mayor Fuglycool

[@lungfixer]

Can you buy a factory 9mm barrel and mags for this gun to interchange caliber (like you can with the M&P Shield)??

[@MayorFuglycools]

No, the 9mm barrel will not work in this model from what I have heard. Some have tried this, and supposedly the breech face is too large for reliable loading, and of course head space issues. Mayor Fuglycool

[@michaelrichey6783]

Nice vid. Thinking of getting this myself. Just curious as to how the recoil is on this gun along with shot resets. Thanks!

[@MayorFuglycools]

Recoil is pretty stout, but it is manageable with 160 grain .40 ammunition. 180 grain is a kicker, but is still controllable. Mayor Fuglycool

[@davidgoodman4067]

I’m in the market for my first CCW. Can you point me to a good presentation on 9mm vs 40 cal. Thank you. David

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

After seeing the new P365, it looks like Walther and the rest need to step up their game. I still love my PPS, but I'm not turing my back on an extra 3 rounds of ammo in the same form factor.

[@johnphelps7519]

Like you wrote, the NEW P365... the PPS came out in '07. But my full size is a SIG. Love 'em both.

[@briantodich7419]

need to buy clip for walther pps 40 cal sw

[@sycamorebacker1]

you don't need your pinky to shoot. 6 finger grip is plenty. 7th finger does very little.

[@gunsodin5299]

Its not walter its walther.

[@MayorFuglycools]

It's actually "volther". Mayor Fuglycool

[@bakdraft6578]

007 style? You mean "Walther" style.............

[@richardsmith9067]

But they have gone ka-boom, and with a nice split in the slide even. Maybe the design has been improved but I've read nothing to indicate this.

[@MayorFuglycools]

+Richard Smith Would like to see pics. :) Mayor Fuglycool

[@richardsmith9067]

+Mayor Fuglycool I can look for it. They were posted on a blog someplace I real while researching this pistol. Walther reportedly blamed the ammo. It wasn't pretty...the photos. If memory serves, they were saying the metal surrounding the base of the cartridge was too thin.

[@MayorFuglycools]

Richard Smith I have had a bad 40 before in my PPS. The pistol kicked really hard, but the barrel did not crack, and slide did not take damage. 40 cal shell had primer blow out. Did have to send to Walther to make sure pistol was ok, they replaced some springs for me for free, and sent it back in a week. Mayor Fuglycool

[@richardsmith9067]

+Mayor Fuglycool I finally handled a PPS earlier this evening but it won't work in my hand. Or rather I can't work the mag release. My big hand prevents the mag from coming out. I carry a PPQ M2 40 every day and thought this PPS would be a nice alternative for IWB carry. My research continues. On another note, the P99c is amazing fit in my hand.

[@richardsmith9067]

+Richard Smith and it was the barrel that split. The slide just ended up tweeked and derailed big time.

[@swaggod226]

Where can I order a different size grip from?

[@depqua7905]

Thumbs up for anime girls

[@matmatdadon7840]

I need a Back strap for mine, where do I Find one Mayor

[@MayorFuglycools]

+MatMat DaDon To be honest, I would contact Walther directly. I am sure that they have some in stock for ya ! Thanks for watching :) Mayor Fuglycool

[@matmatdadon7840]

+Mayor Fuglycool thanks Brother

[@MayorFuglycools]

MatMat DaDon For sure thanks for watching ! :) Mayor Fuglycool

[@ewewell]

Do you really have to take the backstrap out

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

Nope.

[@Brips22]

No I just did without doing that

[@user-pu4eg9cq9m]

What's better this or the glock 27?

[@MayorFuglycools]

I prefer this :) Mayor Fuglycool

[@joe429t]

Glock. I had a Walther PPS .40 and hated it. All of my friends that shot it also hated it. Traded it with no regrets.
