What are your thoughts on the sun rising tomorrow: east or west?
I'm warming to the idea. I think pricing is the decider for me.
I'm also curious as to how interchangeable trigger mechanism components will be since obviously the sear housing block will be different on this gun.
I wonder if S&W will release one without a safety?
Whatever the comparison, one must bet that Walther is probably very unhappy to see the minimal sales and marketing effort that S&W put into the PPS line even further overshadowed by this release. From S&W perspective, cannibalizing those sales is probably an afterthought... and while I called that quite a while back, the other shoe to drop will be if / when Walther decides on a different US partner. The PPQ and PPS pairing can certainly stand on its own for a sizable enough firm with interest and a robust enough market presence and support base to survive due diligence. The question is how long the original partnership was inked for...
And +1 on the wish that there was a Glock single stack 9... The M&P trigger and grip just doesn't do it for me, though its an entirely competent pistol.
Yeah, but Walther really doesn't give a rip about the US market anyway from what I've heard.
That's because Walther pistols are as ubiquitous with European police units as glocks are over here. The last time I was visiting my ancestral family area in western Germany (Dortmund and environs) , about 4 years ago, the cops were carrying p99's. All the cops.
As for the new S&W offering, meh, consider me completely underwhelmed. I've never really been a fan of A) S&W products or B) small single stack 9's. I prefer revolvers for my small BUG role.

Think it'll have a mag safety? I'll bet yes!
Why would it? The M&P doesn't, after all.
You mean an easily removed nuisance that fits nicely into a small baggie that remains in the box forever once removed from the gun?
Think for yourself. Question authority.
Dude... You are one thoroughly sick puppy!
I'm STILL laughing over the cocooned rabbit.
Do I have your permission to use that as a screen saver?
