New 9mm?

[Steve2121]

Toss up between the glock 17 and the Walter ppx. Handled both, likes them both. Is the glock really worth the extra 370$?

 

[silverfoxdj]

It is in my mind..

 

[r34skyline]

Yes it is.

Have you looked at the FNS 9L?
Awesome gun and a lot cheaper than the Glock.
I have both guns by the way.

I have both and while the ppx has a better trigger pull out of the box I'd still choose the glock. Parts availability and customization options for the glock are hard to beat.

 

[ranbur]

Yes it is ... you will love the Glock

 

[TW25B]

If you have sought proper training or are going to, the Glock by far. If you haven't a clue how to shoot like so many(unfortunately) then you will complain about the honest trigger and proclaim that Glock's are junk..

How much are Walther mags (if you can get them)? Pmags for the Glock are $30

 

[luckey]

PPX's trigger may be a little better than glock, and the grip(depending on the hand). that's about it. everything else, especially the ongoing maintenance and 3rd party parts, ppx is world apart from glock.

Had a PPX, it was a great gun but I ended up selling it due to no availability of mags or parts. Ended up buying a M&P 9 instead (actually 3 including a CORE). With a bit of trigger smoothing these are a great gun and very reliable with parts readily available. Bonus is you can find tons of them on the EE FOR $500

No. Glock Canadian pricing is simply too high at this point in time. Buy used if you really want one.

 

[luckey]

this is really good advice. I got my g41 new, but g22 used in great condition. replaced with FO sights and add a 9mm barrel. great gun to shoot in 2 calibers.

[Steve2121]

Could be an option. Been looking at the M&p 9 now was well. Seems to have similar review and a much better price tag

 

[Steve2121]

It is in my mind..

Been looking at gen 3 and gen 4. 3 seems to be quite a bit less expensive. Are the differences major? Or is the gen 4 really worth the extra 100$+. Sorry if these are dumb questions. Not a new gun owner. But very inexperienced in pistol shooting.

One other thing to think of is resale ... being the latest gen 4 will hold value longer.

 

[silver bullet]

With the Gen 4, you get a better mag release and an extra magazine, so you're looking at about $85 plus tax in extra value.

 

[Master-G]

With the Gen 4, you get a better mag release

I must say I was surprised how much I like the new Gen 4 mag release, for me it's even better than the old extended release

Seems to be extremely high

 

[jackrabbit000]

I would get the Glock or M&P 9.

 

[enefgee]

Given you can pick up an immaculate, very low mileage Gen 3 for $500 from anyone who isn't delusional, I'd say the Gen 3 in lightly used condition is an excellent buy.
