Virginia Gun Owners Forum - VGOF

Hello all,

I just picked up a lightly used PPS .40 from VA Arms, had to get a CCW in .40 that I would actually carry 24/7 my P229 .40 was not going to cut it this summer.

AI Date Stamp (2008)
AC04xx Serial
1 X 5rd mag
1 X 6rd mag
1 X 7rd mag
Laser Lyte Sub-Compact V2 sight

It feels great in my hand and I can't wait to shoot it.

I look forward to getting to know you all here on the boards.

Dave - congrats on the new family member!

Congrats. Here's a little eye candy

Awesome pickup Dave.

Good picture, too. I find it's not that easy to take good gun pictures - especially when my wife is acting like I'm nuts doing it!

Wives just don't understand

You could always take pictures of her holding the gun

haha OakRidge.

Very nice. The PPS has been calling to me for some time now. I just can't seem to get the Glock 23 off my hip.

How is the holster selection for the PPS?

Take a look here for some of the basics -> Walther PPS Holster

The PPS will give you fewer rounds than your G23 , but when was the last time you put your G23 in your front pocket and went to a movie ?

Rick has a good selection of Holsters ..... here's another resource showing a variety of manufacturers coming out with stuff for the PPS.

A lot of PPS owners recommended the High Noon Hidden Agenda IWB, I should be getting that in a day or two.

It's small enough to be a pocket gun??? No, I definitely can't jam that G23 in my pocket, that's for sure! That role gets filled by one of my snub noses.

Glad to see the market is expanding for holsters for the PPS. If I did get one, I'd roll OWB with it. I can't stand IWB carry.

Range Report .....

Had a range session today

Walther PPS .40 S&W
100 Blazer 180gr - flawless operation, slow fire, double tap, rapid fire
50 Magtech 180gr - flawless
20 Winchester 180gr FMJ

Sig P229 .40 S&W w/ new Buffer Technologies buffer installed
50 Blazer 180gr - flawless operation (as usual with the Sig)
NOTE: Save your money the Buffer does absolutely nothing to perceived recoil, IMHO it just adds more parts to fail and/or lose !

Archangel 10/22
100 Blazer .22LR - pure smei -auto fun fun FUN

Never used a buffer on a semi that reduced recoil. What they have done is reduce the battering that the frame takes when using +p or +p+ loads, especially in the alloy framed guns.
