Looking for a Walther PPS .40

[zeek]

I have been all over Nashville looking for one of these. I have seen a couple online, but I would rather spend my money locally if I can.

 

As busy as the dealers are now, I feel bad calling them asking if something is in stock. They all seem so... tired.

 

I would prefer an all black version. If anyone sees one please let me know. 

 

 

Thanks!

Online is looking more an option. The shops I have talked to locally have been pretty much pushing me that direction.

Rare to find a PPS in a shop. Both that I've had came from individuals.

 

Good luck.

I know there WAS one at Sumner Gun and Supply in Gallatin; not sure if it's still there.

Steel, it's gone. 

 

Zeek, I'll send you a PM on a possible location.

Speciality Arms in LaVergne has them at times. Have seen them at the gun show. Been a while tho.

Give 'em a call.

I did check out Speciality Arms a couple weeks back and they were totally out of walthers.

 

Academy customer service said they would be getting some in a couple weeks in Franklin but they have raised their price to over MSRP if I even got lucky enough to get over there the day they show up. Everything goes fast there. Apparenty 10-20 guys are waiting at the store at 6am on truck days to grab whatever they get in stock. 

 

I have never seen anything like it.

Silver's south of Cleveland TN had a 40last time I was in. He's good people, and would be happy to ship.

Yes, Silvers is excellent.

I checked with Silvers and they have sold it already. According to the Walther forums there is supposed to be some coming from Germany this month to the USA but with all of the pent up demand, I am not sure its going to help much.

Well I actually found one in Nashville new in the box. I haven't gotten a chance to shoot it yet but I think I will do that this weekend. I didn't get a great deal on it but at least I supported a Nashville business and not some guy out in Ohio with this 3% cash discount off of Gunbroker.

 

Thanks to everyone that kept an eye out for me. Bad time to be looking for anything out of the norm.

 

Now to just find some more ammo.....

I was coming to say I've seem them everywhere this past week. I bought a 9mm at GnL a few days ago cause they had the best price (all within $50 though)even though it was still a bit high. Franklin gun and Nashville armory also had them in both flavors if anyone else is looking.

I've personally found .40 to be too snappy in small handguns like that. I had a G27 and got rid of it for that reason.
