Walther PPS M2 LE Edition 9mm Black Pistol

A: I own 2 of the 3 but I have fired the xds I didnt care for it much.

A: I suggest that you see if a local FFL has these guns in stock so you can handle them as the differences are hard to describe and what I dislike you may love Its all about what gun feels good and makes smile when you shoot it

A: I have just the Walther and XDS but have shot the G43. The Walther is my personal favorite as the gripe settles in my hands naturally without lots of readjustments during shooting. You really should handle all three locally as one may be your best cup - o - tea.

A: Perry, These three handguns are not the same in many regards. I own the PPQ and G43 and have shot the XDS (9mm) as well. The G43 and XDS are closer to each other in size (more or less a subcompact) whereas the PPQ is a larger handgun in the "compact" size range. From the standpoint of the trigger, the PPQ has more or less become the "standard" to compare against. It has a short non-gritty stroke, a crisp break with minimal over-travel and reset distance. By far much it is much superior to the other two brands, The G43 is a typical Glock (albeit smaller than all but the G42). The trigger is O.K., but nothing special. It looks and feels much like other Glock model. With a round extension endplate on the magazine it fits my hand (which is between a medium and small) quite well. The fit and finish is very good, but again nothing exceptional. The Walther has a better finish, fit and feel. The XDS fit and finish is also very good to excellent. As with the Glock, I did not find anything about

A: LE has Night sights

A: 3 total 1 flush fit and 2 extended What's in the Box Walther PPS M2 LE Edition (1) Flush Fitting Magazine (2) Magazines with Grip Extension Cable Lock Owner's Manual

A: Walter, it does not have a "Manual Safety", just the built in drop safety and trigger bar safety in the trigger similar to a Glock.

A: Walter, it does not have a "Manual Safety", just the built in drop safety and trigger bar safety in the trigger similar to a Glock. It also has a "Loaded Chamber view Port".

A: it does not have a manual safety just the trigger safety (where something has to press on the trigger for the gun to fire like a Glock) and a drop safety which prevents the gun from firing from the impact of being dropped

A: Walter - it has the best and most important safety feature of all - the shooter's trigger finger. No mechanical safety will ever replace that.

A: Walther this gun has no Manuel safety but as by law will come with physical gun lock. Hope that helps.

A: Larry, There are other things that make you a "Qualified Professional" EMT, Judge, National Guard, etc. See following:------Who qualifies for the Qualified Professional Discount?

A: Larry - Here are Buds requirements to be able to purchase under the Qualified Professional program: https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/qualified_professional_discounts.php

A: Larry, no Sir if you are not LE, Military or First Res-ponder. Details here : https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/qualified_professional_discounts.php

A: Actually yes you can purchase this pistol. I did, from Buds. The LE upgrade is the phosphoric sights. You won't get the extra discount that law enforcement gets.

A: So....as I understand it, the only change from the PPS M2 version to the LE version is different sights. BUT....does the LE version come in FDE, as does the non-LE version?
