The company says the discount is a way of saying, “Thank you for keeping our country moving during these difficult times.”
There were far too many products on display at the Sands Convention Center and Expo in Las Vegas to adequately capture it all, but as I zoom along at 300 miles per hour about 34,000 feet above sea level en route home, here are some of the things that immediately spring to mind as having a lasting impression on me.
Walther Arms Inc. has recently discovered a potential safety issue with certain PPS M2 pistols shipped before August 1, 2017 and is voluntarily initiating a recall.
Makers of long guns and handguns for law enforcement operations will be marketing a broad range of new and ongoing product lines this year.
Industry Day at the Range has grown by leaps and bounds since its inception last decade. The event has become something of a SHOT Show in miniature. Yesterday’s Industry Day involved more than 100 exhibitors of rifles, pistols, shotguns, gear, apparel, and even archery equipment.
Ring's Manufacturing has introduced a Walther PPS M2 Bluegun training pistol replica. The PPS training pistol is molded from solid blue polyurethane to differentiate it from a live weapon.
Glock garnered most of the pre-show hype for the .380 ACP market with its introduction of the Model 42 pistol. This is the Austrian gunmaker's smallest pistol to date.
The PPQ arrives in 9mm and .40 S&W calibers with 3.2-inch barrels. Representatives from Smith & Wesson (Walther's distributor) touted the pistol's "quick defense trigger," which provides an audible reset (clicking sound), 5.5-pound pull, and 0.1-inch reset.
The Walther PK380, which is engineered on the P22 platform, is semi-automatic and delivers the power of a .380 in a lightweight, ambidextrous firearm, according to the company.
I was really impressed with the 9mm model of the PPS. Its captive dual recoil spring and excellent ergonomics combine to make an extremely soft shooting pistol. In fact, it's the softest shooting subcompact pistol that I have ever tested.
