Hey all,
This is my first post here. The first time I became aware of these pistols was last week when my CCW instructor (also a LEO) had one of the compacts in class and let us handle it. I left the class and went to the local shop and talked with them about it. They told me that since the CCW law had passed they had sold a LOT of the compact models. I asked to see one. Now I am interested.
I looked at the S&W catalog and then came to the web and looked at the Walther page to check out what was available. From what I can tell there is very little difference between the 2. Other than color options and a slightly different profile, they look to be almsot the same. Am I right or are there differences between the 2 brands? Is one made better than the other? Is one more accurate than the other? Basically I am trying to find out if there is a justification for the added price that Walther commands. I also understand that Walther will be coming out with a compact this year too, anyone know when it will be out?
If you can break it down for me, I would love to read it. Let me know what your experiences with them are and what you think about them.
Thanks
