I went with the XD9sc and haven't looked back. It's a great weapon for the price.

I've shot both, but own the PPS. I'd go with the PPS. It would be just so much easier to conceal.

Love my 9sc! Concealing is no problem with the Crossbreed Quickclip!

Both are good guns, yet I voted for the Walther as it would be the easiest of the two to conceal. Walther SEEMS to have worked out any bugs and I would definitely stay away from any used ones you might find out there.

ok, I own an xd9sc, while my father-in-law owns the walther pps. The trigger on the xd is better, as well as round capacity. The walther conceals better and has better sights. The xd has better accessories, including sights, holsters, internals etc. If it were me, I'd go xd, upgrade the sights and get a great holster for the same money you'd put into the PPS. Also, the pps tends to eject shells straight up which causes hot brass to come straight down, which when going into ones shirt is rather uncomfortable.

You might want to check out the Armalaser for the Kel-Tec. I looked at the Crimson Trace & didn't feel comfortable with the switch on the small grip. I'm waiting for the Armalaser for my Kel-Tec P32. You can see a cool video on the Armalaser web site. It shows one on a P-32 being dropped from 10 feet 100 times and neither broke! Pretty impressive.
Safe and sane shooting everyone, johnstuf |

XD9sc
I have an XD9sc equipped from the factory with Heinie Straight Eight Tritium sights. Small, light 10+1. I have a Pearce extension on the 10 round magazine. The pistol hides well in a CTAC holster from Comp-Tac. It shoots as well as the 4" service model. Reliable. A very good pistol.

Good links- thanks- I did not realize that there was that much Walther support from other users out there.
