PPS. The other two get all the publicity, but from what I've heard the PPS is the better gun.
Gun Range Lottery: Which Do You Choose?
The gun range where I am a member is holding a members-only gun raffle this Labor Day weekend. For each trip to the range, a member is given an entry ticket. The winner will receive one of three guns (I believe 9mm only):
Since I already have an XD-S in .45ACP, I'd probably pass on the S&W. The Shield is so darn close to an XD-S, that I think I would probably go with the Walther.
And you?
- Smith & Wesson Shield
- Springfield Armory XD-S Essentials
- Walther PPS

I'd go for the PPS. It's about as close as I'll ever come to finding a new HK single stack 9mm.
Another vote for the Walter.
I'd choose the Walther first then the XDS. I really like Walthers and I've shot my sons XD plenty of times and I'm found of that also. Out of the three I like the Shield least but I'd certainly take one if someone gave it to me. At least it's not a glock :image035:
of the choices, the Walther PPS
Legitimate Gun Range Lottery? Or a "How am I going to explain this latest gun purchase to the wife?" type of Gun Range Lottery?
As for you choice I have both the Shield and XDs. Love them both. XDs has a better look and feel, but the Shield more accurate.

I'd concern myself about it AFTER...my ticket was pulled! Good Luck!
(BTW, is the PPS an M2?)

I'd take the Springield...only because I've had the opportunity to try both the Shield and the Walther and the PPS grip is not nearly as natural feeling as the Shield. I bought the Shield that day and the Springfield was a strong contender...both better feeling in the hand than the PPS. There is a LOT I like about the PPS but the grip isn't one of them.
Take the PPS-best of the lot by far.The gun range where I am a member is holding a members-only gun raffle this Labor Day weekend. For each trip to the range, a member is given an entry ticket. The winner will receive one of three guns (I believe 9mm only):

I'd even recommend buying one if you don't win one.
Definitely the PPS. I've owned the XDS and PPS. I still have the PPS which is my main carry pistol. I've shot a Shield twice and was not overly impressed. Not bad just not what the Walther PPS is.
PPS especially if it's the M2 version
I have an XDs...it isn't my favorite but it sees a lot of carry when I need a smaller gun. The shield is on my "one of these days I'll get one" list. I've never even hefted a PPS. Time to make my way down to the LGS and check one out.
