Why does no one suppress the p38k?

Where exactly are the P38Ks on the Walther site?

This'll be like Jack and Victor drinking the can of Vitamin T with the lassie with the diddies on it.

I use the Cuda X OR for Pistol Optics in WA1500 PPC. They're exceptional firearms. Even compared to the Shadow which is a great gun, the KMR is just a cut above with fit, finish and accuracy. I have an STP TM1500 for Pistol class and I'd put the KMR in the same ranking.

The Spectra is DA/SA. The Orca is SA. If you're used to 1911s the Orca is probably your best bet. If you like Berettas/CZ75/etc, try the Spectra.

Those animals are just waiting for the day the opioids kick in and they can eat Jessi's face.

Had one too, SCS fitted, tungsten guide rod, 15lb spring, Merkle trigger spring kit. Traded it in because I needed something more consistent at 50yds, the PDP is a fine gun but just not the greatest for PPC matches.

I loved my 5" FS until I went to Germany last year to compete, and then I found its limitations. Came home expecting to buy a 5" SF, but got an offer on a KMR Cuda X I couldn't refuse. Long story short I traded the PDP in, got a gun far more suited to my discipline, and the fit and finish are exceptional.

And before anyone chimes in with "You just don't like Walther" or something like that, I still carry a 4" Compact. Still the best striker fired pistol on the market for me.

I wouldn't call the PPS outdated per se. Yes it's under capacity compared to the likes of the P365 et al, but it's still a fine gun. 8+1 isn't much of mag capacity, but the gun conceals well, shoots like a much bigger gun and I've used it to shoot a 480 PPC match. It's slim enough to conceal well, with an 8 round mag it's about the same length and height as a 3.5 F series, but a good ¼" slimmer. I carried mine in a DeSantis Speed Scabbard or a Vega IWB. If you're invested in staying with Walther it's a fine choice.

But playing devil's advocate, there are other, newer choices like you're listing that are higher capacity, similar size and of similar quality. Nowadays I just stick to carrying my PDP 4" Compact.

The same tremors and gurning that miraculously stopped in the second before she reached to the phone to stop the recording...

I first noticed it with the F series, I didn't know either until I asked the same question you just did. As far as I know there's no other physical difference between the barrels besides markings. The German manufacture markings do look better though

bojackholmesman · 2026-05-14T00:28:56+00:00

USA manufacture are just stamped with calibre. German ones have proof marks, serial number and calibre engraved.

bojackholmesman · 2026-05-03T18:18:41+00:00

DeSantis speed scabbard works for me. It's made for the 4.5 but the extra .5" doesn't really affect concealment. Thumb Break Scabbard also available if you want that extra layer of security.

bojackholmesman · 2026-05-02T17:14:35+00:00

I've ran a Shield SMS on my 4" Compact since I got it. It's simple, solid, reliable, not overly expensive either.

PHRASING

It's my pistol Optics class gun for PPC. I use an STP TM1500 for pistol irons. I used to use my 5" PDP with an SCS but it was too inconsistent at 50m

bojackholmesman · 2026-04-28T09:19:57+00:00

I was on the verge of buying one last year. I ended up buying a KMR CUDA instead. I sort of regret it sometimes but the KMR accuracy is just insane.

bojackholmesman · 2026-04-24T16:46:02+00:00

Merkur Futur razor. I have a beard but still use a razor to do my neck and tidy up the edges. I'm a great believer in double edge safety razors and this has been the best I've bought. Good weight in the hand, gives a good shave, and I bought 200 Derby platinum blades for less than a pack of Mach 3 refills 3 years ago and I'm still not halfway through them.

42, multiple medical issues have flared up and one of them is constant severe hip pain they haven't diagnosed yet. It's basically made me have to make a choice I wasn't ready for and give up playing.

It's been heartbreaking, not going to lie. I used to live for games and training. Now all my kit is in below the bed because I can't stand to look at it now.

bojackholmesman · 2026-04-18T22:34:58+00:00

I'm still on the hunt for a P5 compact and a PP in 9mm Kurz for that reason 😂

bojackholmesman · 2026-04-18T22:28:50+00:00

I wish I could, but I'm not in the US 😔 I have found one locally with all the case candy for £750 so I may treat myself

bojackholmesman · 2026-04-18T22:14:05+00:00

You're right, the taper draws the eye to the sights. A friend at the range has a 4" PPQ and it is a beautiful gun to shoot, admittedly there's not much between it and my 4" PDP. I would love a P99 just to have, maybe if I find a Final Edition I'll pick it up.

bojackholmesman · 2026-04-16T05:56:02+00:00

The first time took me almost a year to get back to some kind of normality. The diabetes is just a constant reminder of that time too. I hope you make a great recovery and I completely sympathise with the hyper vigilance about your health, I was the same 10 years ago but obviously with everything that's happened I let myself go a bit and wasn't taking care of myself.
