I did something yesterday while at the range that I shouldn't do. It just leads to trouble. I took a look at the new guns for sale. 
I don't really "need" a new gun, but I was particularly interested in looking at the Walther PPS-M2 that I have been reading about and watching videos about. For the past few years, I've been carrying the SW Shield 9MM and it's a very good gun. Reliable and accurate, easy to conceal and shoot. But to be honest, something about it has always bothered me. It just seems a bit rough around the edges. The slide is hard to rack, fit and finish is good but not great. I've had an occasional FTF, though usually it feeds well so it may have been me or the ammo. Still, it's a good gun. After all, it's a Shield. But once I got my hands on the Walther PPS-M2, I fell in love with it. The slide is smooth as butter, and much easier to rack than my Shield, and seems like a much tighter fit. Not nearly as rough on the rack as my Shield. And the hand grip, wow. Much better in my smaller hands than the Shield. While the Shield grip is ok, and I use Talon Grips, the PPS-M2 just feels so much more perfect in my hands. So now, I am thinking about selling my Shield to purchase the Walther. My son thinks I'm crazy to do so, but to do what I want. I even think I may be crazy. 
I think I will see if there is any chance the range will have a Walther for me to try out first of course, but if they don't, I'm going to be very tempted to go ahead with it anyways. Anyone here shot both the Shield and PPS-M@ in 9MM? If so, how do you think the two compare?
