 This version would come with an extended and threaded barrel for the easy installation of a sound suppressor. The Walther rep advised an additional version of the PPX would be released.  MSRP for the all black is $499 and $549 for the duo-tone.

 Both versions can be had in either caliber.  The duo-tone will have a black frame and a stainless slide.

Two versions of the gun will be made:  all black and one duo-tone.  Certainly, the PPX’s grip and control placement follows the PPQ design mold.  Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and you are welcome to disagree.  I suppose the PPX is much more closely designed like the Walther PPQ, but I do not find the gun to be sleek or attractive. The overall shape seemed a bit blocky, and vaguely resembled a Hi Point pistol. The Walther PPX has a Picatinny-style accessory rail forward of the trigger guard.  At this time, there are no night-sights available or planned for the gun. The sights on the PPX were standard three-dot.  A recessed and bobbed hammer can be seen at the rear of the slide.  The system is hammer fired, not striker fired.  As I understand it, it is not a true double action pull, but rather a “prepped” pull with a relatively short, and perceptible reset. Walther reps called the trigger pull on the PPX a “constant action” system.  The mag release button is reversible for left-handed shooters. When swapping magazines, the shooter will use a conventional push-button style magazine release, not the lever/paddle type found on some other models of Walther pistols.  Either way, you should have an adequate amount of felon repellant should it be needed.  The 9mm version will hold 16 rounds in the magazine. The new PPX will be available in 9mm and.  Here are some more details on the gun and some of my observations. The new Walther PPX was on display at the NASGW Expo, and regular readers of this site have probably already seen some of the photos of the pistol.
