I saw the PPX at Cabelas; for some reason the 9 was more expensive than the 40, which they were advertising for $419. I don’t mind some things at Cabelas but I like to try to give my business to small local shops, because that’s what keeps them in business.

So I went to Blythes. The price was a little less, they had a little wiggle room and I ended up going out the door with the gun and a box of ammo around $440. Blythes bought these when they first came out- there are online retailers selling them for less than Blythes paid for them, but for the few extra dollars, supporting a local company and helping them stay in business is worth it.

And then I went to the website to register it, and found that they are running a promo till years end that gives you an extra magazine, a polymer retention holster, and a dual magazine pouch for $9 shipping. So if you’re thinking about buying one of these, get cracking. I hope to be able to shoot it this afternoon.
