The Walther PPS is a nice gun. I had a PPKS (a little smaller) as a back-up for a while, but sold it because the slide "bit" my hand.
I'm in the last state to not allow CC. Friggin blows!
So here's my current ccw for when carrying larger isn't an option.

That's an ingenious "holster", does it provide enough friction for jumping jacks? I'm serious as I have never seen one like it till now and I'm thinking my NAA Pug 22mag would make a nice "necklace". Lastly, who made it?
Now don't slam me for this Redneck idea, but after looking at that holster, I suddenly want to make one out of thin PVC, heating and forming the fit.
It's made by Trojan Tactical (trotac.com). It's their "Bandito" holster.
It's just kydex molded to the trigger guard. It comes with 8-10" of paracord attached. I just loop it through my belt and tuck into my waist band when pocket carry wont work (small pockets, lots of junk to carry, etc). I also have sewn a loop into a couple of my bags that I carry when I have to carry off body and I just hook the loops together with a small s-biner and it keeps the trigger guard protected and as I pull it out of the bag the "holster" pops off.
I haven't tried bouncing it around a lot but if I get a chance this weekend I'll get my camera out and give it a go and post the test. Retention seems pretty good. Easily supports the weight of the loaded gun so I'm interested to see what happens.
I have one for my M&P 9c as well (goes in bags, I have a real holster for IWB with it).
Their kydex is reasonably priced. I think $40 for an OWB holster and I think these were maybe $12 each.
Their products ended up being more successful than planned and they stopped taking orders through Oct. 1 to catch up and get back to short lead times.
How many of you guys still carry a snubby?,I still use my mod.60 every now and again,and my boys just bought me a Crimson Trace laser grip for my birthday,and HOLEY COW !!! this is so far, the most incredable transformation of a gun I have ever seen. It has turned a very reliable but not very accurate firearm into one of the best point and shooters have ever played with. I've been practicing point shooting since I was a kid with a BB gun, and have many old broken flowerpots, doodads, and other decorations that my wife and my mother have yelled at me about. I was decent. But now I Am Invincible! With this grip I can pull a gun and drill a 3 inch group at about 15 to 20 feet so fast that it made my own jaw goes slack if you have the gun, and the means, I Strongly recommend one. It is probably one of the best yuks per Bucks toys I have gotten in years. I think my next two toys are going to be a pair for my model 19, and my commander, and even though I just got this I can't wait to get those.
I still sent Trojan Tactical a email to inquire...thanks for the linky!
If they're slow getting back to you they're pretty a active on Facebook. Good luck and I hope they have a mold or acess to a pug for you.
Actually yes, albeit hammer sitting on an empty cylinder.
Not allowed here in the Peoples Republic of Illinois
Mine was real pretty when I got it, but now it's got a lot of carry wear. I'd say the blueing is 75-80% now. I'm down to a couple hundred rounds myself...gotta place an order to ammoman.com soon!
Anyone use a remora holster? I've been thinking about them for a bit and thought I'd ask before I take the leap.
G19 every day for me.
+ 1 on the G19.
Depends on where I'm going. No matter which pistol, or how many, I select, there is always a Spyderco Manix 2, or a Gale Bradley on my pocket.
Handgun choice: Walther TPH in ankle holster, Colt 1911, Sig P230 or Glock 19 in Fobus belt holster, 4 Aces derringer in money clip pocket.

I love Kansas :).
The Walther dealer in MA, Earl's Repair Service, carries the full line of original Walther holsters and other accessories.
Walther Holsters
I carried my PPS mostly in the "Hip Open Top", but I also had the "Inside Pants w. Clip", which is really easy to move from position to position.
The PPS is one gun that I regret selling... "sniff"
Kimber 4" 45, Kahr PM9, or a Rohrbaugh 9mm depending on weather and clothing.
I just bout a Galico 19 IWB holster today. So far I like it. I now need to loose a few pounds though.
This is why i carry sob...I carry a few extra pound too
Heres my smith & wesson 9mm sigma series pistol I have added lazer, steel guide rod & recoil spring, increased strength sear spring, and reduced weight trigger pull spring. Along with several holsters and annother magazineAttachment 110180 will also add pics of other guns I own later.
On Nov 1 Oklahoma will be an open carry state. I don't think I'll open carry, to me it seems that you're giving up a tactical advantage. I'm curious what others in open carry states think.
Just now saw the other thread, even after a search for CCW, go figure. Sorry.
Here in VA we're open carry. I'm not a big fan of advertising what I have while I'm out and about.
The upside is that if my shirt comes untucked or I'm on my way to the range and need to make a quick ammo stop I can keep my gun on my belt and nobody really cares.
But I also live in an area where an awful lot if people own more camo than any other clothes so guns ate pretty common down here.
There are some trying for open carry here in FL for a long while. I've had a ccw permit since the early '90s and I 'don't leave home without it.' I agree that it leaves the person with a tactical disadvantage if they are a non LEO carrying openly. May even get them killed. Perps might take them out immediately to neutralize the threat or to get their weapon. IMHO.
It took Oklahoma awhile to get open carry passed. I was granted my permit in August and tbh I'm still a little paranoid abut whether I'm profiling or not. lol the first time I carried I kept checking to make sure it wasn't visible.
I open carry most of the time (once in awhile concealed) and it's pretty common to do so here in Arizona. I carry not to be a hero who prevents some sort of crime from occurring, but rather for protection for myself and my family who live in a city where we are short over 150 police officers for the city's size and population. I agree with Jimmy regarding the possibility of an non LEO open carry citizen becoming a target for the "perps" but for me personally, I just try to avoid situations where that may be the case. Whether you carry concealed or open, training with your gun of choice and proper mindset are key.
An S&W M&P .40 in the winter, and a Ruger LC9 in the summer (when the clothes are less bulkier). Usually I conceal, but have been known to open carry when on my motorcycle because there really isn't a comfortable way to CC on a bike.
I CC where legal, OC where legal. There are "tactical advantages" to both.
Either way, my holster is filled with a Walther P99 in 9x19mm.
FWIW, I made my own OC holster.
