Walther PP carry

[wtcreaux]

Folks, I'm a FNG to concealed carry (but not to sidearms).

How do you carry your PP??

What device (holster) do you find most comfortable??

I'm 5'-10" and 170, medium build. I usually wear slacks and dress shirt. My job requires wearing a lab coat.

Also, I get bit by the slide almost every shot. I'm trying to figure this one out since my G22 and G23 have NEVER bitten. Any suggestions??

Thanks;e

Check out Don Hume holsters I have both IWB and Pocket You work in office you might want try pocket or the smart carry set up.
All the older Walthers are known to bite if You grip to high. I have NEVER been bit but I also don't have a high grip.I shoot the baby Browning 25 auto with out slide bite. That pistol makes a Ket tec seem large.
The new S&W PPK and PPK/S have a larger tang that forces you hand into a lower grip. Thus no slide bite.

Michael Right about the Don Hume Holster, I got one & it's great
It's probobly your grip that's getting you bitten
Is the hammer bitting you or is the slide slicing you??
The S&W Walthers have the extended beavertail and lower cut backstrap
In the third pic note how I reshaped the backstrap & rounded the beavertail.
In the first two pics it's still factory
Also drop by & see Michael T & I at the Walther Forums

The PP I have is a German made in the 1960's (surplus police). It is the slide that bites on the trigger finger side of my web.

I may have picked up a bad habit(?) from combat shooting with my Glock. I tend to grip the weapon hard (all shooting is done point shooting).

Thanks
