Starting out?

[newTexan]

If you just loath the idea of a wheelgun, take a close look at the Walther PPS you mentioned in your OP. $569 + tax at GT Distributors in Austin. I've been very happy with mine going on one year old. Can carry in pocket, but travels best in a quality IWB holster.

Don't you have to be military or law enforcement to buy from GT?

As for the OP's question...I'd point out that that much $$ can buy a LOT of ammo and range time. :-)

To buy a NEW Glock, Sig, or Springfield, you must law enforcement, military, fire-fighter, first responder etc.

To buy anything else in the store you just have to have money and be able to fill out the 4473 and pass the NICS (or show CHL).

I bought mine from them for that price last September. Of course, back then Walther was only shipping one mag. Now they come with two mags for same price
