I'd love to see an in depth comparison between the Beretta 30X and this Walther, paying specific attention to racking pull needed (with the inherent Tip Up aspect of the 30X in mind). I'm currently in the process of selling all my 9mm gear, and my last 9mm pistol (Taurus G3C, which I dearly love; easy to shoot, stays on target, and is a true Pocket Pistol in size), and transitioning to all .32 caliber weapons. My choices are the Taurus 327 Wheel Gun, the Beretta 30X (about a $100 less than your Walther, but I've not seen a review of the W. yet, so my choice might change depending on the racking results), and in a couple years of saving up, the Henry Rifle in .327 Fed. Mag (though like the Taurus, I'll be shooing the .32 H&R Mag and .32 S&W Long out of it). The ONLY non-.32 I'll be buying down the road, is the S&W in 5.7x28 for a home weapon. Reason for my transitioning? Arthritis and bone issues in my hands and joints, along with cervical and lumbar spinal issues (less recoil the better for me); this is why the Beretta 30X is at the top of my list, with that Tip Up barrel. Anywho, thanks for another great video, and like you, I DETEST EDC's with 'shiny' aspects; it's rather like a big neon sign that says to the bad guy "Please Aim HERE!"

@@jrbailey3208 thank you very much for commenting. Hope I earned a new subscriber! Watch my videos on the 30X if you want a very in-depth review. I’d 100% recommend the Walther over the 30X. It will last longer, has a better trigger, and is only slightly longer while being much slimmer and the same height. Also doesn’t have an aluminum frame and the 30X has some very serious longevity issues right now for multiple components. The worst being the frame issues. If you can find one I also highly recommend a Colt 1903. Even a very used one will still shoot great with new springs and it’s my favorite .32 by far. Also: racking the 30X is much harder than racking the PPK. The slightly bigger size feels better with the PPK and makes handling so much smoother. If Atlantic firearms still has any FEG AP-MBP pistols in stock I would grab one. It’s just an updated PP and you can buy .380 mags and convert them to .32 super easily. They are easily the best deal on the market at $280. They have a chromed bore so the bore is gonna be mint, and even though they are cosmetically pretty worn the 2 I bought were both super clean internally.
@@FreedomsLife1776 Thank you for replying to me so quickly, I DO appreciate it (Life intrudes upon us all these days, what with the 24/7/365 Information Cycle and other Daily Demands, even for an old, crippled up Boomer such as myself!)!! I actually LIKE the look of the thicker 30X compared to slimmer models, because they fit my fat hand much better! (for the most part, there ARE limits) I'm not worried about the aluminum frame in the 30X, it would appear that Beretta has learned the Hard Lessons of the older Tomcat model, with a beefier frame! Considering these aspects (I did a LOT of research into both the Tomcat and the 30X, as I do for ALL purchases, given I'm on a Fixed Income of just over $900 a month), I believe the 30X will last much longer than I shall (at this juncture, due to my heart problems, according to the docs and statistics, I'm on a Path Glide to an appx. 5 Year Shelf life, so I doubt that I'll be able to run enough rounds through a 30X to cause it failures). The two main features of the 30X that caught my eye was the Tip Up Barrel and the Thickness (wood grip model), with MUCH better sights compared to the Tomcat or the Keltec (which is actually a very positiviely reviewed EDC). The $100 difference between the Walther (which Classic Lines really DO talk to me in many ways, having grown up on Sean Connery James Bond movies) and the 30X is VERY KEY to my decision making process. However, I've got time to do more research, as I've decided once I sell my Taurus G3C, to re-invest in a Taurus 327 Wheel Gun, as my pocket pistol of choice. ($350) Then I'll have about a year to save up, combine it with what I have rat holed from selling my G3C, and then choose between the Walther and the 30X; that's the plan anyway! I'm already SUBBED to your channel; you produce GREAT videos, fact based, put in the good, the bad, and the ugly, and provide valuable information that is useable in Real World Terms! I Share and recommend your channel to friends, family, and Online Acquaintances as well; a quality source of information needs to be promoted. Anywho, thanks again for getting back to me and I'll go on over to Atlantic Firearms and see what they have in their larder! Cheers from the Oil Patch in Central WY
@ thank you so much for the kind words man, I really appreciate it. Especially sharing my content: I would really love to be able to make an income capable of providing for my kids and wife doing YT. The AP-MBP is an excellent all around option for you as it has a fatter grip with a nice palm swell. If you’re not worried about training and having reloads in your pocket the one mag it comes with will serve you perfectly. Little big for a pocket pistol as far as length goes but it’s doable, on my video on my AP I show it with a bulldog pocket holster so you can get an idea what you’re working with.
