I have been pondering getting another 9mm since I am a couple fewer now. The Walther PPX had been a contender and when I saw a local ad for Coastal Supply black friday ad listing them for $299 and mail in extra mag, holster and mag pouch I knew I had to look - I was going to be up anyway doing some shopping with the girlfriend.

Coastal has only had firearms for about 3 months but they do it well. It was a pleasant experience despite it being paper based. Their black friday gun prices were good. I didn't really compare their normal prices, that is for a non-black Friday day.

Going to the gf's store first really worked well. I missed the early rush. A risk since they had run out of several black friday Guns. Luckily Not the PPX though.

What immediately sold me was the trigger. It has a bobbed hammer but it is pre-cocked like a striker and the result is a very crisp smooth trigger without take up. Clean like an XD or a Steyr but no slack. It also feels more like a traditional pull, definitely not a striker but like a light double-action revolver cocking the hammer from yester-year (not today's lawyer-inspired triggers).

Anyway, just took it home so not a lot of experience with it yet, but here is an obligatory pic:
