Kimber DS Warrior vs Walther PDP Pro-X

[colegeiser51]

Im looking for a new range toy 9mm handgun. I currently own a CZ shadow 2, glock 19, glock 43x, and taurus tx22. I have large hands so prefer the larger frame/grips of the 1911DS and PDP.

Kimber DS Warrior would cost me $810 all said and done.

Walther PDP Pro-X would cost me $850 all said and done.

Open to other suggestions.

I have a pdp so I'm biased, but i would go with that if you want something that can keep up with the fastest of trigger fingers.

The PDP's a good gun, but given you already have a couple of striker-fired guns, the Kimber would give you a great SAO option.

I'd go Kimber.

I've got a Pro Comp I edc and love it. The big thread on DS 1911's made me do it. It makes shooting a pistol stupid easy. It's insane how easy it is to shoot very well.

I haven't shot the DS Warrior but I've shot a few of the other recent Kimbers which were great. The DS Warrior seems like a home run for the price point. That said, there is something magical about the PDP Pro X. You'd be hard pressed to find a faster striker fired, polymer framed pistol on the market.

Can't go wrong with either. I'd lead the PDP Pro X personally. It will be faster and exhibit a better trigger. That said, it may be fun to get a new platform and the DS 1911 would certaintly fit that bill!

Only other guns that would tempt me at that price range would be the new Canik Prime Radian (though you already have a carry gun) or an M&P 5.7 (my favorite pistol I own). An M&P 5.7 w/ a SAW Klik suppressor would be around the same price point and would be ridiculously fun and effective.
