So, with over a year of the Walther PPS being on the market, I'm still waiting on the aftermarket to play catch-up. Fortunately Blade-Tech has finally come out with a ITW kydex holster specifically for the pistol, so I can shitcan the Desantis Stealth I've been using for that purpose. This is all reminding me of how much of a pain in the a** it was for me to wait on gear for Springfield XD's to hit the market, and I figured it might be a good idea to make a thread to pool any potential hits on new aftermarket for some of the newer guns out there. After seeing that new XD series, it seems doubly relevant, so feel free to dump any new aftermarket links in here.

Oh, you have a PPS? I've been drooling over that recently. How do you like it?

'Course, it's probably gonna be another year and a half before I can buy one, but...

From my experience, its my favorite concealer automatic I've ever tried. The only real downsides are a small-ish mag capacity and no real aftermarket, but it's tough as hell, easy to break down, incredibly comfortable and on the mark for being so small. It's about as thick as two video iPods if that tells you something.

Wonderful purchase.

With any luck, I'll be able to SHOOT the damn thing, too. Meh, pipe dreams. I have got to have someone beat pistol shooting into me some day.

I could say the same for rifles, I can't hit jack beyond 50yards. crying

Charley, are you looking for something particular, or just post after market parts for whatever.

Perhaps it's worse that I can hit a man-sized target at 600 yards with a rifle, but I can't hit a man-sized target at 25 feet with a pistol.

Do you have weak wrists? What types and calibers have you been shooting?

I've shot a Star Firestar (1911-style subcompact in 9mm), a Glock 19, a Browning Buckmark, and a couple nondescript .22 revolvers. The Buckmark was scoped though, so I was actually pretty good with it. Personally, I think I'm jerking the trigger like a madman on steroids, but I can't prove it, nor can I stop. My mom owns a .40 and two .45's, and my dad owns a .357, but I don't think I'll get to shoot those any time soon. Also, the .45s are a subcompact Star PD and a collectible Springfield, so I'm scared to shoot one and the other one is still in mint condition.

I gotta break out this sucker some day.

Well, I imagined the thread as a catch-all for people looking for scarce aftermarket, preferably for newer guns but it could even be scarce stuff for older gear like the aforementioned CETME. Me personally, I've scoured Hell's half acre for some tritium to top my PPS but that just isn't happening any time soon.

Does ANYONE AT ALL make ANYTHING AT ALL for the CZ-52 other than Hogue? (they make plastic, metal, and wood grips for the CZ and practically everything else) I'm mostly interested in new machined firing pins. Or CHEAP older pins. They are prone to breakage, especially during dry firing (I use the decocker, anyway, but it always helps to have a spare), and having either a new machined pin or several old ones that don't cost and arm will help greatly. And yes, I know how to replace it. It's harder to get back in than out.

CZ USA doesn't maintain aftermarket for them? That's kinda weird.

I know they contract their magazines through Mec-Gar but I don't know if they do other stuff like pins and such. Tried them?
