First Look: Walther Creed Pistol
It is in that spirit that Walther introduced the Creed pistol back in 2016. The polymer-framed Creed, priced at $399, featured a pre-cocked double-action trigger and most of the features you'd expect on polymer-framed guns costing $100 to $200 more.
During this year's Industry Day at the Range ahead of the 2017 SHOT Show, I was able to put a few mags through the Walther Creed. I can't offer a full review, but I can present some general first impressions.
Other features on the new Walther Creed include an ambidextrous magazine release, front and rear cocking serrations for slide manipulation and an extended slide stop lever for easier operation, even when wearing gloves. Every metal component on the Creed is also treated with Tenifer coating for a corrosion- and abrasion-resistant, matte black hardened surface.
The Creed is available in 9mm and comes with a 4-inch barrel with a 1:10 twist. Capacity is 16 rounds, and the gun ships with two magazines. Overall length is 7.3 inches, and weight with an empty mag is listed at 26.6 ounces.
The MSRP on the new Walther Creed is $399. For more information, check out the specifications below or visit the Walther Arms website.
