I've heard nothing but horror stories about the Grendel, but I have had no actual hands on experience. I've had a couple Kel-Tecs and was not impressed by either. And talk about feeling like a child's toy... Not to mention that, like the Grendel, the design is dated. Time for an overhaul Kel-Tec. The Walther seems like a viable option, but I did make some observations. Unlike the M&P,  the Walther is a true blowback design. The slide is heavier and bulkier. I haven't actually fired one, but I can imagine that 40 gr. bullets are what it was designed to run. Lighter bullets are likely to cause issues. Again, just speculation based on the operating system. I also quickly noticed that the grip is significantly larger than all of the others. I have very large hands and had no problems reaching the trigger, but my friend that was with me has smaller hands and immediately commented on the difficulty of reaching the trigger. He tried the other pistols mentioned as well and prefers the M&P.Someone please buy one of the Walthers and give us a range report! Inquiring minds are busy with important matters, but the rest of us want to know.</blockquote>
