My first view of the Creed was a few months ago at the Walther HQ in Fort Smith. I was impressed while looking at the pre-production sample, and was shocked to hear the suggested retail of $399.00! I even asked if they were concerned by the price\/value relationship with their other guns. They assured me that they would be fine.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_66194\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Creed-3.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"walther-400-new-9mm-creed-full-review\" title=\"A Walther for under $400?

Inside was the Creed, sealed in a plastic bag with two 16-round magazines. I had already been told that the Creed would only be offered in 9mm at launch; I am quite sure that Walther, along with most other pistol manufacturers, are seeing that the .40 S&amp;W is in rapid decline, with no change in sight. My model was almost identical to the pre-production model I had handled. When you move past function and reliability, the two most important features to the pistol-buying public are grip and trigger pull. People want a smooth, reasonable trigger pull and a grip that feels natural when shooting the gun. The Creed appeared to offer these right out of the box.<\/p>\n<p>[one_half]<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_66205\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Creed-19.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"walther-400-new-9mm-creed-full-review\" title=\"A Walther for under $400?

I point this out because many guns come with plastic sights these days. The Creed is also equipped with a Mil-Std 1913 Picatinny rail for mounting lights and lasers. There are only four external levers to be found: trigger, magazine release, slide release and takedown lever. The Creed features a pre-cocked double-action trigger system and a bobbed hammer. It has a very smooth and consistent trigger action. The stated trigger pull is 6.52 lbs.; The sample I had measured 4 lbs., 3.6 oz. on my digital trigger pull gauge. The trigger travels about 5\/8 of an inch from resting to stop. The magazine release button is a traditional American-style thumb button, configured to accommodate a right-handed shooter, but it is reversible for left-handed operation. I know that there are a few hardcore Walther fans screaming at their screens right now about the advantages of the trigger guard paddle magazine release; sorry, this is a gun focused on the American market. The slide stop is located on the left side of the slide, and is operated with your right-hand thumb. This will be an adjustment for those not accustomed to a slide release this far to the rear, but Sig shooters will feel right at home.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_66198\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Creed-8.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"walther-400-new-9mm-creed-full-review\" title=\"A Walther for under $400?

The basic standards must be met by any gun for it to have value. The alternative to valuable (cheap), is not acceptable when your life is at stake, and who wants to buy a gun that can\u2019t protect their life? These key measures are: reliability, accuracy and ease of operation. I selected three different types of ammunition for my testing, seen in the below table.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Screen-Shot-2016-11-17-at-10.08.51-AM-e1479395773647.png\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"walther-400-new-9mm-creed-full-review\" title=\"A Walther for under $400?

The controls of a defensive weapon should allow for rapid reloads, and its sights should allow the user to acquire them quickly after the gun is drawn from the holster. These standards must be applied against a realistic target for proper testing.<\/p>\n<p>To evaluate these metrics, I set up a course of fire on an IDPA target with a range from 7-10 yards. The Creed needed to deliver on these counts to be a true value.<\/p>\n<h2>On the Range<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_66202\" style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Creed-12.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"walther-400-new-9mm-creed-full-review\" title=\"A Walther for under $400?

I then fired all 17 rounds at the center of the zero in the center scoring area. It was a nice to see that the gun supported a dead center zero, as opposed to the 6 o\u2019clock zero that some European guns are calibrated for. I repeated this with each of the three different rounds I was testing. The net result was 51 rounds, without lubricating or inspecting the pistol, going down range without a misplaced round, or a single malfunction. This was a welcomed harbinger of things to come. I next began to work on drawing and rapid fire, to see how the gun handled when pushed. I noticed that I was finding myself doing some re-gripping with my support hand during the rapid-fire shooting. Out of this next 51 round volley, fired from 7 yards, four rounds were thrown out of the center 8 inch scoring zone.<\/p>\n<p>It was time to begin working the gun on reloads. This would involve the loading of 10 rounds: one in the chamber, five in the magazine inserted into the gun, and four rounds in the second magazine. I managed to fumble the magazine insertion on the first reload, but eventually got the gun reloaded. I was required to actively look at my thumb on the slide release, as it was a little further back than I have habituated myself to with other polymer service pistols. The second bout of reloading went remarkably smoother, and by the third iteration the process just seemed to flow naturally. The next 30 rounds were reloaded following the same methodology, except that I used the overhand tug method of reloading. This was easily accomplished with the nicely-appointed serrations on the rear of the slide.<\/p>\n<p>Next, I began working on both strong and weak hand shooting. I again found that the gun was easy to shoot and accurate. I will confess that reloads when shooting weak-handed would have been expedited greatly had I taken the time to move the magazine release to the right side of the pistol. The feature was available; I just didn\u2019t take advantage of it.<\/p>\n<p>[one_half]<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_66197\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Creed-7.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"walther-400-new-9mm-creed-full-review\" title=\"A Walther for under $400?

The center lever present on many of today\u2019s polymer pistols was absent, so the tactile sensation was much more like a precisely-tuned revolver trigger than that of a traditional polymer pistol. The accuracy delivered from 10 yards, with all three types of ammunition, was simply outstanding.<\/p>\n<p>I fired about 400 rounds through the gun without a single malfunction of any sort. I ran a grab bag of leftover self-defense rounds that had acuminated from previous tests through the gun. These ranged from standard velocity to +P, and bullet weights up to 147 grain. I just randomly loaded these into the two included magazines. The recoil was not noticeable, nor was functionality or accuracy impacted with this cornucopia of ammunition. Nice.<\/p>\n<h2>The Bottom Line<\/h2>\n<p>The definition of Creed is this: A set of beliefs or aims that guide someone&#8217;s actions. Well, if Walther is bold enough to tell us what their creed is with this gun, then this is one that I can get behind. This gun is reliable, accurate, easy to shoot and a real bargain.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_66196\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Creed-6.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"walther-400-new-9mm-creed-full-review\" title=\"A Walther for under $400?
