Who got in on the Zermatt Waltz 9 Pre-order?

[ShootFirstFirster]

It’s hard to say because I ran into an issue when trying to check out. It kept telling me I didn’t select a shipping method. Apparently others had this issue. When I finally got my payment processed, I signed back on and went through the process again just to see what the stock levels were. It was 89 at that point so I’m assuming I’m somewhere around the 150-161 mark of the 250. They confirmed with me that they will fill orders in the same order that they were received as well.

same thing. I got in with 215 left and 2 min later 96 then 25 left a minute after that.

I think the shipping glitch was a big hiccup.

Oh yah, that's a good reminder I should ask them to remove the spare item I checked out with just to get around that shipping issue.

LOL, that stupid bug kept popping up and I tried for a good 10 minutes to do all kinds of stuff before I thought to just try adding another item to see. If not for that I might have been able to grab one of the first five. As it is, I think I'm in the first 20-30 based on what I saw once I added a new item to my cart again to see stock levels. A lot of people seemed to have given up once they ran into the issue so I think we got pretty lucky.

I was on the second it opened but was messing around with that issue for at least 10 mins. I was so early that I was the first one to call them about the issue. He had to end the call because they were getting an influx of calls about the same thing. I couldn’t get ahold of them again after that, just a busy signal. I agree, we should be happy we even got our orders through. Hopefully it’s worth it.

I can’t imagine more than a dozen made it into the state. Maybe 1/10 of the 250 max. It’ll be a rare breed for a bit and I’m looking forward to testing the crap out of it.

How many rental ranges do you think tried to get one? Could be a big renter for some. Oh that one? This one is $50 per hour to rent .

Scott from R66 wanted like 50 lol. I’m sure he went in on one or two just to add to the stable. Maybe Iron Mike’s too.

I ordered the 2 tone, standard barrel, grip tape grips and panels, no sites, atandard magwell, and short flat trigger. Didn’t expect Kovert to have such an extreme SSE fee, but not much we can do. Going to sell my like new P and my 5” m&p to offset.

Let’s talk about that MP!

 

[yoshi13]

Let’s talk about that MP!

Haha. It’ll be listed soon. I love m&p’s but I have 4 and just got a metal HD, so the 5” polymer will probably go. Apex barrel and trigger. About 2400 round count.

 

[6MMBRA]

Zermatt is a great company and in my experience if you’re able to get in on the presale you’ll be golden. Zero issues with my presale order when they released their Origin action years ago. Great CS and they for sure stand behind their products. Wish I could have jumped in on this but I’m too poor.

 

[RustVendor]

do we call the HD the poverty Waltz 9 now?

 

[cobian1984]

That shipping method glitch had people STRESSED! Stuck it out for nearly an hour and got mine through when they finally fixed the problem. Showed like 215 available for most of that time then suddenly it was down in the low double-digits once the glitch was resolved. Apparently the handful that were able to get through early in the process were folks adding an item like a hat or a t-shirt to the order, which then allowed them to complete the purchase.

My build:
Both barrels
Black nitride
Grip tape panels
Machined grip module
Competition magwell
No front sight
Slick RMR plate
Medium mag release
Short flat trigger

We shall see if the juice is worth the squeeze (by all accounts so far it would seem to be).

Let’s talk when you’re ready

So the Zermatt Waltz 9 is like the iPhone Duo of 2011’s and striker-fired pistols? Haha!!

Different form factor, high build quality, short supply, high demand?

And, like the Duo, I want one haha!!

Anyone have an idea when the next batch will be available for pre-order? They look very cool.

Not until they deliver the first batch. So, probably February or March.

This seems like it would be a very expensive way to remind myself I'm a mediocre shooter

I can do that with a stock Glock or really most guns It’s as easy as just shoot faster, at further distances, with less strict sight confirmation levels, at a smaller zone or target.

Cost Analysis

4900 base gun plus all extras was 850 dual barrel 100 machined grip module 60 machine grip panels.

Gun: 5910
TAX: 592
SINTAX: 600
KOVERT SSE: 1000( I think this is excessive)

All in 8150ish

Whats an Atlas cost these days? 7?

Waltz I get two barrels, glock mags and no BS hand fitting anything. If i need a Part its drop in.

I’m sorry.. $8,150 for a fancy looking Glock?!? I couldn’t even begin to compare this to an Atlas. Maybe I’m missing something?

Technically 5920 if you live in a tax free state with no roster.
1200ish in taxes and 1000 in ransom

 

[9mmContagion]

You're talking about an off roster gun. So either swallow the SSE fee or buy off some flipping guns. What are people flipping Atlas' for?
This is my Grail BBQ Retirement Gift to myself. I thought I could make it out of California sooner than I can so here we are. Getting screwed by the State and the LGS. Feels Great.

I’ve bought all my Atlas pistols via PPT for far less than you can buy ones new. Even in free states. Often 15% off base price.

 

[ShootFirstFirster]

All accounts so far are as good as any atlas and as accurate as any top bulls gun

So 5920 for a dual barrel full optioned handgun with no hand fitting seems reasonable

It’s just an innovative and new take on how to derive more performance out of a striker fired gun. Both the sight block and comped barrels shot favorably compared to the Atlases I ran them against. I’ve owned all but one V2 Atlas model over the years and they’re no slouch, but the waltz9 is about the same. I still prefer the controls and index of a 2011 as that’s what I’m used to, but it would be reasonable for someone to prefer this over an Artemis or Erebus.

This will also soon be carry optics legal so it has the advantage there in competing against CZs rather than high end 2011s.
