No.  The direct blow-back action of the PP's would be rather painful in 
9mm, and would also be very hard on the gun itself.  Walther does make a  
"wonder-nine" called the P88.  It is a fine gun (also REALLY expensive in 
the states).  However, I would not say it is any "better" per say than a 
good SIG or Browning.
