I own a PPS M2 and love it. Excellent trigger, great ergos, reliable, and dead on accurate. I have shot my friends Shield 1.0 and did not like the way it shot.

great, great pistol. don't plan on customizing beyond the sights as there isn't really anything out there for them. works for me as I can't modify my off duty guns if I want to be covered by my agency.

Local shop has the LE model w the 3 mags for $300. Feels like a good price.

The wife tried 5 different compact carry guns and picked the PPS-M2. Best fit and easiest to handle for her.

i see LE all the time, and you must qualify to purchase...Is there a law that civilians can't have certain types of night sights ?

I have had one now for about a year and have put about 800 rounds through it. No malfunctions of any sort and have no complaints on the performance in general. The one thing I would pay careful attention to is the way the gun fits in your hand. I have an issue where the beaver tail of the gun (think back left corner) rests on the fist knuckle at the base of my thumb. Not an issue if you are not going to shoot it often but after a couple boxes of ammo the wear and tear on my thumb actually split the skin.
When I asked someone at the range about it they said they see it frequently with that gun and someone had recently traded one in due to this issue. |

LE denotes it comes with 3 mags instead of 2 and photo luminescent sights (not tritium) Quote HistoryQuoted:

I am very pleased with my PPS M2 but wanted to point out some things... 1. It's a tad front/top-heavy compared to a Shield. This is not necessarily a bad thing it's probably why it's such a soft shooter for its size but just be aware of that. 2. Price of spare magazines. Even at their lowest...ouch. 3. Textured finish on grip could stand to be a bit more aggressive but I have very callused hands so there's that. |

I wanted to add that you might find that the PPS M2 does not fit your hand any better than the 1.0 Shield. Like the Shield, the Walther doesn't have much if any of a palm swell and because it's a very slim single stack your hand will have limited contact esp. with a short grip length. Or you could buy a G43X to solve that issue.

I'm a solid Glock guy, but carry a PPS daily. If I wasn't so invested in Glock I might would even consider switching to a PPQ.

I owned the first version of the PPS which was a great gun though I didn't love the HK style mag release.
Flawless reliability, accurate easy to carry... I've switched to a Glock 43X but the PPS is a solid choice |

no malfunctions ever in 1000+ rounds, it is my carry 90% of the time
few aftermarket options and pricy mags keep this in mind i will carry IWB with the 8 rd mag sometimes,mostly stick with the 6. its just more comfortable than my G26 for IWB look for the mark inside the magwell meaning the recall update has been completed for the M2s that went out last November?? i believe it had something to do with the internal trigger/drop safety that was used from the original version of the PPS. all new manufacture should already be compliant, i had mine back within 2 weeks, still shoots great and no change to the trigger pull.

I ended up getting the standard non LEO model without the 8 round mag. The LEO version sold out at the sale price.
So for $270 I felt ok about it. Bought two 8 rounders from gun mag wearhouse and a US Grunt Gear IWB holster and it has been wonderful. Going to but some night sights on it soon. I also own a Gen 1 Shield 9mm and the Walther seems like a much more refined Shield with only one negative: You lose 1 round in capacity.  Attached File Attached FilePat |

I just got one a few weeks from a PSA deal. Came to $267 shipped. Took it out over the weekend and put a couple different boxes of defensive loads through it, as well as a 100 round box of WWB. Functioned flawlessly and shot well. I'm currently carrying it in a Gunsligner's Inc. Hyrid Kydex IWB and it is like it isn't even there. I may lose it to my daughter though. She came with me to the range and we forgot to pack the 22 pistol, so she shot quite a bit through it. She did better than me, and she is only 12! Might have to get a second one for her.

Did they fix the barrel peening issue?

I had one at one time. Loved the ergonomics! I shot very well with it and being slim it concealed completely under a T-shirt during the hot months, One of the two issues I had was the recoil spring would not stay in place. I actually had to turn the slide “up” and lay the spring in place to reassemble. I eventually purchased another aftermarket spring to correct that problem.
The other issue was the barrel peening that Walther stated was”normal” and they stated “after shooting it for a while it would stop!” Really? I think their response ate at me just as much if not more than the peening itself. So needless to say it’s gone and now with a Glock 43 there is NO peening and one inch wide as the PPS. I shoot it just as well and the recoil spring stays in place. |

My twin brother bought a PPS M2 LE. It’s an awesome gun. I like it better than my S&W shields (I have two gen 1’s)

Love mine. I did replace the sights with TruGlo big dot night sights. First 7 shots through it at 7yds.
